Calling the Power Within: Recollection
by Dylan Harper
It comes from our own higher self, and only within ourselves can we find the knowledge and power to achieve the aims of evolution. Without our own vision, willpower, and courage we could never get anywhere.
As we swim through life’s energy currents we brush against an enormous amount of forces that we seldom fathom or come to terms with. There are forces that constantly shape us, or in other words shape our experiences and our inner states. When we are totally unaware of how these forces are moving us or affecting our everyday life we somehow feel dragged by the tides.
We sometimes feel overwhelmed, insecure, overpowered or ungrounded. Our mindset turns fatalistic and we project a sense of powerlessness back to our world, our relationships and surroundings. We feel unaccomplished, held captive by our own destiny that pushes us around into places we feel we don’t belong to or haven’t been invited to. We often feel certain forces pushing hard against us and this makes us build a view of the world that is hostile, unsupportive and treacherous. We feel that life is hard in general and that things do not flow easily towards us.
Balancing on the Waves
The other side of the coin is when we are in balance with these inner and outer energies. We allow ourselves to experience life more fully – meaning that we are more open to life’s forces without being swept away or crushed by them when they beat heavily on our shores. More importantly, we are open and aware of those energies that are supportive, healing, nourishing and creative. This is the real blessing. There is an awakening when we come to be more attentive to those creative forces that are opening opportunities of change in us, through not ignoring life lessons when they present themselves to us, or through allowing and trusting when we come through a passage or crossing we don’t yet fully understand. There is a precious gift in being able to ‘see’ what our mind cannot yet see or comprehend.
Giving Yourself the Permission to Recollect
We become more whole and human when we give ourselves the permission to love and forgive ourselves. As we give ourselves the permission to stop being hard on ourselves and momentarily disconnect and disassociate from our internal stories – from our fears, insecurities, limiting beliefs and the incessant mind chatter, we connect to a larger whole we call the Self – an infinite source of power and wisdom that goes beyond our mind or distorted perception of reality. We transcend beyond the jittery and fragmented concepts and beliefs about ourselves. We start recollecting.
