You’re an individual. You’re unique. And you have so very much to offer to life and the world.
Sometimes in spiritual circles, I notice that in working to advance, there’s a perception that you should be like ‘this’, or that you should emulate some latter day ‘master’ or present day ‘guru’.
These might be reflections of you, but they are only reflections. And there’s also the risk that you lose yourself in those around you: partners, friends and colleagues. There’s an interrelation where if you’re not careful, you take on their stuff. So individuality is essential. Not that we shouldn’t be in relationship, but recognising what your real relationship truly is…
Is it not wonderful to share this life with others? Or to be inspired by others?
Yet of course we must know all about the risk of co-dependency. It’s like the other expresses that repressed aspect of yourself that seems out of reach or too difficult to fully unleash. Then you might feel you can’t do without them.
For a man, it might be witnessing the divine feminine – the manifestation of his Twin Flame. The risk being that you then can’t find that sweet softness in all life around you – in the fragility of a bird, or the sweet scent of a flower. For a woman, it might be experiencing the power, strength, commitment and motivation of the divine masculine – such a dependable rock upon which it’s so easy to build the foundations of ones life.
But in truth, there is really only one relationship – that is with the divine inside yourself. It’s because there is only one Being in the universe – “the One”, at the core of you.
Yes, “the One” expresses uniquely through streams of consciousness which we call ‘souls’. But a soul is not a being, although it’s easily confused as such, especially where there’s still ego, because the ego only really fully understands identity. That’s why the ego desperately wants to be in a fixed relationship with another – it builds these fixed foundations of security to justify itself – if we’re not careful.
What you are is “the One”, expressing as a stream of consciousness, which renders a constantly updating relativistic expression. Your soul is the living, breathing, magnificent actualisation of “the One” (watch our popular video… What are You?…and how to be that).
So every day, feel the energies emanating from within you, that then flow out into the world through your glorious expressions; BUT, and it’s a big BUT… always then work to bring YOUR energies back inside yourself.
