We are so caught up in attachment to results and our insecurity about what is happening that we are blocking ourselves. I wish I could get you to see that you are the one blocking yourself. Despite what it may look like, no one else is blocking you. If you would just be with whatever seems to be blocking you, you would realize that it is just an illusion and really doesn’t exist.
Observe the block until it comes into harmony inside you. Release and disperse what is no longer part of you. What’s left? The Soul, you.
– John-Roger with Paul Kaye (From: What’s It Like Being You?, p. 98)
It is very important to take full responsibility for what comes out of the true self as you write it down. If, while writing, you become anxious or judgmental or if you start to second-guess yourself, it
is a sign that you have moved back into the false self and your egopersonality is again in the driver’s seat. Repeat the exercise, this time going deeper with your issue or challenge. Remember that everything can be used for learning and personal growth and to uplift yourself and others.
Before you act on anything from your true self, it is of prime importance that you check it out. The true self will not direct you to do anything that would in any way hurt yourself or another.
The true self’s nature is loving, so check the information you hear, perceive, or intuit from your true self against the guideline that what you act on must be supportive and loving towards yourself
and others.
As you dwell in the true self, consider the possibility that you are already the patient, loving, joyous person you have been looking for.
Do your thoughts support the direction or intention of your life?
Do they support moving into completeness, into joy, humor, and fulfillment?
Rather than saying, “I need that chocolate cake, I need that car, I need that dress, I need that house,”
move into the true essence inside you,
the truly aligned direction of your life.
Then all those other material things can appear as a by-product, not as a focus.
One of the first steps into that true essence is to be silent.
In silence, intuition kicks in,
and we find that God is our source.
This is not the God of a little ego-personality approach,
but the real God, the very thing that you are.
