Compassion With Self and The Power of Mistakes

 
-->

You can do no wrong. You are always only learning and growing. That’s what it’s all about, lessons and growth.  Nothing is ever ‘wrong’.  It is only an interpretation. When you release yourself from this way of seeing you are able to fall into the art of appreciation and envelop great compassion, for you begin to see life as a journey, not as an undertaking, and you can nestle into the safety of no longer being fearful of making a mistake.

Do you see how this would take you higher, would take you under the wave when it is riding too high for you to entrust it to take you to the shore? Do you see how this would allow you to move forward, in all circumstances, rather than being paralyzed by the fear of defeat?  Trust it then, this law of order that allows for you to be constantly becoming, this law that takes you to the next place, that is derived from the constant shifts and the ebb and flow of evolution. Change is the game. It is what IS. But one thing must remain constant. And the consistency can become your state (of mind).

Change is our keeper, and within it lies what is safe, for no thing can exist without evolving. To be alive is to seek growth, to allow for it, to thrive on it, to let it shift you and make you complete. An absence of growth is certain death. Life seeks change and knows that it is equivalent to order. You must follow after it’s proddings or suffer the cost of resistance which is always suffering and pain.

Have compassion for yourself through your journey.  Be your biggest support system, your most powerful ally, your most attentive and enthusiastic cheerleader and you will find that your confidence in you and your faith in bringing your dreams to reality will begin to expand.

Recognize all of the good, all of the wonderful you are making, all of the wonderful that you Are.  And restore your faith in your vision of the future as  you unlock your hidden potential by allowing it to come forth in its own way, on its own time, falling tripping and stumbling ever so preciously on.

Like a toddler who is learning to speak, like a small child who is trying something for the first time, you are ‘trying’ and ‘learning’ something new as you re-awaken, as you are ‘remembering’ your Truth.

And as proud parents, we try to capture those moments, those milestones, and savor them within our hearts.  Be that loving appreciation of you as you move into newness.  Be that compassion that guides and encourages you forward and let go of needing to condemn or criticize your self (or another) for making a mistake.

Mistakes are real, but in a completely different sense. Mis-takes are chances to do over because in the moments where we have made choices that have led us ‘astray’ we are given the chance to re-take or to re-interpret the situation so that we can see it from a higher-vision state.  In other words, our perception of the situation, or our ‘take’ on it, is out of alignment with our highest self.  And in every moment we are given the chance and many opportunities to adjust our ‘view’, to re-adjust our thinking, as a child re-adjusts his footing as he learns to walk and continues to move forward. As an artist adjusts the hues of his pain in order to create the vision within his imagination so that he can better represent the message of his soul as he brings it forward.  It is this tuning into and continually retuning and turning into our selves that we are found and our truest expressions of self are then born.

And it is in the process of learning to walk that a child becomes acquainted with his Self. It is in these times of learning that he discovers who he Is, what he’s made of.  And in that knowing, in that trusting of himself, he gains the confidence that he’s got what it takes to proceed.  And in that process, he becomes more in touch with his determination and with his strength and learns to push on, and to continue to rediscover just how he needs to move in order to accomplish his motive and succeed.

And it is in the discovery process of creating that an artist learns to Feel into his vision, to connect further and deeper with his higher self, with the part of him that is directing the shape of the art.

An artist must listen closely to what his soul is spelling, to its whispers, and to the aspects of the art, of the creation he is meant to bring to life.  And as he tunes into the channel of information that guides him, as he relaxes into the musings of his soul with abandon, leaving behind the fear of making a mistake, knowing that he can trust in his guidance, he becomes One with the art he creates.

And it is so with all of us on out journeys, as we find our way and follow our own footsteps back to ourselves. We fulfill our potential with each step we make, and with each step we create.

Do not fear that any step could possibly be a mistake, for it will restrict your process and inhibit your ability to create.  It will stop you cold if you let it, and can deaden you, as well as deafen you, to the guidance in which you will find the strength and support that you seek.

An artist creates from his heart.  And when he allows himself to fold into that space that is sometimes hidden or elusive, to loose himself in the making, in the process of creating, he is taken to the sacred space of his Truth.

Truth knows not right from wrong. It is not linear.  It is not based on the concept of right or wrong. It is grounded in soul-ness. And the soul knows only that which is love. Truth cannot be changed, it simply is and that is why it is referred to as your center because it always is what it is and always will be.

In the process of creating, you connect with your self, with your truth, because you are a creator, so you are coming back to your center, your core, and nothing feels more peaceful or more powerful than residing in that place.  That is why the art of creating is considered a spiritual practice.  It resigns us to surrender to that space, to the Creator, to the essence of our soul.

Go there.  Go there often.  And remember what it is like to be there, to feel there.  Remember what it means to be in that space.  And as you become more familiar, you become more and more able to bring that vibration out into your life on all occasions.  And the more you do, the more you are able to stabilize it and become grounded in that state, the more you begin to realize that it is not only for the ‘artist’ per se to experience this divine connection, it is for all of us.  For all of life and every experience is your canvas.  And every creation, every word, every intention, every thought that you choose, every endeavor, can be experienced through the spirit of who you are.  And everything becomes that much more sacred as you remember that life is the art that you create.

Fight the urge to become the victim, of your critical self-talk, of your circumstances.  Be the hero, the one who saves you and whisks you away on the gallant white horse.  Ride off into the sunset of your ‘happily ever after’ on the wings of love, because you saving you from the throes of your mind, from the fear of making mistakes is an act of greatness and most definitely one of the highest gestures of love you can make.

Your most profound work of art in this life could very well be the product of your greatest 'mistake'. So don't take it all so seriously, because you never know the biggest picture of what is evolving and you will evolve much more peacefully when you are able to step back and allow for the process without the need for judgement and with the grace to unfold at your own pace. Your process is your own, completely unique to you, and it is as sacred as each step you make. Be gentle with you as you learn to walk again, as you remember how to paint. You are the artist, continually recreating yourself.  And every great artist knows that art a 'mistake' is only the birth of a chance to recreate.

Create with wonder. Create with joy. And remember that you are the beauty you wish to bring to your canvas, your life, it is through reconnecting with your spirit that you remember the art of what it means to create.

Blessed love and miracles on the horizon!

Loving you and loving all of your mistakes,

~Rhonda

Rising With the Fog; Aligning with Our Potential

 

As the fog begins to lift, we can see more clearly into the reality that is to come.  And when we look upon this horizon, it will show is which way it is that we need to go.  It will show us that all of our efforts have not been in vein and that our dreams are not merely just dreams and that our visions are not illusions, but they are reachable now, touchable, they are right there, they are no longer on the horizon.  And though it may feel that you are still having to reach a bit, in order to touch them, in order to make them tangible, that is on purpose, for we are meant to reach and stretch so that we as humans, as spirits, can continue to grow and continue to evolve into our highest purpose.

And in the moments when you cannot see beyond the fog, when it is thick and surrounds you, when you feel that it will never fade, sink in.  Sink into the mystery and the majesty of the veil.  The black and white does bind you as that way of vision restricts you from seeing the entire picture. It is in the grey that we begin to see the better picture and it is in the grey that many insights will come.  Do not allow yourself to be taken by the doubts and fears that seek your attention in the times between where you’ve been and where you are going. (And you ARE going, believe that!) Allow for expansion in the holding place, for that’s what the middle ground is for.

You will be given many opportunities within the period of the now, within the space between, and you can use this space and time to delve into the reality of who you are.  This time gives you a chance to get to know your strengths and to get to know your weaknesses. It is a time for evaluation as you delve deeper into who you really are and embrace every aspect so that All of you can move forward in sync and with strength into your highest potential. Pay attention to the indicators, to the happenings around you and notice what they have to teach you. Always direct it back onto you, onto how you can better advance the situation, further grow into how you long to be, or the reminders of what you are meant to be focused on. Pay attention, but not only to what is going on around you, but more so what is going on within. How do you feel about your interactions, How do you feel about your circumstances, and what can you do to create better outcomes so that old patterns don't continue to take over? Who are you now, who have you been, and who do you aspire to be? Change, or even the thought of it can be scary, but when we sink into our fears and doubts and get to know them, get to know the driving forces that hold us down, we can begin to learn more about what ihibits us and why.  And through that we can see what it is we need to learn and where we need to grow.

How do you envision you in the future, in the next now? How do you see yourself radiating within your highest potential.  Who is the person that is living your dreams and accomplishing all of your goals? Go into detail as you explore. What does this Higher You look like? How do they (You) act? What qualities make them who they are and enable them to live a life of grace and ease and the divine power of potential? You can begin to hoan these qualities and try them on for size so that you are molded into the Real Time You by visualizing and feeling into the energy of already being there. Take time to sit with this aspect of you, the one who is content and fulfilled, the one who sees from a higher ground, the one who is focused and grounded and happy.  See this You and feel into it. The feeling aspect of this is so important.  In order to Believe it, you have to feel it. It is only then that you know that it is possible.

Much of this time is about shifting out of our old beliefs and into the possibilities of our potential. What you Believe in matters.  Deeply.  Do not give over your visions to someone else’s version of you, in doing that you give away your power.  For in order to be master of your life, to be captain of your ship, you have to take command, which, in turn, means that you have to take control of what you will allow in your life and what you, in so choosing for your highest good, decide to surrender.

Control is something that you must release as well as step into. We are used to wanting and trying to control others and to manipulate and monopolize our outcomes and our future. This is the control we must let the Higher Source Higher Self take over. We hold on so tight to wanting things to be a certain way, to believing that in order to be happy or safe our outer world must be in line with the conjured definition of what it looks like in our minds. We put all of our eggs in that basket, forsaking our health, forsaking our sanity, forsaking our wisdom, forsaking what matters. To believe in this mentality, that the world and others must conform to our standards, is what creates havoc in our lives because our focus remains on things that we cannot change, things that ultimately, we need to learn to let go of. No matter how much you try to mind-warp or manipulate another, ultimately they will remain the same, as will your surroundings as long as you continue to believe that it must change in order to create the makings of your dream reality.

What must change is you, or at least your perception of how things work and what is important. When you understand that putting all of your eggs in the basket of false pretenses is equivalent to giving away your power and diminishes your ability to create in the way of spirit, in the way that you were intended, when you Know, on a deeper level (and really once you have only begun to appreciate the concept) that you create your reality, that you move into Your World, the one you envision, by becoming it, by radiating it, by believing that it is so, you will begin to loosen your grip on what lies beyond and sink further into the ‘feel good’ the higher potential, the core and the truth of who you are which is always, and only could be, pure potentiality and endless possibility simply waiting to unfold.

What you must learn to control is more of a form of discipline. You have to retrain yourself to refocus, to zero in, on what is most important, and ultimately what’s most important is the desire to be whole and be free, to be Love. We can attain that as we not only live from that higher place, that higher self, but begin to take on the attributes that make that higher self so and live on purpose.

If your higher self has strength as a virtue, what can you do to strengthen yourself and draw to you more of the attributes of that aspect of your higher version? Taking on the overseeing and care-taking of the four selves is essential. Is it exercise that will strengthen your body and give you the energy and vitality to stretch and grow, to reach for those dreams and move forward? Is it mindfulness that will strengthen your mind so that you begin using the muscles of observation (watching you and life from a detached perspective), and understanding the tools to surrender?  Is it community or solitude, or perhaps a mix of both that will strengthen your spirit?  Do you need to create a bigger support system or be nourished more by the space of alone time? And your personality, your ego, your self that you most often identify with on so many levels, it needs food too to grow too, to get on board with your vision. Listen to its urgings and let it take you in the direction of what will satiate it. Quenching  this part of you puts out many of the fires that arise through otherwise over ambitious fears that want to take over.

We have to feed the seeds of our dreams and nourish all parts of our selves and our soul in order to reach our potential.

Begin to moderate your life, your time, your mind, and run your life like you would a corporation. If you were CEO of Y.O.U., what would your ‘company’ or ‘business’ turn into? What would it look like? How would it run, what would need to happen, to be transformed, or dealt with in order for your vision of your greatest life to happen?

Use the time when you cannot quite see so clearly but are beginning to glimpse the beyond to feel into you, to really get acquainted. The Soul knows.  It will guide you.  But in order to listen, in order to be led, we must familiarize ourselves with our many voices, quiet our fears by sinking into them, rise to the sky by morphing into the One that we wish to be, and  remember to turn into this vision over and over again until it overrides the patterns of turning outward. 

Don't allow your fears to measure your foundation. You are far more than you believe and your are so much more than a product of your outcomes. Go beyond where you've been, push against all known boundaries, and create a few more healthy ones in the process. You are not alone in this quest, and at no time is it out of the question or inappropriate to ask for guidance. Ask for assistance, ask for what you need and for the ability to go beyond whatever keeps turning you backwards. The Law of One is in effect and the Law of One inherits harmony. The law of this Oneness reminds us that there is, and never will be/has been any separation. It is not a one-man-show.  This is not each-one-for-themselves. This is eternity happening and within eternity everyone gets what they truly desire to happen. The Universe cannot differentiate between what you desire and what you believe, it weighs on what you hold fast to.  Believe that you are being assisted.  Believe that all that is happening is for the good of the whole and you will no longer have to hold on so tightly to all of your outcomes.

Let the mystery of the unknown entice you.  It holds all potential, all possibility. Become excited about what is ‘out there’ within the realm of what could be, within the realm of what is already happening.  Feel into the enthusiasm of receiving and let that shape you into the open vessel that has plenty of room to hold all that lies within your imagination.  And when you want to try so hard to make things happen,  refocus all of that energy and that might into redirecting your wandering mind and creating an atmosphere that is conducive to the dreams you desire.

This is prep time. This is a time of preparing for what you want to come in, to come on line for you, for unzipping so that you can be accountable for your agenda. Your energy must match frequencies with what you wish to achieve, what you wish to be, with what you wish to transpire in your reality.  And your energy, your vibration, is your responsibility and the place to continually re-shift your focus.  Live form that place, from the Highest version of you, from the place of you after all of the everything you desire has happened. The fog is the place where you can strengthen the muscles of your soul to withstand the distractions and redirect your focus inward so that all of your inward desires can that much sooner turn outward.

Be strong for you. Be strengthened. Live from the joy place that you wish to achieve, and allow all that is happening to grow you into the next level of your happening.

Much love and grace along the way!

With purist intentions and up-graded standards we move forward.

May many blessings of light fill your soul,

~Rhonda

Renewal

To all of you beautiful souls out there who have been following and are still following my musings and blog, I would like to thank you for journeying with me and for the beauty of the souls that you are. I have been on a journey all its own lately and hope to return shortly.  Life has its way of detours and many new twists and turns, but faith inherits the knowing that all of life's quests, planned or unintended, lead us exactly to the place we need to and are meant to be.  And each and every one of those experiences shape us into the reminder of who we truly are, and really, at the core, always have been. 

I toast the whirlwinds of experience and the places they take us that we might otherwise have never known.  And I applaud the brave souls who choose to see beyond the fears of what any experience may provoke and into the eyes of their sacred souls as they are stretched and prodded to grow alongside the ever-changing universe as it evolves in its own right.  It takes courage and strength to Become the All that we Are, to grow into it, and over-ride the urge to remain the same for the sake of comfort and the sureness of what is known.  And it takes faith; faith in the unknown-that it will lead you into the most inspired terrain; faith in you to walk the mountains and the valleys and swim the seas; and faith in a force far bigger than you (that is you) to pick up the pieces and guide you along the way.

And that is what Conscious Co-Creating is all about.  It's about becoming aware of the freedom inherent in knowing that we, in our confined state, in our made-small state, cannot do it alone.  For we are not alone.  We are One.  And when we open to that Oneness, to the Truth, we are propelled into an evolutionary state of purpose and power, the kind of power that comes from rising beyond the troubles and the suffering that ensue when we are attempting to do it all on our own. We are not alone. We are not separate. And letting go, forgiving, forgetting our separateness unites us with the wholeness that we desire.

Faith and imagination are, by far, your most powerful tools.  They will take you places far beyond where you've been or where you've allowed yourself to go.  And though you cannot touch them, they are anything but illusory.  They are anchors and cornerstones and the propellers that restore the insight of your intuition and the visions you came to 'make real'. 

Step forward, if only in your mind, leaning on the spirit of Belief and the creativity of the child within.  Paint your world, live life as art, in abandon, and allow for every step, every breath, to be a prayer. The art of living is breathing into your experience, into your potential, and allowing the rest to unfold. Allowing it to be untold, until the next moment, or when it arrives, and settling into the presence of what your Is is. No matter what is shifting or changing or in chaos within or around you, when you Know yourself as an anchor, nothing can rock your boat. Be still, dear ones, and let the strength come through you to be who you came to be, to do what you're called to do, to live your life on fire, in the way that only you can because there's no other you. And have faith in the knowing that everything is exactly as it needs to be, always, and that your stillness will guide you farther than your busied mind, and your love of self is more sacred than any other reward that you seek.



This is the longest vacation I have taken from Conscious Co-Creating since its birth, as my awareness and creativity have taken me elsewhere, as I have been restored and renewed.  I have found that when I am 'off-line' for a while and not channeling or receiving those guided messages to deliver via the written form that my guide source is changing, sort of like tuning the channel on the radio, and when the time is right, I will be plugged into the next best most aligned guide post that will then be delivered to you.
So stay tuned, I sense I'll be coming back on line soon, with new guidance and musings to assist you in aligning to the highest you. I welcome any questions or comments about what you may be experiencing at this time, on this leg of your trip, and any inquiries or suggestions you may wish me to post about regarding the transitions and tail winds we're all riding upon.

All the best to you sweet ones!

Feel free to contact me at Awakeningthedivine.net   and see what's new or you're welcome to leave your message here.
I look forward to connecting with you.

Blessings of light,
~Rhonda
