Happy & Harmonious New Year 2016 -Allowing Vunerability to be your way to authenticity







As you  ponder your life experience during 2015 and consider what lies ahead for you on 2016 lets consider the benefits of a commitment to living from an authentic living perspective.

First lets begin with a working definition of authenticity. I selected professor and best selling author Brene Brown to provide us with this understanding.



 
 
Since this definition focuses on choices we make lets consider benefits that would accrue to you by making more enlightened life choices:
 
  • Increased happiness.  Happiness is a result of your dreams and your reality being in alignment.
  • Enhanced self-confidence. When how you think and what you do conform to what is natural for you; belief in self soars.
  • Reduced stress. Stress is the tension between who you are, at your core, and how you act. When your actions are supported by your core values life is sweeter. Live with courage!
Brene is a researcher and focuses on aspects of authenticity; like the power of vulnerability. Here is what Brene has to say about vulnerability.
 
 
 
 
 Please invest some of your valuable time and watch Brene's TED talk video below to increase your awareness of how allowing yourself to be more vulnerable positively impacts your ability to live with authenticity!  
 
 
 


 
 
I hope you discovered benefit in todays post and are encouraged to see clearly that

Living in the land of Make Believe




My friend and fellow seeker; today's post focuses upon the benefits of learning to live in the land of make believe as you did naturally as a child.

What does intuition have to do with aligning with your inner divine and thriving with a child~like perspective?



Learning from within
; how do you effectively engage with this process?


Just how might you tap into your intuition, at will?





Listening within to your intuition; just how do you embrace this idea?




Yes, your soul is your inner~link with the divine! Learning to hear that whisper~soft voice and trust in it's feedback is your task.





Yes throughout recorded time we revisit this notion that the secret to genius lies within your relationship with seeing the world through the eyes of a child.





Your imagination is your creative playground where you turn your intuitive feelings into designs for living. All things created were first active in someone's imagination. 




Our social~conditioning has moved us away from trusting in our intuition and imagination as tools of creation; which they were intended to be by The Creator.

Returning your focus from a conditioned response to your authentic soul~guidance is where your challenge in this life is focused.

Now is your time to address your answer to Rumi's quotation below:





Imagine, for a moment, how you might employ your authentic consciousness mindset of viewing your world though the lens of the innocent child you were at your birth into this life.





Imagine your joy as you live your life from this enlightened perspective?




Now let's enjoy some music, by The Moody Blues, to reinforce this mental move into realignment with our inner~child and the creation tool of Imagination!

Enjoy!!!




Be the creator you are meant to be!!!

Occupy Your Self: Your Personal Spiritual Development .




“One’s real life is often the life that one does not lead.”~ Oscar Wilde

However, the central-core aim of Occupy Yourself is  embracing the model of leading from within!!!

Welcome back, fellow travelers; to our continued search for enlightened awareness of what it takes to truly set yourself free. Yes free from the entrapment of fear-based beliefs that are holding you hostage to a outdated and inaccurate worldview that stiffels your natural inclination toward living with personal authenticity.


That sure was a mouthful. Let's break it down to look at how fear-based beliefs act like placing 2 magnets (with negative or positive polarities in close proximity between the 2 magnets); they repel one another.

In a vibrational universe, such as we live within, harmonious vibrations align and in-harmonious vibrations repel. The thoughts and emotions that are embedded within your personal matrix either magnetize you with your dreams and aspirations or frustrate you with how they appear to move closer and yet seem to remain elusive. You must be in vibrational alignment with the vibration of that which you seek to incorporate into your personal matrix.




"Someone who takes the time to understand their relationship with source, who actively seeks alignment with their broader perspective, who deliberately seeks and finds alignment with who-they-really-are, is more charismatic, more attractive, more effective, and more powerful than a group of millions who have not achieved this alignment."
~Abraham-Hicks

How have you gotten so out of alignment with that which you covet most is a oft-held frustration-point? Here are some of the sources of this disharmony of thought/feeling and what is behind them:
  • You and I and all humans have been awash in social conditioning; from birth through our current time.
  • This social-conditioning by many special interest groups using their money and political leverage to have their ideas and focuses become part of our social compact.
  • Science has demonstrated that fear is the most powerful motivator.
  • First we are exposed to mass consciousness bombarding of fear-based beliefs; things you and I are informed we should be afraid of.
  • Second these beliefs are reinforced through a media whose corporate interest is drawing attention to their brand through reporting focused upon the sensational.
  • Political manipulation is further involved through laws focused upon social manipulation/control. It's for your own good; you are told.
  • Additionally, we are taught to act in a very tribal manner as we are being conditioned to mistrust one another.




“The reflection of the current social paradigm tells us we are largely determined by conditioning and conditions.”   ~Stephen R, Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons of Personal Change 

In our "conditioned" society we are molded away from the natural to artifically induced insights; we move away from self-trust to self-doubt. We move from true fear(those things that may truly hurt us) to artificially-induced fear. 

The fight or flight response is a natural reaction we have when a fear-based dynamic is present. When we are taught to fear someone or something; that same fight or flight response occurs.

Emotionally, we are constantly reacting when one of these artifically induced fears is present. Over time, the body develops stress-based illness; physical and/or emotional.


Aligning with the inner-divine is about learning to listen to and trust your 'inner voice'. Your voice within; your link to divine source energy/God.


We are further encouraged to focus upon duality (our differences)at the expense of the more natural idea of 'oneness' the interconnectedness of all things (What we have in common); by special interest and media groups.


"It's difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you."
 ~Russell Brand 

The mass media, at the behest of special interest groups, is constantly attempting to frame your thoughts and discourse with others. To seperate and divide us into tribal camps with no affinity between them; leading us to arguements and fights which keep our collective focus from the realization of our commonality and mutual interests.

    “All of us who professionally use the mass media are the shapers of society. We can vulgarize that society. We can brutalize it. Or we can help lift it onto a higher level.”
    ~William Bernbach


In the video below, by David Wilcock, lecturer, researcher and filmmaker, he discusses his viewpoint on 'occupy yourself' as a process of spiritual development. Further, he elaborates upon the use of divination tools and meditation to enhance your ability to occupy yourself.

Please relax and take a few minutes to view

David Wilcock Occupy Your Self:

 Personal Spiritual Development


 





I hope you gained awareness of yet another insight relating to the occupy yourself evolutionary impulse; a rising tide of those coming to awareness of our true state of oneness and it's societal implications.

It is my intention here to share with you further information
on two tools David speaks about in his video; divination and meditation.

 

The Divination Tool


"Authentic divination systems passed down by our ancestors are our sacred heritage. From a practical point of view, their ability to provide fresh guidance through the changes of our lives and world is our collective good fortune. They help us satisfy our primordial need to better understand life and our place in the Universe."



For one significant resource for greater insight into the nature and knowledge of divination please visit  Divination Foundation ! Expand your awareness as to this valuable tool for spiritual growth and enhanced alignment with the divine within.

 

The Meditation Tool

As with the tool of divination, now it's time to offer some insight into the tool of meditation.  I can think of no one more able to offer you insight into the practice of meditation than Deepak Chopra.
Even if you are a lifelong meditator; I believe you will find value in checking out the resource of The Chopra Center!


"Meditation is a tool for the re-discovery of the body's own inner intelligence. Practiced for thousands of years, it's not about forcing the mind to be quiet, it's finding the silence that's already there and making it a part of your life. From this field of pure potentiality we get our bursts of inspiration, our most intuitive thoughts, and our deepest sense of connection to the universe."

You have greatness within you; once your dedicated focus is upon occupy yourself, you are encouraging and supporting it's coming out party!

Yet, you and I have choices and each choice has consequences and reveals an aspect of you and me as we move forward from that choice-point.

We can express our inner greatness...





Or we can express the fear were are conditioned with.


 "Those who occupy their minds with small matters, generally become incapable of greatness." ~Francois de la Rochefoucauld



Don't elect to play small by making fear-based choices.

The choice is up to you.   Please choose, using the lens of unconditional love; your gateway to unleashing your inner greatness!

Namaste,
Dave Kenyon
