Levels of
Awakening
Sometime in
midlife between the ages of 35-65, we get a wake-up call that appears to lead us
to the next level of awakening in our life.
Levels of Awakening
- Commitment to "Powerlessness"
- Commitment to "Overcome"
- Commitment to "Responsibility"
- Commitment to "Receiving Love"
Powerlessness is the place of the victim. It involves self-pity,
blaming, no power, low self worth. We don't allow love
in.
Overcoming is when we begin to imagine we can influence our
life. We can make different choices, different decisions. The primary source of
love here is involved in what we do. Love is earned by "what" we
do.
Responsibility is when we understand that all of our life is a
reflection of our inner world. We know that we can heal emotional wounds, change
our beliefs, and choices.
We claim all parts of ourself so they don't
influence us unconsciously. We love more, value more, make more powerful
choices.
Receiving Love is when we learn to love ourselves, we let
others love us, and we experience a connection with our Higher Self. We love and
allow ourselves to be loved for no other reason other than we belong to each
other and the human race.
What level
of awakening resonates with you? If you are ready to move to the next level, a
life coach (the right one) is a great way to get there.
Happy
Father's Day to all the Father's.
Sherman made the terrible discovery
that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was
not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and
had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and,
perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have
something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid
on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life. ~Tom Wolfe, The
Bonfire of the
Vanities
Blooming From Within
