Getting Out of Your Own Way

Here we are, all of us, walking around this universe, many thinking we are mere humans and that is that. Well, we aren’t. Just imagine your not having any hunches, intuition, impulses you knew you had to pay attention to at the time… Where do you think these come from? Your Soul, that exquisite place inside of you that knows, that is wise, that is connected to Spirit, even when you aren’t aware of that connection at all. You are more than flesh, you are more than that body you walk around with, you are more than the thoughts (usually the same ones you had yesterday) you have and the beliefs you carry around as if they are “the truth.” Remember the words “You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free?” Well, the Truth that is referred to here is the Truth of your Being, that you are a Spiritual Being that is in form at this moment. When you get that at a deep level, life changes for you in a profound way. You honor your Self, you listen to your Self, you obey what that tiny voice is telling you at any one time. Yes, you finally get out of your own way enough to let your Soul lead the way. It takes getting still, not just once, or once in a while, but every day, for so many distract themselves from hearing their Inner Being and lose their bearings, lose their way, feel lost, rather empty, floating in a sea of discontent. Don’t you be one of those, for it is a huge waste to neglect what your Soul is saying. I wrote a book called “When Hope Can Kill, How Hope Keeps you with the Wrong Person, Reclaim your Soul for the Right Person” for many reasons. One important one, though, was to write a book about how to reclaim your Soul in relationships. That’s where we most likely first stop listening to our own wisdom, our Soul, and start trying to get the attention, the approval, the love from someone else. It continues into adulthood, having started very early in life. The idea that we must “reclaim” our Soul comes from my knowing that you came in with a pure, beautiful, wise Essence. Along the way you gave It away, let It go, stopped listening to It because it seemed to you more important to do whatever it took to get someone’s (usually a parent’s ) love. “Reclaiming” or “Restoring” your Soul is then about placing your Soul back into Its rightful place – at the Center of your Life. When you do that, you, as a person who feels they have to have someone’s love and approval, gets out of the way and your Soul gets to have full say over what you do and when and how. Now that is exciting, enlivening, and empowering.
