Spiritual Awakening is a process of liberating oneself from a conditioned state of being, into a free state of truthful expression. Liberation! Freedom! Expression of truth! Expressing YOUR truth!
The truth shall set you free.
The truth also hurts. At first. Until you are free. The truth may also hurt others. Stop protecting others, and yourself, from liberation. Stop protecting others, and yourself, from the truth. Only the truth can save you and set you free. Only the truth will do so for others, likewise.
Get out of truths way! Let truth do the work for you! There is nothing more powerful and liberating than the truth.
There are many who feel powerless and trapped. There are many who wonder what they have to do, to manipulate, to control, decisions they make, roads they take, to obtain, to wield, power, and to feel powerful in some way; to free themselves from their circumstances, their fears, and their conditioned state of being.
Stop. Just be truthful. In this moment. With yourself and with others. Express this truth now. You will be free. You will be powerful. You will begin to liberate and empower others.
There is nothing more powerful and liberating than the truth.
You do not have to do anything, but get out of truths way. Take the pressure off of yourself. A simple example is that of the sales man, whether selling an idea or product. If you do not believe in the idea or product, you must sell it! When this happens the pressure is all on you and your performance; the ego is now involved in regards to performance, which results in performance anxiety. On the other hand, if what you are selling is an idea and product that you truly believe in, there is really not much to sell! The crudest example would be trying to sell an old, beat up, and damaged car. As opposed to allowing a shiny new Ferrari, or any other car that you truthfully like, sell itself for you. The truth within you is a shiny new Ferrari. The lie you are living is old and beating you up. You can decide what you want to sell or facilitate. The lie or the truth? You decide this. Which road is ultimately easier? The lie? Or the truth which speaks for itself? You being nothing more than a facilitator of this truth. Let go of the lie and let the truth do all the work for you. No performance anxiety or judgement. The truth is the truth. HOW LIBERATING!
Just be a facilitator of truth. Let truth do all of the work for you. There is nothing more powerful and liberating than the truth.
When we are not living our truth, life becomes more difficult. We are in a constant power struggle to perform, to outperform others, in order to believe in, deny, or sell a lie, to others and ourselves. Living a lie is emotionally and physically exhausting! When we are living our truth, facilitating this truth, the truth does the work for us. There is no power struggle because we are not controlling or manipulating anything, just free flowing and letting truth do the work for us. There is nothing more powerful and liberating than the truth!
The same can be said in regard to our interactions and relationships with others. The fear of hurting others, is what often keeps individuals trapped in their circumstances and conditioned state of being. Trapped in a lie. The truth is, you are keeping yourself as well as those you think you are protecting, trapped in a lie. You are protecting yourself and others from the liberating power of truth.
Don’t be scared. You are never doing anything wrong, or truly hurting anyone or anything by being truthful, rather, you are letting the truth of self, life, and God flow through you, to do the work that is intended to heal and evolve us all, as painful as this may be. We only take part in hurting ourselves and others by denying truth, and allowing deception and untruth to halt the process of liberation, spiritual growth, and empowerment. This leads to resentment, anger, low self esteem, and low self worth for all involved.
The truth is self love. The truth is love for others. The truth is self empowerment. The truth is empowerment of others. The truth is liberation. The truth is liberation of others. You are the truth. When this truth is expressed, you will be free and powerful. When this truth is expressed, you will truly love yourself.
