We are living in this reality as a fragment of our real being. Throughout our journey through lifetimes we have acquired many energies. These are energies that we have created. They are not our real self. There are areas of our life that are not balanced, areas that cause friction, pain, and keep us from our Higher Self. These energies we have given life to through the ages. Some are very powerful. If we are addicted in some way and we can not break the addiction, this is because we have given it so much energy to this being. Every thought or action is an energy. Fighting against an addiction will only feed it more energy and strengthen it by doing so.
That which we fear or struggle against, we empower or draw to us. They are fragments of ourselves. We need to identify them. We have tried to ignore them for too long and pretending that they do not exist. That does not work, sooner or later they produce a strong emotional response. At times we can feel as if we do not have control of our life. This is true. We will not have control until we integrate these fragments. These fragments make us loose our power and self-confidence because they separate us from our Higher Self or Soul Self.
We create these discordant energies through desires and attachments. If desires are not fulfilled, we have very strong emotional reactions which manifest usually in fear, anger or self judgement. This in turn disempowers us and makes us feel helpless. There are several steps that we can take to take back our power so we may integrate and begin to harmonize with our Soul Self.
Firstly, we must acknowledge the positive qualities or our being. We can do that easily by an attitude of gratitude. Let us become grateful for everything in our life. Let us be grateful for the small things or things we consider insignificant which are really the backbone of our being. Let us appreciate that we have the convenience of fresh water, a roof over our head, and food on the table. It is those things that we have created that give us strength and power. Let us feel an appreciation for the wonderful energy of our mother earth. Let us appreciate our power of love. We can love our children and our pets. We can love our friends and family. We are in a position to express that love because we are not in a survival mode as many people are on this planet. We really and truly have much to be grateful for.
Those discordant energies we have created are only a small part of our being. Any negative feeling we experience is only crying out for attention. Remember that all thoughts create an entity, and all entities seek acknowledgement. That acknowledgement needs to be with love and compassion rather than hate and compulsion. Once we have identified a discordant energy we wish to release, bring it into your heart center and surround it with love and light. Thank it for serving you in the past and that it is now time for it to move on. We have kept these entities hostage within ourselves through negative thoughts. All entities wish to go to the light or source. Now we can set them free with love and light until they are transformed. We may have to do that several times because some are especially empowered. If those entities are not ready to be integrated or still hold some mis qualified energy, they will not enter our forcefield of love/light. Then we know that more work needs to be done.
Self-empowerment begins when we decide to take control of our life. We must become aware that we are responsible for our thoughts, feelings and actions. Empowerment comes when we are willing and courageous enough to release or change those things that bring us pain, sadness or diminishes us. This is not easy and requires us to have a strong desire to release or change that which does not serve our highest good. Everything takes time and empowerment is achieved one small step at a time.
Our whole life, all of our challenges and opportunities are for us to grow and put us on the journey to become our real self. Not our fragmented individuals, but the self that is in harmony with our Soul Self. The Self that is here on earth to experience love, joy and abundance and share that with others. It is our birthright! All challenges are for our growth and understanding, so bless them.
We are created in the image of the Divine and therefore we are cocreators. We must take an active part in creating that which we desire. But only if it is in harmony with our Higher Self and that of any others that are involved. We must become aware that it is easy to create desires that are not for our highest good. Most of those desires come from attachments. If we have a desire, we need to examine it and see if it really serves us. Then we must set our mind to it with the idea that it should serve our highest good and that of all involved. We should not become attached to the outcome. Do our best and leave the rest up to the Divine. If it is meant for us, it will be.
Gratitude, love and light are the tools to release all discordant energies to give us self-empowerment. Once we acknowledge that we have created our life and discordant energies, it is up to us to do the work. Once we start, we will create a life of empowerment and feel in control. We will be able to take back our birthright of love, joy and abundance.
The man dwelling on sense-objects develops attachment for them; from attachment springs up desire, and from unfulfilled desire ensues anger. From anger arises delusion; from delusion, confusion of memory; from confusion of memory, loss of reason; and from loss of reason, one goes to complete ruin. Gita II, 62-63
