Myth MAGIC Blissful BOOST: Dr. Strange!

Dr. Strange's Super Heroic Higher Self races out of his Earthly Body to address his spiritual teacher, The Ancient One. She has been mortally injured and pondering her SOUL's Journey on the balcony of the hospital her body is dying in.

DR. STRANGE:  You have to return to your body now. You don't have time!

THE ANCIENT ONE: Time is relative. Your body hasn't even hit he floor yet. (Beat) I've spent so many years peering through time. Looking at this exact moment. But I can't see past it. I've prevented countless terrible futures. And after each one there is always another. And they all lead here. But never further.

DR. STRANGE: You think this is where you die?

THE ANCIENT ONE: You want to know what I see in your future?

DR. STRANGE: (peering down) No. (beat-reluctanly) Yes.

THE ANCIENT ONE: I never saw your future. Only it's possibilities. You have such a capacity for goodness. You've always excelled. Not because you crave success, but because of your fear of failure.

DR. STRANGE: That's what made me a great doctor.

THE ANCIENT ONE:  That's precisely what kept you from greatness. Arrogance and fear still keep you from learning the simplest and most significant lesson of all. 

DR. STRANGE: Which is?

THE ANCIENT ONE: (with a loving glaze) It's not about you! When you first came to me you asked me how I was able to heal Jonathan Pangborn. I didn't. He channels dimensional energy directly into his body. 

DR. STRANGE: He uses MAGIC to walk.

THE ANCIENT ONE: Yes! Constantly. He had a choice to return to his old life or to serve something greater than himself. 

DR. STRANGE: So I could have my hands back again. My old life. 

THE ANCIENT ONE: You could.  And the world would be all the lesser for it! I've hated drawing power from the dark dimension. But as you know, sometimes we have to break the rules to serve the greater good.

DR. STRANGE: Mordo won't see it that way! (Mordo is a fellow sorcerer The Ancient One trained)

THE ANCIENT ONE: Mordo's soul is rigid and unmovable. Forged by the fire of his youth. He needs your flexibility just as you need his strength. Only together do you stand a chance of stopping Dormammu.

DR. STRANGE: I'm not ready.

THE ANCIENT ONE: No one ever is. We don't get to choose our time. (grabs Dr. Strange's hand) Death is what gives life meaning. To know your days are numbered. Your time is short. 


I'm not ready. The famous phrase of "The Reluctant Superhero." It keeps all you reluctant heroes playing on the sidelines of life. Where you THINK it keeps you safe. Tucked silently away in your "Conscious Zone of Comfort." And yet, you came here to UNLEASH your unique set of Super Powers out into the world. So staying confined in a comfort zone slowly eats away at your SOUL's purpose filled intentions. And thus the discomfort and uneasiness you feel about the reason life hasn't turned out the way you had envisioned is caused from the weeping of your SPIRIT'S true essence. Your soul is literally crying out to you, "Wake up! Please, re-member me. Re-member us! We have so much to BE and even more to DO! I still LOVE you. And I KNOW you still LOVE me!" 

You are a Superhero. NOT a victim. You came here to "Happen to life!" Not to have life "Happen to you!" There is absolutely no thing to fear! I have a question to ask all of you New Age Nerds. Who is your best friend? I'll give you some time to think about it while I go re-watch Dr. Strange for the 26th time. lol

Ok, WOWSA, still as good as the very first time I watched it! So, what's your answer; Irene, Danny, Brooke, Michelle?! NOPE! Your best friend is a guy named FRANKIE! Frankie Fear! That's right. Frankie Fear. Now Frankie is always by your side. He NEVER leaves you. He is one loyal SOB. Yes, sometimes he can be a complete pain in your rumpus! But, he shows all the places within you that still need to be cultivated and improved upon. He keeps you alert and on your transcendent toes. He is definitely a "backseat driver" too! Always telling ya' which turn to take. Because he KNOWS something really Gi-normous!  He KNOWS all the experiences, all the places and people you need to face in order to transform the space of being a victim to your life circumstances. Listen to Frankie and he will show you the Yellow Brick Road to your own salvation!  From victim to being VICTORIOUSLY HEROIC! 

And he is actually "the best" at taking directions. His bark is definitely much worse than his bite! Trust me! So don't be afraid to remind him that you're the boss. He'll invariable try and take the wheel if you let him. That's just how he rolls. Frankie is all crusty outer shell, but filled with an ooey gooey center of love filled intentions! Frankie's job is not to scare you. (Except for purposes of extreme life survival- I.E. Our inherent Fight or flight instinct) NO! It's to guide you to the precise experiences that will offer you the constructive FEEDBACK you require to learn, grow, and expand into your Super Heroic Higher Self! Re-member, FAILURE IS AN ILLUSION. It does not exist! Period. Take 1,006 and scene! lol How can The One God Mind fail at anything. Preposterous to even entertain the thought. So, I highly suggest you stop thinking about it right now! Just sayin'. :0)

The next time you feel any resistance about stepping fully into your own Hero's Journey, please re-member this. Your Soul Tribe is still waiting for you. That's right. You may not yet re-member, but you made oh so many souls a promise. One written in the stars with the consciousness of certainty. And every single day that you continue "playing small," your own Soul Tribe is left scratching their head. Still wondering, "Where the hell are you?"
Because they need what was only bestown upon YOU! Your Super Powers are the healing balm they await in order to become fully self actualized versions of their own Super Heroic Higher Selves! So, um, no pressure. But what in the hell are you still waiting on. The Universe already tagged you as being "The One." As is said in The Lord of the Rings, "One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all in and in the darkness bind them." Yeah, no need to ever ask for MY nerd card.  LOL

So take a page out of Dr. Strange's powerful playbook. And start even before you are ready! Because as The Ancient One taught him, "Nobody ever is."

BE SUPER HEROIC!
