Today I would like to introduce all you New Age Nerds to a conceptual construct that has truly transformed not only my coaching practice, but also all my personal relationships. This tool has permanently shifted my life's perspective back toward's SELF LOVE. It has also deepened my connection and understanding of true forgiveness towards the entire population on this planet! I call this concept Tapping Into Inner Innocence.
My own childhood was fraught with fear, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of self judgement. After my birthfather abandoned our family in Southern California when I was 3, my mother was left without money or the support system of her large family. So she moved us across the country to the greater Washington, D.C. area. The entire ordeal took quite a terrible toll on her own young (she was just 24) emotional psyche. And so my sister and I were often left in the care of some individuals with less than loving ideals. It got to the extreme of me being told that my father's leaving was all 'my fault,' and my mother would leave the family too if we ever told anyone of their dastardly deeds. As you might imagine, the brunt force of these experiences carved a deep, traumatic wound within my entire being.
I became an extreme introvert, (hard to believe that now) and kept all my emotions hidden better than a 'Where's Waldo' book. My sense of SELF was very low indeed. And I ate daily sandwiches of extreme self judgement and loathing. Pretty much the perfect recipe for dysfunctional behavioral patterns in all areas of my life. Especially in the dating department. If she NEEDS me, she'll never LEAVE me was my mantra. Ask how that worked for me.....? Not so much! ;0)
It's no wonder the second I got the opportunity, I moved back to Los Angeles. There was something in my inner knowingness since that very young age solidifying my desire in returning to the "scene of the crimes." To heal your wounds you must first face them. And my Super Power of emotional intelligence informed me of this truth ever since I can recall. Thank you Universe for granting me the stewardship of this form of energy in action. It's been a soulful life saver!
My ten year jaunt in LA was where my spiritual transformation really took off. Nearly 30 years ago, the Left Coast was much more progressive in its acceptance of spiritual modalities than the DC area. And I took full advantage of its welcoming spiritual nature. And during my Superhero's Journey while there, I came across a different understanding behind the true meaning of FORGIVENESS. A core transformational shift in its radical power once adhered to from this more transcendent nature. One that is now a pillar that anchors my entire spiritual paradigm for living a deeply authentic and purposeful life. And things have never been the same since.
The long held, standard practice of teaching FORGIVENESS, relies on the principality of separation. As though YOU and I are two separate beings. When in truth, separation is a fallacy. FOR WE ARE ALL ONE! Any experience of separation is simply our ego in play. Its very job is to keep us feeling separate and disconnected from one another. And even more damaging, holding us back from experiencing our ONENESS with the Universe. Thus we are often taught that forgiveness is a form of pardoning ourselves or another from a perceived 'wrong doing.' It's the ultimate form of judgement if used under that pretense.
For once you relinquish the ego's hold over the dominion of your beingness, you become realigned with the power and understanding of TRUE PERCEPTION. The remembrance that everything and everyone in our life's experience is part of the One God Mind. You see yourself in all others. The SELF becomes fully realized as the great I AM. You begin to live and experience life from the space of your Super Heroic Higher Self. And once again, you become your brother's and sister's keeper. Suddenly, the manner in which you wield the power of FORGIVENESS is forever transformed.
As it so eloquently states in the book God I Am, "This is what is meant by remembering God, or the truth, for one's brother. He gives his brother's separation away, therefore he forgives! This is the true and only meaning of forgiveness. Forgiveness, as it is commonly seen, first establishes guilt and then pardons it. Again, perverted truth, twisted by the Ego's Law of Reversal. Now true perception has the exact same effect, although it is still a step away from Oneness. It is still cognizant of separation, but is no more part of it. It stands apart from the dream. It recognizes separation for what it is: only error, NOT sin - therefore it cannot see guilt whatsoever. Not seeing guilt, it only sees innocence. This is True Perception's way of giving away, of forgiving separation. This is where the miracle comes in to heal."
And what a powerfully disruptive healing process the true nature of forgiveness becomes in our lives. It is the most effective manner of tapping into your INNER INNOCENCE. A realm where judgement in any form vanquishes back behind its illusionary veil. And we stay steadfast in the moment of NOW. A state of spiritual enlightenment. Fully connected to SOURCE. And in our brother we see a reflection of our SELF. And all of our co-creations become joy filled opportunities for-giving him/her back to themselves. Assisting them in awakening from their slumber so they re-member who they truly are. Their authentic SELVES. What a wonderful world..........................
Our INNER INNOCENCE knows not any form of condemnation. It seeks only to reunite. To see ourselves and others in pure divinity. It showers us in LOVE BUCKETS. It sees nothing but pure potentiality with 20/20 vision. What the EGO hoards, it gives away freely and without expectation. It assists us in understanding the gifts behind our former false beliefs. By showing what we assume are wrong doings, actually light a path toward the places within us where healing LOVE and LIGHT can still be applied.
The most deep seeded form of healing comes through the use of our INNER INNOCENCE. For it allows us to be freed from any misconceptions of separation. Instead of staying in victim consciousness, we begin to build a solid foundation of courage and confidence. Rather than living in fear of what LIFE MIGHT DO TO YOU, this- now SELF realized you- starts to happen to life!
And I now use this tool every single day. It has shown me the true path toward forgiveness. Any individuals and their 'wrong doings' toward me have been shifted back from anger and judgement toward LOVE. Through this revelatory paradigm, many of my wounds have healed. I receive all my fellow brothers and sisters through the eyes of ONENESS. And am once again free to inhale their individual brilliance in all its forms. I seek only to unite. And awaken others to the same TRUTH..............
SUPERHEROES IN TRAINING TAKEAWAYS
Start incorporating the process of tapping into your INNER INNOCENCE immediately!
Like everything else it is a process that must be nurtured. One terrific place to start is by remembering that you cannot make a mistake! Life is not a test. Everything in your experience is an opportunity to learn and grow. You are something akin to a Spirit based scientist and life is the palette from which you experiment. If something doesn't 'work out' simply learn the lesson and try again. Transcend the catabolic energy that infuses the term 'mistake' with that of a misstep. Which is totally innocent in nature. BIG DIFFERENCE! A misstep has the same vibrational resonance as Guilt. And guilt is a terrific teacher. It's job is to show us the feeling attached to making a misstep. And so we become much more eager to readjust and realign our actions the next go around. A mistake holds the same vibrational essence of shame. When we feel that we are whatever it is that we have done. Shame is incredibly nasty and becoming an epidemic on this planet. The habit of shaming builds on fear, hate, and self loathing.
Another suggestion is to practice the art of receiving others in the NOW. Without any preconceived notions based on their past behavior. Practice seeing and honoring them as utterly innocent in nature. Doing the very best they know how. You will be amazed with the transformation in all your relationships when you stop holding people lock downed within "the box" of their former selves.
Please stop with the notion that 'people don't change.' When you choose to see only the magnificence in a fellow Spirit, you are creating a loving, safe space for both sides to continue to grow and learn. And more often than not, this co-creative process will birth the greatest version of who they really are. Right before your very eyes. Try it. You'll LOVE it! I promise!
INNER INNOCENCE has the ability to transcend limitations without fear of judgment. It gives you the tenacity to tackle bigger goals and manifest MAGIC. It holds your space in every NOW moment. Where abundance in the form of creativity, courage, and confidence flows freely like an 'All You Can Drink' service station. So pony on up and order a few of its Cosmic Cocktails. Happy hour is on the Universe!
BE SUPER HEROIC!
