This month I really didn’t know where I wanted to go with my Blog nor my
interview on Apr 25th with Tom
Campbell. However I had a few areas that were showing up within my readings
with different authors who’s interviews are coming up (like Paul Selig – should be a fabulous interview
in June) and from my interactions with some of my followers. So I had my
interview with Tom and things really flowed during our interview around ‘happiness’
and ‘conscious relationships’.
The issues that were arising were around our relationships and how we
continue to justify our fears by looking at the ‘other’ instead of
understanding that we are responsible for everything that happens in our lives.
We continue to worry, get angry, and justify our reactions because of someone
else. It isn’t easy to authentically see that our ‘unhappiness’ is not because
of someone else but because we have a fear that makes us feel insecure,
unheard, insignificant or abandoned. It appears clear to us that these people
or things that happen are why we are unhappy and we don’t remember that every
event is really an opportunity for our own growth. Every time we have a
negative response (or even a positive response) we are adding to our story of
our lives. We are creating the definition that we have actualized as our
identity. We want to blame our unhappiness on someone or something or believe
we will only be happy when we can ensure that everyone else is doing what we
need them to do. So we justify feeling unhappy because someone or thing has
made us unhappy.
If we knew that the Larger Consciousness System (Tom’s wording for Higher
Consciousness) is here to help us to grow. If we knew that everything has a
purpose in our lives to help us grow towards ‘love’ then is it possible to
allow all of these experiences to be ‘seen’ as opportunities to let go of our
fears? And these experiences are also to acknowledge that no matter what
happens the other person is truly being the ‘best’ they can BE and that they
are not doing something to hurt us or create anxiety or pain in our lives.
Rather it is our own perceptions that create the pain and unhappiness in our
lives. It is our own Ego that needs to justify these experiences because it needs
to be ‘right’ instead of happy.
We are ‘infinite Divine Beings’ that are having a human experience to Evolve
our Consciousness towards Love. We grow when we are ‘relating with others’
and it is only when we can let go of this need to blame or accept the ‘story’
of our lives as a victim can we truly step out of our patterns of fear being
perceived by us. If we truly desire to ‘grow up’ and get out of the pain and
unhappiness we have established as who we are then we have to begin accepting
unconditionally that the pain and unhappiness isn’t coming from events or
others but from our own fears within; our own beliefs and our own story of who
we believe we are!
We have just forgotten who we are. We aren’t our fears. We aren’t this ego
identity that we ‘believe’ is who we are. We are not just a child, parent,
spouse, an education or an occupation etc. that we think about when someone
asks us who we are or what we do. We are a ‘Divine Being’ who has chosen to
incarnate as a Human Being to evolve towards love. We are not separate yet we
have individuated consciousness to ‘Remember’ who we are and to choose to
expand our consciousness towards unconditional acceptance and love of Self and
‘others’. We are more than our experiences and our fears.
Our relationships are our mirrors to understand our own consciousness. We
are allowing our stories to trigger and dictate our unhappiness and add this
unhappiness to our story with all the “what’s and why’s” that the ‘other’
person does to hurt us, instead of working on changing OUR story and changing
our fears that create our story and unhappiness.
Instead we focus on each situation as a separate event that continues to
justify our ‘story’: reappearing as a pattern. This belief we hold about who we
are is just a fabrication that confirms our fears. Let me give an example: a
person we have a relationship with says something that triggers us, out of
their own fear they say something that makes us believe they are betraying us,
abandoning us or alluding to the fact that we aren’t significant enough to…
(you fill in the blank). It may be a fear that someone isn’t being honest and
upfront with you, or maybe someone is appearing aloof and distant, like they
don’t care. The ‘mirror’ we are meant to understand is that this is ‘our’ fear
and we haven’t shifted it if we can still justify BEing unhappy or blaming
another. We instead just take this experience and add it to our ever increasing
‘story’ of who we believe we are.
So how does this relate to ‘Happiness’? Well, like everything in this life,
we tend to focus on what we don’t want instead of BEing happy inside or
allowing our Divine Essence to express itself, we are allowing our fears to
continue to dictate our story; our unhappiness. We can’t seek ‘happiness’, it
has to BEcome our intention to Evolve towards Love. It is only through our
intention to grow that we will uncover that our ‘happiness’ has been here all
along. We have the ‘choice’ to examine our fears and accept these fears as
opportunities to mature and BEcome the Love that we already are. Our
‘happiness’ isn’t something that is ‘out’ there, but it is who we are as Divine
Beings.
Learning through our relationships: having conscious experiences when our
fears present themselves are the only way we can experience conscious
relationships, experience Love and remember who we are. I don’t know about you,
but I’m ready to BE happy and have conscious relationships. I’m finding it
increasingly difficult to NOT see the Divine within and experiencing more
compassion and acceptance (even when I have epic failures) with mySelf. Let’s
choose to initiate these changes by remembering who we are; Divine Beings
having a human experience.
