460. You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know
What’s seemingly an obvious sentiment may just be the definitive transition from your current state of being to that which is elevated, beyond, and perhaps in a way, “truly” loving and happy.
I think that as humans, we consider ourselves to be automatically “correct”, so to speak. And I can’t tell you how wrong that is. Of course we are authentically loving and beautiful, but within this complex relationship that we have with a physical matrix, we need constant upkeep and care, particularly if we’re looking to continue to evolve. In fact, the more that we elevate our lives, the more “work” is required. But this work is simply a natural extension of our purpose and abundance.
Many people have the expectation that babies are born into this world incredibly perfect and unencumbered by their past lives, environment, genetic line, etc. While it is true that there is a sense of perfectionism in terms of their soul and spirit being more “alive” and to the forefront, ask anyone who has kids, they are all incredibly different. Some are perfectly fine, content and happy, and others struggle to exist or integrate into the physical world. The truth is, no matter how old you are, even immediately born, your energetic body isn’t “perfect”. We come here with goals to achieve, with purposes to accomplish, and contracts to fulfill. Even as children, we acquire broken bones, diseases and suffer tragedies. In other words, age does not guarantee your resilience to problems.
What I think we have trouble understanding is differentiating our perfect, whole and loving spirit with our energetic body, behavior and ego. These are two very different things. And when we have negative, old or stagnant energy to release, it often times comes at the “forefront” of our personalities and behaviors. It’s not really us, it’s what we’re dealing with, and the only way we can grapple with the situation.
This is, of course, ultimately unfortunate, as it tends to lower our vibration and scare others away. In fact, the statement is true that misery loves company. This is why it’s incredibly difficult for those in dire circumstances or a particularly low vibration to move ahead or even start. It can feel impossible. And that impossibility is diluted even more with our moral understanding of good/bad or right and wrong. Bad people are not bad souls, they are just dealing with challenges which they have never faced before, while you’ve mastered them in other lifetimes. If you consider anyone alive, their inherent strengths or core personality traits are valuable, and likely something that others don’t have. It’s just that at this point and place in time, they’re being overrode with processing pain and grief, which is taking up much of their energy, particularly when they need to come up with solutions which aren’t inherently taught to us.
So getting back to the title of tis article, how do we move forward in life when we don’t know what will happen, how we will truly be or feel? What if it’s a failure? What if we give everything we’ve got but it never manifests? The truth is, that’s never true. While it’s true that we may not achieve the exact physical components of our manifestation to a specificity level which goes beyond the scope of equalized manifestation, we can achieve and accomplish the high-level concepts, themes and goals that we set out to do. It just may look slightly different from what we visualized. And if that’s not the case, and you feel that a significant amount of time has passed and there’s no forward motion, there may be a purpose misalignment, or a lack of intention regarding releasing blockages, fears or boundaries.
When we don’t know that we can elevate ourselves to a level of abundance, grace, peace and lac of exhaustion, we almost don’t believe it. When we are born into an environment or family with lack of love, we don’t now what it can feel like. When we weren’t born into a place of safety or security, we don’t know what it can feel like. This can go for almost anything. And is another valid reminder as to how babies and children aren’t energetically perfect, and it’s good to acknowledge that. As this acknowledgment actually supports their overall energetic health, rather than ignorance or negligence.
Point being, if we don’t push ourselves to put us in a place which is wholly unknown, we will never know. Someone doesn’t know what connection feels like until they have it. And getting to it… is a gnarly process. If every single person with problems could magically wake up and accept love… We would solve all the world’s problems. The truth is… on a subconscious level, we all want that, but our conscious selves can’t deal with the fear and the pain, unfortunately.
To risk ourselves is our greatest risk and reward. Our identity, our comfort, and more. But it’s worth it. The best way to tackle this is affirmations and intentions. “I am feeling true love”, “I am feeling connection”, etc. You’ll get there!
