How many of us truly follow our desires?
I'm in a blessed position to do what I absolutely adore for a living, I get to talk to people and then help them. It's official; I wear my heart in my sleeve.
I used to give my heart away, instead of sharing it. It felt good when someone accepted the heart. But when it was rejected; BOY! I could have plummeted into depression because I KNEW that I was worth nothing.
I love to observe social conditioning. Here in Ireland the church (yes, lower case and in case you were wondering, catholic) has still been in power, conforming people up until very recently. Coming from a country of mainly Lutheran religion; priests are normal men and women, growing up, marrying, having kids and divorcing; I've found it fascinating to see how the conformation (funny that that's the actual word that the church uses) is being carried out.
I find it hilarious when people say to me; "God Bless" when they leave my premises or when I say; "see you tomorrow" they respond: "God willing". What if you were an atheist. Now; I'm probably one of the most spiritual people anyone knows, but church; conformation/confirmation; NO THANK YOU.
The decades and the generations of social conditioning has brought us to a society which is no longer naturally satisfactory. We need stimulants like coffee (and cocaine) to get going and relaxants like a glass of wine (or a joint) to chill. When I recently visited a pub in Shankill, the thought occurred to me that we may as well have been in an opium tent in Afganistan. What's the difference? (And please try to come up with something less conforming than "it's against the law".
The divine feminine says: "Follow your feel, and you can never go wrong." Even though we may be conditioned to do something, like "go on a piss" (in Ireland it means get twisted/hammered/drunk) this may very well at that particular time be the path of least resistance. Making yourself wrong by denying yourself the only way to connecting to yourself just because "I shouldn't" is hardly self loving and accepting (which indecently are the first steps into exploring your divinity) can only bring you down.
Making yourself right by feeling around the issue in-hand and seeing what the best feeling option is and then going ahead and doing/being that can only increase the self-worth and connectedness which may have been lost due to social conditioning.
God ( ;P ) bless our parents for doing the very best they could have in the circumstances. They did the best they knew how to and we'll (all of us) have to trust that that's still the best thing for everyone.
Over 3 years ago I started to question everything. It's been the most eye-opening experience of my life.
I'd like to encourage you to challenge everything you've been taught. See what feels right and then commit to that option. It's exactly the same in human relationships. Just because some thing is already there, (pre-existing) it doesn't mean that there cannot be a better version of it in your vibrational escrow.
Commit - but don't lose yourself, at any cost.
Lots of love,
M
