Speaking Your Truth

Speaking your truth, and fully accepting and experiencing your true nature is a path to realizing your potential. It's also a way to stay on the path of owning your sovereignty. We are here on Earth only to bring to reality our true selves. We are not here to try to emulate others, or take on their truths as our own. Each of us has a job to do here: Be Yourself. In being yourself, as only YOU can, you teach the next generation that THEY can be themselves. When we live our truths, we add to the flavor of reality the special spice that is our personality, our beauty, our intelligence, our unique blend of so many experiences and discoveries... thus increasing the beauty of the Universe, the complexity and wholeness of God. If we are but spiritual individuations of God, experiencing Himself on all the various dimensional planes of existence, then by fully expressing ourselves in our own unique way, we are helping His grand design of expansion and growth and depth. I'm not able to speak for God, obviously, but if I were to conceive of a reason for the trillions of lives lived since the beginning of Time, this is what I would imagine was the reason for existence. 

 I'm sure that there is so much more to understand and experience to infinity, right? But is there a part of you that hears what I say and feels a kernel of truth here? My path in life has taken me all over. I have been a spiritual seeker since childhood, when I chose to attend a church with my best friend, at 7 years old, since my parents were of different faiths and didn't go to church. (One Catholic and one Lutheran, both based in Christianity.) I went to a Southern Baptist church! I didn't find what I was looking for there, although I liked it. I needed to know more about my place in the world, and my connection to God. I wanted to understand Jesus, and honestly, I wanted to learn how to be as close to God as I could be. However, seeded within the church was this underlying belief that I was not good enough, and that I needed to look to the church for guidance and validation. I also felt that my womanhood was at the root of “what was wrong” with me. And that slowly started me on a different path. I explored new ideas from then on that I felt were more empowering. I now see that as the start of my expansion into my truest self. 

For each of us that path will be different. Our highest truth is OUR highest Truth. We must discover this and we must speak it with others. I encourage people to listen with open hearts to what others say, but hold your kernel of truth within you. Let in that which resonates and release that which does not. Let us support each other in the knowing that we are all here to learn our lessons, which are going to be individual to each of us, and let us just hold space with love for the path others must traverse. It’s harder for some than others. People come into this life with baggage that can’t always be seen or even understood, so maybe we can honor that by just being loving, kind, and open. This could help us all on our own personal journeys. ❤️
