World View Perspective: We are our truth, not our coping skills

We have all developed human coping skills that help us get through each day when life gets too demanding, too tiring, too stressful or too painful for us.  Most coping skills are acceptable, most we understand in each other, most of them appear harmless and we think they will be temporary.  Some, however, can become addictions that hurt us more than we realize, having negative impacts on others and those we love and they can begin to define us.

Coping skills can also mask our greater Truth, which is more about how we really feel towards our relationships, our current situations, our past and our self.  To go beneath the reason we need coping skills is most often quite painful because we have escaped from the real reason, adopting instead, coping skills that cover up what we don't want to face.  Personal emotional, mental, psychological or even physical pain is difficult because we think that pain is us.  We can't discern that it is not us!

The world is a wondrous, beautiful, living and loving place and yet, there is a prevalence of pain, hurt, harm and trauma, too.  Our human systems are vulnerable to attacks on a multitude of levels, especially as we are developing our full sense of self from birth to 18 years old.  These can be direct physical attacks, emotional attacks, psychological attacks or psychic attacks, which are energetic, meaning felt and experienced on some level.  They can come from our closest family members as our parents attempt to teach us, reach us, prepare us for life, society, school and our ultimate independent life.  Parents unfortunately or fortunately, can only teach us what they know and understand themselves.  If they are limited in their beliefs, their practices, their education, their awareness, then that is all we will learn from them.  Often, we adapt their coping skills in our lives, too.  If they drink to cope, so do we.  If they use drugs to cope, we'll give that a try, if they choose multiple partners or many  marriages, we'll see if that works.  

In many ways, the use of coping skills is like trying on clothes.  You have a certain look you are looking for so you try to emulate it by trying different things on until you find your right and perfect fit.  You look around to get an idea about what might work to help you feel your best.  Through those different experiences, you finally discern what might actually feel like you or what definitely isn't you.  This becomes a series of movement and motions of experiences until you land of how to define yourself, until you evolve again and need to find new coping skills to adapt to this new you.

The key to finding the real you, however, lies in letting go of the coping skills and adaptations from others and standing as your real self after bravely uncovering your true self underneath.  The self that was hurt, traumatized, damaged, ill treated, abused, used, thrown away or otherwise, negatively impacted as you developed must be brought to LIGHT!  That you is also not really you but until you let that you out to feel again and heal again, the rest of you will just become a series of coping skills to feel like you are alright enough to cope.

Our Truth lies in our Heart of hearts and in our Soul of souls.  That Truth is OUR LIGHT and that LIGHT is our ultimate HEALER SELF.  From the core of our cellular nature, that LIGHT can and will shine both up and down into our darkest corners, where we have conveniently stashed the awkward pain of the past.  It will reveal to us the falsehoods about ourselves so we can see and receive our beautiful and clear present, as we fill with more and more LIGHT of our TRUTH!

This is why we all need to remember who we are and why we are here.  We aren't here to simply cope, we are here to SHINE OUR LIGHT.  Whatever happened to us, happened to our systems is not to our TRUTH.  It was simply our experience. 

Seek your inner TRUTH and trust it is within you to help you feel, help you heal and help you to become REAL!  Let the LIGHT in to let the LIGHT out!  Be grateful for all the lessons learned in this life and then let them and the coping skills go.  Trust your INNER LOVE and INNER LIGHT to help restore your right and perfect balance.  You have the right, every minute and every day to be the happiest and healthiest version of YOURSELF and YOUR LIGHT, always.  

YOUR INNER LIGHT KNOWS YOUR BEST PATH FORWARD, TRUST THAT, EVEN IF WE HAVE TO FEEL IT TO HEAL IT!  THE LIGHT WILL ALWAYS GUIDE YOU THERE, ALL WE HAVE TO BE IS GRATEFUL FOR THAT LEVEL OF LOVE BECAUSE IT THERE< RIGHT THERE INSIDE YOU!
