World View Perspective: What anchors our ego

As we grow and develop, we are effectively 'waved' through by our initial caregivers, usually in the form of our initial parents, who are providing what they know.  They have also been waved through their process from their parents and, consequently, given the skills, the education, the food, the clothes and identifications they also received.  They naturally draw on their known, through experience, ideas, concepts, world view, understanding and workable applications.  This they often do lovingly because they care about their child and/or children and their well being.  They want their child to have the needed and necessary skills for life, especially once the child strikes out on their own. It is a system that has worked for generations, to enable our, in general, survival as a species! Styles and influences change, of course, so there are basic changes, through the generations, in design, applications, definitions and sometimes, in directions. Yet, what remains in ...

World View Perspective: As Our Light Shines Deep

As we trust our Light to shine deeper, more of what has held us back can come to the surface.  For example, if our ego was caught up in dramas or traumas for years, trying to make sense of it all with no idea why we can't progress, with more Light shining into our deeper aspects, finally clues can surface.  Why does this happen?  Carl Jung's work offers us a way to understand everything.  Just like day and night, left and right, female and male, young and old, opposites need each other for  balance.  If we think in terms of WHOLENESS as a goal, we need to see, understand, accept and integrate both sides of any equation. So, aspects of us that have been held down in the dark unconsciousness, the only way to see them and feel them again is by making them conscious.  By allowing, inviting, encouraging them to feel safe enough to surface.  Perhaps an abuser has died, maybe a toxic person has moved away or a group of people have disbanded now. ...

World View Perspective: For the Love of Source

After we have grown up, developed into the adult version of ourselves, tried out our best skill sets, personality styles, preferences, a whole myriad of relationships, valued our parents, grandparents and maybe had families we love and provided all we could, our introspection can take us to deeper levels.  We might begin to question who we are, separate from what we have been told we are, we may pursue a different point of view we find so curious or interesting and we may start on spiritual journey of discovery. We have been taught to look outside ourselves for love, understanding and acceptance.  To seek where our comfort and soothing lies.  Maybe we have found it in a parent, a child of ours, a spouse, a grandparent, co-workers or a partner who is there for us. We attach to this person, or group of people, to define who we are. When this shifts and changes, we go through emotional, personal pain due to attachment and can become confused about where to fin...

World View Perspective: Until we resolve the past we can't evolve into the future

  Our human system holds a great deal of energy and information. Memories are held in our cells, in our minds, our hearts and our emotions.  We might think we have thought everything through from the past but it isn't just a mental exercise.  The saying, "We must feel in order to heal' is real.  If there has been abuse, major distrust, extreme betrayal or out and out attacks, we can harbor those negatives thoughts and feelings for years, bound up in our own system.  We might even attach, identify or constantly react/respond as if that is who we are.  In TRUTH, that is not WHO WE ARE! The TRUE SELF that we are is not our accrued experiences. The TRUE SELF is the ONE THAT KNOWS.  To get to the HEART of the TRUE SELF, however, we must release through gratitude and forgiveness and emotion, like rage, what we have held into our system, unconsciously or consciously.  We all have darkness and Light within us.  To become aware of both aspects and ele...

World View Perspective: Inner Illumination as a Means of Healing

After we find our own INNER LIGHT and the causes for any wounding along the way, an awareness arises.  We are NOT actually the Wound or the responding LIGHT.  We are aware of them both and how one may have facilitated the other.  Like any two extremes, the middle road will appear and it is the one to travel.  The middle road is our emerging SELF, the one who knows.  This Self of the Soul carries the wisdom of both aspects of what we have ultimately experienced in our life.   The wound is often the friction that polishes the stone.  From birth to adulthood, we are carried like waves on the surf.  Parents are usually our first and best teachers and the ones who have agreed to carry us along with love, affection, care and feeding.  We learn to color inside the lines and to shift and change and adapt to their ways, their expectations and their ideas of who THEY think we are.  They provide the context and structure for us to define ourselves ...

World View Perspective: How abuse can be a double edged sword

When our human system is impacted by abuse, whether it is physical, emotional, mental, intellectual or even spiritual, we not only feel the impact but then we can become it.  We can absorb the impact and let it fester away for a long, long time.  In that case, we are, in effect, lying and denying how it actually affected us. Not only that, but we can turn it in on ourselves and let it further torture us, fearing that we deserved it, made it happen, so we may actually become the abuse and it's consequences.  This is an easy unconscious thinking and feeling pattern after experiencing it but it not the truth.  We can certainly feel like it is true.  It was a true experience for us, to us, hurting and impacting us, possibly changing our behaviors, sense of self and even our  natural ability sets that we naturally use as we naturally operate. Think of a wood bee.  The wood bees find a worn out area in the wood, perhaps on a wooden deck railin...

World View Perspective: Our initial emotional programming

When we are young, we are initially programmed by our parents.  They see a male child, certain programming comes into play.  They receive a female child and perhaps another set of programming happens.  This is, of course, based on what the parents and grandparents before them have known, learned and experienced. For example, if the family has always owned a farm.  Generations have, in fact, owned that farm.  The males have most likely been operating the heavy equipment, putting in the long days and working tirelessly.  The females have had the children, cooked the meals and kept the household running.  The children for generations have witnessed this division of labor and most likely been programmed to follow suit in some way or form, based initially on their biology, their sexual identification. Often, this could be unconscious. As we grow and develop and look for our path in life, with all that parental programming, we usually follow suit unconscious...
