Mirror of Our Consciousness
To know the truth of who you are is to recognize the eternal love
flowing within you. It is this love that will lead you to the life you intended
to live. You cannot sit on your hands, repeating the same behavioral patterns
and expect to live a life of infinite possibilities. To discover this love, you
must question your thoughts, and beliefs. It is here where you begin to see the
reasons why you have chosen to sit on your hands.
Fear plays a large role in remaining in place. One reason for this
fear is a lack of inner courage, the courage to step into the unknown and know
it will all work out. There is also a fear of looking within yourself to see if
your behavior is the root of this fear. It can be easy to blame others, yet to
take responsibility for yourself takes courage, and a willingness to accept
that your behavior may be the reason for your discomfort.
Your consciousness has no bias, nor does it sugar coat what it
reflects. What you see in the mirror—if you are truthful—may not be pretty, yet
it is a reflection of who you show to the world. No matter how you spin the
results, you are responsible for what you see. To blame others is to shift
responsibility for your happiness to others. You will never be truly happy if
you try to use negativity to achieve happiness. True happiness is to be found
in love.
The mirror of your consciousness knows nothing of blame, all it
does is reflect the truth of what it sees. Sure you can try to hide from the
reflection, but deep within, you know the truth—the mirror does not lie. Yet
how often do we lie to ourselves? Telling ourselves a lie to justify our
negative behavior, lying to ourselves as a way to place blame on others. Do we
lie to others as a way to gain their favor? Or, do we lie as a way to justify our
negative behavior. As with any other thought or belief, a lie gains strength
the more we repeat it, no matter if it is to ourselves, or others.
Often we use the lie because we are afraid of seeing the truth reflected back to us when we take the deep dive into our
consciousness. This is lying to protect ourselves from a truth we do not want
to face. If we have enough belief in the lie we become comfortable with the
lie, and it has the power to become a part of who we show to the world.
Are we courageous enough to question the lie? To challenge the lie
we must first recognize that it serves us no true good, and it is keeping
us from living to the fullness of who we are. We must realize that to live an
authentic life we must dismantle the emotional system that allows the lie to
flourish in our consciousness.
One of the challenges we face with questioning the lie, is by
doing so we may shake the foundation of our life experience. Have we built a
life centered around this lie? What will happen if we choose to question the
validity of the lie? Will our lives fall apart? Or will they fall together?
How do we know if we are carrying a lie in our consciousness? Any
thought, or belief not founded in pure, unconditional love is in essence a lie.
It has no truth, it is not honest, and many times we use the lie to blame
others for the lack we see in our lives. If we believe we lack love, we blame
others, lack money, blame others, lack a fulfilling life, blame those around us.
Such thoughts are lies we tell ourselves because it makes us feel better about
the lives we have chosen to live.
While we struggle with these questions, the fullness of who we are
waits, the eternal love found by recognizing the truth of who we are flows
past. When we find the courage to question our thoughts, and beliefs, including
the lies we tell ourselves, we begin to live a life free from fear, because we
can accept the truth of who we are, and the responsibilities that go along with
this truth.
The clear path forward is to take an honest look within ourselves
and ask the tough question, “What is your responsibility for how life has
unfolded?” Sure, you may have had a painful life, yet healing from this pain is
your responsibility. The outcome of clearing away the lies we tell ourselves,
is love. A love that needs no justification, no reason other than to love.
This is how we discover the truth of who we are. This is the life
we have intended to live, not a life of fear, not a life of anger, nor is it a
life of lying to ourselves. Is it possible to see we have hindered our own
ability to live to the fullness of who we are? To live life as it is meant to
be, is to live a life filled with true, pure love. Yet to realize this love we
must be courageous enough to look in the mirror of our consciousness and accept
our responsibilities as we seek the truth of who we are.

Do we have the courage to look within ourselves to discover the
mirror of our consciousness? What would we see reflected back to us?

open to exploring the subject further.
Recently I published my book, “Your Inner Guidance, The Path to discovering
Your True Happiness.” In it you will find chapters on self-love, teachers and
students, synchronicity as guidance and forgiveness to name a few. If you would
like to purchase either an eBook or a paperback, click on the link.
Each
week I email an article to those who have subscribed to my weekly. This week I
discuss asking for help. Here is an excerpt.
Few people realize that asking for help is a powerful
act of self-love. They believe that to
validate their love for themselves they must accept one more responsibility.
They fear that by saying no, they will lose the love they are trying so hard to
feel from others. To recognize one’s true self-love is to know one’s
limitations, and then express this when asked to carry one more responsibility.
