Finding your truth is universally accepted as being the right way to live your life in line with who you really are. But what happens if you have no idea who that is?
It’s common to find your way to the spiritual path because you feel lost. Life as we know it isn’t working. Because we’re all the products of a flawed upbringing by flawed humans who were raised with the exact same problem, knowing who you are can feel impossible. The phrase “I’m just like my mum or dad” always makes me shiver.
I found my way to this path for this reason, and although I improved over the years there was still something missing. Not within me, more that there was a piece of knowledge and information I didn’t have. I have it now, or at least the next step.
The path of change is often about reading books, following inspirers, doing your best to learn what’s out there so you can rebuild yourself. The problem is you’re still rebuilding yourself based on the ideas of others. I’ve walked this route, and the people that inspired me with their work were wonderful and definitely helped. Except, that feeling was still there and would not go away.
In recent times I’ve learned and teach something completely new, a way of changing that is genuinely cosmic; downloaded by spirit. As you may imagine, all human rules went straight out of the window, and something purer, more loving, and simpler took its place.
I now understand that you don’t fundamentally change by tinkering at the edges of your outer world, nor by trying to retrain your inner world. True inner change comes from a completely different place, and you don’t need to know how to do it, nor what’s needed. It’s this magical, different take on the truth that I wanted to share with you.
The truth is within, we know that of course. But if you attempt to guide that truth with human ideas it will not work. The starting point is to remember that you’re an old, wise, soul. You’ve had a number of lifetimes, thousands of experiences, and you’re like any computer programme. As in, most people learn only what they need. Yet there is far more knowledge and functionality available, that few think to seek. This is what you need to find.
As you may imagine, your soul doesn’t need any human to tell you what’s right for you, not even you the human. Your soul knows you, and precisely what you need to make this life a wonderful experience.
We’re not talking about intuition or gut instinct here; we’re talking about a deep inner knowing that can guide you if you connect to it. The other fascinating thing is that you do not need to guide the change, to decide what you need and tell your soul, you make the commitment to change, connect with your soul, and everything changes.
Nor is it demanding work. When you flow with the blueprint of your soul you automatically move in the right directions. Your thoughts change for the better even though you don’t consciously work with thinking. Your reactions change; there’s a general agreement between myself and my groups that we are reacting to life differently, handling problems better, and generally surprising ourselves on a regular basis. It’s a ‘where did that come from?’ feeling, but a safe one because it was from within you.
The more you move down this path the more centred you feel, I’ve never felt more like me in my life, and I get my state pension later this year. Nor do I feel like a pensioner, but I am looking forward to receiving the money, and being 66. It’s exciting. Ageing means nothing to me now.
This isn’t a feeling of having coped with the idea after a few years to get used to it. It’s more that on a grand, cosmic, soul level, it has no relevance, and doesn’t require a moment of mind space.
I’ve concluded that the answer lies somewhere between – classic human thinking isn’t the way to find it, and the truth isn’t what you think it is. It isn’t about what you want, what you need, your career, where you live, or what you accept in relationships. It’s far more subtle and 10 times as powerful, yet the gentlest change you will ever experience.
Just place both hands over your heart at least once a day and breath normally, no need to to sit in pretzel position, then focus on your heart centre. Allow your mind to drop way beneath the surface to where your soul energy is plugged into your body. Relax until you connect. You will feel it very quickly. In group we do other exercises following this one, but this is the one that changed everything. What’s more, you don’t need to do it for ages, 5 minutes will be plenty.
Then allow the results to appear. Don’t let your mind become involved. Your mind is an amazing processor, and it will do its job of accepting the changes and keeping you informed. It just needs your soul’s guidance. The changes will manifest in their own time, the perfect way.
The instant I feel even slightly unsettled now, I take a few seconds to centre in my heart and feel surprisingly better amazingly quickly. The worries I used to have, my lifestyle, my writing, my work, my life, I’m completely relaxed about it all. I feel so full of appreciation and gratitude every day, and yet it’s not appreciation and gratitude as we know it, it’s a deep inner knowing that I’m in the right place being my true self.
I no longer strive in my work and I’m building followers. I gave up writing and started writing again. I’m more relaxed around people. I know the lifestyle that suits me and follow it.
This all came about by doing a visualisation that doesn’t deal with any problems whatsoever yet has changed everything. Soul truth is the only truth, and that truth comes from the universe, not this world. The truth is out there, and you can access it. If you need help, contact me.
