There is a difference between your human work and your True work. As you start to shift from human needs to soul desires your passions change. Inspiration that comes from this higher point is very different from your human drive. This kind of passion comes from the soul's purpose to be served, instead of from the ego, which is driven by human achievement and the need to be safe and valid.

Temporary happiness comes when your human needs are fulfilled. Yet when you are engaged in your life purpose you have a sense of resonance and aliveness. The relief when your Soul expresses its mission is enormous and lasting. You feel your True Self coming through you. When you serve your Soul's purpose your heart sings and the feeling of joy is immeasurable.

I wish you well on your journey.

This Journey is about seeing and knowing your humanity fully, including your pain. The human part of us will avoid pain, but by accessing your emotional wounds you have a chance to heal yourself. When you stand in your pain and know it for what it is you will learn you can survive it. Once you accept your pain you can move through it and release its influence. This will lead you to a greater self understanding and to healing and true freedom.

I wish you well on your journey.

It is important is that the journey is constructed in reality as things need to be "real" to move us from one stage of the process to another. Real circumstances are essential to provide the experiences to truly see ourselves and make change. The pressure points that arise from these experiences highlight our feelings and reactions. This is all part of the process of coming into being.

Honor all parts of yourself and your life and keep your feet firmly planted on the ground. Stay in the present. Don't project and don't reflect. The point of power is reality, current truth. The Universe will bring you what you need to move you forward.

I wish you well on your journey.

We want the energy to be free flowing between ourselves and the Universe but we interrupt it through our humanity. Take the journey on a daily basis by knowing yourself better. The journey is your mind, in your thoughts. Take heed of the inner voices and do your best to observe yourself on a daily basis. Be mindful of your negative feelings. Observe and connect to them. You don't always have to go to the depths of them. Simply allow them to show.

On the Journey of the Self you must go through all levels of yourself and reach your core, to get to the essence of who you truly are. You then free yourself from the constructs you have created. When you come into alignment you live from a state of grace and innocence and come from purity and source of truth, without having negative thoughts cloud you.

Think positively about the journey. Know that it is difficult but that it is well worthwhile because it will free yourself to do your True work.

I wish you well on your journey.

We come into this world with three things that are unique to us all; our thoughts, our feelings (senses and emotions) and our actions. From the first moment in life we use this toolkit to survive and thrive, first in terms of food and shelter and companionship, and later in terms of relationships, roles, acquisitions and experiences. In essence, fear and need for safety become a driving force for us to create our personality, and as we move forward our life becomes a cycle of thinking, feeling, and acting in order to support the identity we have created and ultimately feel secure and valid.

At some point, however, we may feel that there is something missing in our life, we may realize that our happiness is only temporary, or we may experience pain and suffering.

It is this point that the Journey of the Self begins...

In the next week, observe your patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting and how you use them to relate to people, define yourself, and get the things you feel you need in life. In essence, step outside your human identity and without judgment start to simply become aware of your "self".

I wish you well on your journey.

What matters is to know yourself fully and only be yourself. When a person is himself, and at his True Center, then nothing is else required. The True Center is a realized being. When a person becomes self realized then he has a total sense of fulfillment.

In the next week become a student of your self. Without judgment, notice what you are thinking. Are your thoughts in the present moment? Or in the past or future? Are they positive, or negative? Simply observe and record.

I wish you well on your journey.

With love,
Richard

On your journey realize that there is one True being but many selves. You identify with these created selves. They become your identity. The spiritual journey helps you understand that these selves are not your True Self. Once you identify and come to terms with all your created selves you can come in to alignment with your True Self and the Universe. Until that time, you will be influenced by your created selves.

I wish you well on your journey.

Human beings create upon a fear base the aspects of themselves that are energetically negative. The more conscious we become of them the less power these influences have over us. From these situations you get to know all the aspects of yourself. Then you are supremely powerful and cannot be undermined.

I wish you well on your journey.

The areas of yourself that you do not see clearly will have an energy that holds you. Use your observational abilities to a greater degree to see the subtleties of these energies. This is a stage of fine tuning.

Observe these parts of yourself with acceptance and non judgment. By judging you add a layer of negativity upon the negative layer that you find in yourself. For instance, you may say, "that's good, or that's not good." Or you may feel that if you are a spiritual being then negativity should not be a part of you. Avoid this judgment. To see yourself to the Nth degree you must see your total self, without critique.

This journey is about seeing the imperfection of ourselves. It is about freeing yourself to be who you truly are and then moving freely in ways to serve.

I wish you well on your journey.
With love,
Richard
