Do you know what one of my most frustrating things is…?
When people see themselves only in a Lesser Mode.
Let me explain – when a client comes to me for counseling or a Reading, the first thing I do is look at their Radiance (basically I look for all that is great, beautiful or wonderful about them). Then as they tell me their story, I realize that ‘they don’t really know who they are!’.
Sure, they think they do, but not really…I mean, who truly defines themselves as ‘an accountant’? Don’t get me wrong: we need accountants, we welcome accountants… many beautiful people are accountants…but this does NOT, and should NOT be, how they see themselves!
So, I say again, most people do not ‘see’ their Beauty, Wisdom, Creativity, Exceptional Goodness…all they do is to remain focused on the stupid little things that have happened to them – and cloak themselves in this Lower Image (now, if this isn’t one of the best tricks that the Dark Brotherhood has ever played on Humanity!)
Now here we sit, the client and I, while I do my darnedest to get them to see what I see: a radiant, beautiful, unique Being, full of unexpressed potential…and painful Opportunities…and what do you think I get back…? Things like: “Who would want me?…after two divorces, and a bad relationship, I am just a screw-up…nothing I do ever turns out right!…I just can’t trust myself…I should just be alone…!”
Upsetting, right?
Here’s the thing – it is BECAUSE you’ve had such challenging experiences, that you are wiser…more perceptive…can make better choices…so – believe in yourself…embrace your experiences and BLOSSOM in the beauty and gifts that you are! (and if it’s any consolation, when I would frequently bitch at my Teacher that my Life was hard, she would just smile and sweetly say, “The best students get given the hardest lessons…because they can!”. Now ain’t that just saccharin peachy?…and just plain frustrating!!
So, I am dedicating this month to unveiling your True Self. Not as some high muckety-muck, New Age glorified, ‘Perfect-as-you-are’ Being, just the beautiful, radiant self that you are! If you are curious, then look at our classes…and choose what you would rather be!
