I am coming out of a 40 day cocoon this week called Teshuva. The literal meaning is repentance, but actually the intention is a total reboot and renewal.
When we dig deep, there are always gems to be found. Here’s some of what arose.
We have this choice between the ego things that keep us stuck, or as I call them, illusions. OR we can move towards our essence and higher self.
One keeps us frozen and in cycles of dissatisfaction. One moves us closer to our desires 🔥
Imposters needed a rebrand. So now I call them ✨illusions✨
Imposters feel so intense and rigid. Illusions feel like something you can look at, trust in their ability to not be real, and watch them dissipate like *p**f* magic ✨
Illusions were meant to keep us safe, small and from our highest self and Source.
We are totally surrounded and bombarded by the egoic stuff. The quest for more material goodies, comparison, fear and self doubt.
So with all that noise out there and the ego responding hungrily within, we become these validation seeking humans or monsters.
My validation wound started very young. It put me in a constant state of vigilance and bracing. No matter how many compliments, shoes I bought or how much money I made, I could never really let them land. My eye was already on the next thing to feed the validation monsters.
We get hooked on the little hits of pleasure when the real sexy stuff is all within. We become outsourcers instead of Source seeking.
