Here’s some truth as I experience it – protecting yourself, hiding, guarding, being defensive, playing it safe, that’s not the big game -- it’s not as interesting as being genuine, exposed, naked, awake, compassionate, open, and vulnerable – one creates intimacy and true love the other does not. Guess, which is which?

We’ve all been hurt, in pain, and said or thought -- I will not let another person in fully; I refuse to let anyone really get to know me. It hurts too much. I’m scared so I’ll hide. And for the most part we don’t take each other on – it’s like we say without the words to each other – I’ll buy your BS if you’ll buy mine. Let me ask you, “How does that serve you?” “How’s that working for you?” “What’s missing?”

Our understanding of our lives is so limited and primitive in comparison with the full miracles we are.

Our beings without our input, on autopilot every moment awake or asleep knows to breathe, it’s flowing wakefulness, integrating, expressing, all knowing, distinguishing and deciding, has a sense of I-ness, holds everything together, nourishing and supporting, opposites coexist, diagnoses, has memory, contains an all pervading field of consciousness, is transcendental, conscious, self referral, reverberates, vibrates, expands and contracts, communicates with and without language, omnipresent, enlightened, is invincible, stirring, synthesizing, unfolding, aware, balances, transforms, measures, analyzes, is dynamically creative, heals, flows and is ancient and eternal all this while driving your car, talking on your cell phone and asking the kids to be quiet so you can think where your napkins are to clean up the coffee you spilled on your new suit that you were ripping the tag off while driving with your knees to hold the phone and fuss with your outfit and drink….

And after hearing all this, you still think you need to lose weight, wonder if your lipstick is the right shade, or if your muscles are big enough, or if your pants really go with the shirt you are wearing. Wondering if anyone notices the bags under your eyes, your wrinkles – what funny, tender, sweet ones we are.

Self esteem low for almost all of us – we ask for permission to be self expressed. Our voices are weak and non confrontational, living so small in comparison with the magnificence that truly is us out of ego. That voice that says “I’m not doing enough. I should be doing more.” Shut up.

Being penetrated with a comment that makes me feel bad about myself – I remind myself that my being is in Spirit’s hands and mine –– no one else. I do not give away my power or buy into someone else’s story that I’m less then anyone or anything. I own my power.

Today contemplate where you are hiding out and why? Do you know how to be authentic? Do you take a stand for people and call them on their stuff? Do you allow others in enough to give you honest feedback? Are you able to get past the ego and superficial stuff and realize that you are divine? I’d love your feedback for today’s conversation.. add your post to the blog and feel free to involve your friends and community in this conversation.

What do you think about what I just said? Please post here. Feel free to share this blog with everyone you know. I envision spreading the conversation world wide. Thanks for participating!

Much love and respect
