Chase Yourself

I think that many of us are being chased down to the level of our pain. Do you know what you are so pained about? Do you honestly know? Or do you hide from it?

To know the Truth, one must be willing to learn and unlearn. The work is to walk neither faster nor slower than your soul, because it is your soul that will teach you the efficacy of each step you take. That alone is enough and makes all the difference.

The suffering we experience today is largely due to the fact that we have forgotten the purpose of our lives. And in doing so, we have developed a flawed perception of worth and happiness.

Why do we internalize ourselves? Our issues? Why are we so afraid to be vulnerable? Why do we work so hard to NOT be vulnerable? Why do people run when the depths of exposing truth come rushing?

What I know for sure is… HUMAN is an enigma to themselves. We know how to compare ourselves by the judgments laden by yesteryear – by societal norms – by religions – by popularity – by politics, etc… but we do not know ourselves. In the same way that our misunderstanding of the solar system had to be freed from prejudice, the most strenuous efforts of a well-nigh revolutionary nature is needed to free consciousness.

To do so, we need to release it from the spell of mythological ideas. Consciousness, as I define it, is a precondition of being. It is not some ‘woo-woo’… it is a surrendering of heart and embrace of divine purpose.

Instead of asking destructive questions that intensify a sense of powerlessness like, “What is wrong with me?” I want to encourage the questions that lend you to the joy of creating the picture of your life the way you want it to be. Because, that is who you really are!

As you journey in life, the answers to the following questions may change. THAT’S OKAY! Because as you grow, so too will the answers. It’s all a part of evolving into who we were always meant to be.

This process is meant to help identify and enhance the deepest truth of the life you intend for yourself – which may not be what you immediately think is. It may seem trivial at first, but everything you see around you originated as a thought. If you change your thoughts, you will change your life. And the revision of your thoughts – and therefore, your entire life – can come of this simple act of self-questioning.

No life is a failure, because every life – no matter how much suffering is a part of it – is giving birth to the evolution of Source. Love that voice within. Praise it. Honor it. Have faith in it… because faith is the catalyst by which we embody divinity. It is the ultimate expression of love. And it will become a constant applause in your life.

Here are some questions that I have asked myself ... questions I invite you to ask yourself:

• What is the best question I think I could ask myself right now?

• How do I think my life will improve once I find the answer to that question?

• What do I like most about myself?

• Why is this what I like most about myself?

• How do I feel (in general) about my life right now?

• What makes me feel this way?

• If yes/no… How so?

• What thought do I most want to think about myself?

• Why do I want to think that thought about myself?
