Making Our Innate Art Come To Life…

First Requires Unseating The False Self
If there is one idea in my spirituality-based studies that has helped me heal and grow and expand it’s the idea of the True Self.
It’s been given different names throughout the eons, Spirit, Intuitive Mind, Christ Consciousness, Unicorn Goddess (okay, maybe not that one), but the essence is all the same — there is a Creative Force in us that is constantly duking it out with the false self for head and heart dominance.
No where is this grudge match more bloodier than when we step out of the slave line of routine and paycheck to paycheck and the nine to five hysteria and plow our own way.
Make our innate art come to life.
The idea that you, with all of your obligations to home, work, family, social gatherings, fantasy football leagues, etc., could somehow use your imagination and talents and intuition to reinvent your entire world, to create the future as it was meant to be, is terrifying to the false self.
It would much rather have you in a perpetual defensive stance shielded from the very woundedness that shaped it in the first place.
But to experience the True Self in all of its magnitude we must tread through those old wounds.
There’s no way around it.
The traumas and humiliations and heartbreaks and failures and betrayals, all must be faced, acknowledged, and given the command to drift away.
All of this hardens us. Thickens our skin. Something we need if we’re committed to seeing our dream of writing or designing or illustrating or producing or launching materialize.
We’ll never uncover the mystery of our existence — our True Self — without unseating the false self from atop our soul.
So, bring that sucker down already and go out and live life as the real you.
