Self-Acceptance – What Does the Mirror Show You? pdf

Video Journal

Feeling strange, again. Oh well – what's new, right? Guess I'mglad for the peace and quiet of this environment that supports mybeing so able to attune to such things. I know how in the hustle-bustle of both everyday life and of mind – gee, are they different –it's not easily noticed. Still, anything is possible, so don't letanything at all limit you.

As Source, we can “do” anything. I put do in quotes, as it'sgenerally the province of mind – doing. Source I find most oftenunconcerned with circumstances – uncaring, unattached. Howabout you? I find that, when we notice the self grasping andhanging on tight – to whatever or whomever it is – that it's mind at work, there. Have you noticed? Heart doesn't grasp.

So what does it mean, to say that, as Source, we can do anything?Good question. Let's see if the words will come to clothe this idea.We are unbounded – completely. That part of us appearing herein time and space isn't appearing. Who/what we are isn't visible,in general, to 3D. Sure, the body can be seen, but come on – youknow you're not that – so don't identify with it. Break the habit.

It seems that, with every journal I start, of late, they all require thelanding in true identity, first – before the rest can be launched.It wouldn't be responsible to just take off into things without firstseeing to that. Why not? Because mind, arrogant dear that it is,would get right into it, would follow along, and would think itunderstood. No such thing. Not even possible.

Why not is also because people are so deeply programmed tobelieve themselves to be limited to 3D. We're totally used toseeing everything from eye level – as if we lived in the head –which most of us do. To take the perspective of viewing from thelower level of Heart is quite shocking – even dizzy-fy-ing at first.

That's how tightly locked in to a certain perspective we'vebecome.

When we look out at the world like that – without first centeringdown into something far more real – everything we perceive iscustom-tailored by mind. Well, thanks, but no thanks. I've riddenthat one right into the ground. Think I'll let it quit. It's a deeper

journey I'm after. How about you?

We have all this fancy biological equipment, and we don't knowwhat we have. We have no idea what it can accomplish, since

we know precious little about what it is. We're running around inFerrari's, treating them like Volkswagen bugs or motorcycles.Seriously, we don't know our equipment.

How can we, when we're always focused out there – on theexternal world? While it's true that you don't need to know theinternal workings of the engine to turn the key and drive the car,this goes way deeper than that. It's time we wised up, andmaybe it will help us quit chasing our tail so darn much.

Even the mind we have is a true wonder that's hardly even beenexplored. Come on – we know just enough to calculate that weuse about 5% of the whole in our conscious part. Just imagine –what are the implications of that? Do you get a sense of it?Freud, Carl Jung and even Robert Monroe and a few others haveexplored beyond the conscious mind – yet we are that and so verymuch more.

Even the conscious mind – its abilities, its drawbacks – hasn't beenanything like fully explored. Yet we're forever outward focused.

What's with that? What could we discover, if we'd just turn ourattention within? We are divine beings, my dear friends –nothing less. Now, if that doesn't get your imagination hopping –well, you're either dead or hypnotized.

Yet to “do” this exploration requires something besides what's inthe head. You don't use a microscope to investigate itself. A knifecan't cut itself. A tooth can't bite itself. Using mind to explore



mind – well, it makes about as much sense – as in none. Sobefore we go on, everyone, drop down into your chest. Breatheinto that big open space in there. Now, just veg.

From Heart we can have a look at anything we like. We can trust we have a disinterested or objective view from here. Heart isn't

attached, either to things or to people or even to ideas or beliefs.Heart just is. It's makes a great base of exploration. And itdoesn't take much practice to get good at hanging out, here. Justset your intent – oh, and be earnest, but of course.

So let's look at mind. What shall we find? First, we will findsomething that feels limiting and constricting from the openfreedom of here – of Heart. Mind creates and maintainsstructures – we notice that, right off. It's what mind loves to do.Mind is also innocent – rather like a small child. It has a native

beauty we may never have previously seen. That makes sense,since it's not viewable from within mind.

Again and again we'll find aspects and angles of being never noticed before. It takes getting out of mind to be able to getmuch of a clear view of it. Reminds me of what Professor Einsteinsaid about needing to view a problem from another angle to beable to resolve it. Things are not very good at examiningthemselves.

How are you doing at sensing things from this new angle? If itdoesn't seem different to you, then you're not here, yet. It's okayto stop reading or push pause and take a moment to settle downin. And I promise, if you will just do this once – even if it takes afew minutes of pause – you'll be able to see, to sense the newdepth that's available to you, here. You're deeper than you know.

You are more, far and away more, than mind is able to sense orcome to know. By limiting the self to mind – and to only the left-brain, at that – we hobble and hamstring our experience of life.

We don't know that, of course. We're innocently being the best weknow to be, just as we've been taught and trained.

Some will say that our problem – the reason for this plight – is thatwe believed what we were told and taught. Yes and no. It is clearthat, had we known not to trust those in charge of things andwhat they said, we would likely had a much fuller experience of life – so that is yes.



But on the other hand, my friends, be honest – what else could wedo? In truth, there was no better option available to us. So iscrying over that not like crying over spilled milk? What point isthere in it? Will it help in any way? I don't see that it's useful atall, so that's no.

So the fact is that, at this point, the huge bulk of us haven't a clueabout our own magnificence. Okay, that's where we stand.We're more than equal to that, since we are Source. I know that's

just too big a step to take all at once. Too far from here to there –so we'll take it by steps. For now, just accept that your nature isdivine. It's enough.

Beyond your nature being divine, so is your equipment, there –that body-mind thing. Yeah, it's pretty darn awesome, in its ownright. So we'll be learning about that. Do keep an open mind.

Things you thought you knew? Best to set them aside. You canpick them up later – if you like – which I suspect, for many, youwon't. In other words, keep an open mind.

Be the empty cup, my friends. When you bring emptiness to this,you've all the room in the world – in the Universe – to take in what's available. When you bring in all the things you think youalready know – well, they cramp your style. This is a very, verydifferent sort of place. Trust me – you know almost nothing of what is available here to find.

Does that make you a wee bit angry? Really? Be honest and openwith the self, now. No sense hiding the truth from you. Be real.And if it makes you at all irritated or angry, then let me introduceyou to mind. Are you open to that? It's a choice – always free willchoice – always up to you. No forcing goes on here.

These journals may be a bit shorter than the previous ones. That'swhat I've noticed, so far. They have the power, the potential,though, to take you deep. You're the one who must take

advantage of that, though. You must bring all of your self to theviewing, the listening. Don't come to them to be entertained.

That, too, would be mind.

That's what the construction of The Matrix is, you know – it'smade of mind stuff . Like a web, it's designed to keep us everfunctioning solely in mind. We've been practically drugged into it– not literally, but by the whole structure of society and the mind-



set of those all around us. It all tends to keep us locked in thehead.

We've been lulled into a sort of soul sleep – from which so manyare now waking up. That would be you. Hey, you may even belight years ahead of the rest in shaking it all off – I don't know. I

just know that it takes sticking to Heart to retain the divineHumility required to navigate your way out. It's a little bit likethe old movie, Tron, where the guy got stuck in the game –something like that.

That guy didn't know he was divine, though – and you do. You'vealready got your head above water, here, attending to this crazyvlog. That's evidence. Mind doesn't like a lot of what I say, here –so certain people – the ones still trusting mind – drop out. Andthat's fine. Not complaining – just commenting on you sticking

around.

What's been put to sleep, to a large extent, is our divine will, ourdivine intent. What we've been left with – what we've beenmoved over into – is the will and intent of the mind. They'refunctioning just fine. We just didn't notice when the swap wasmade – Heart for head – that got us into this state.

That's also why it seems hard at times to wake up – to sustain thewill to do that – to stay in higher levels of consciousness. We've

got to marshal our divine nature, setting aside the mental one inthe process. So we're first making this internal shift. Then we'llsee to the world and such stuff. No use going after that when ourown house is out of order, though. We'll just be ineffectual. Betyou've noticed – and wondered why.

I'm going to break my own “rules” - not that I really have any –and suggest to us all that giving some time over each day tobeing still may really juice up our ride. For the longest timewe've been going nowhere fast – do you agree? It's that way for

most of us. Could be cuz it's designed like that. If you take theride from mind perspective, that's what you can expect.

Making this head-to-Heart shift is a mighty big deal, though.Nothing, no, not any thing, can make such a big difference in yourlife. The fact is that you don't know your self . You don't knowWho you are – nor what. You're a heck of a lot closer to the Sourceby going within – into the Kingdom of Heart , the land of the still,



small voice. Make sense?

So the big shift – The Great Shift, if you will – for us and for now,may well be this shift into Heart. It's as major a shift as you couldwant, if you're the adventurous sort. It's a major change of scenery, a change of point of view. This is the first step – the big

one – right off of the cliff. Are you game?

Friend, if you are awakening, then you have already beenexperiencing elements of the death of the false self – the mind-based creation – the one you thought, all along, was who you are.

This stuff hurts! Why is that? Largely, I think, because weidentified with it so strongly. That's why it feels as if it's somepart of us that is dying – when it's not. But it feels like that.

So this is serious work. It's also play. Still, stick close to Heart,

since that's intuition central for us all. That's where, if you will,we are closest to our internal guidance – Guardian Angel, SpiritualGuides, soul family – call it whatever you will. It's our own HigherSelf, as well as our support team of invisibles.

So it's well to have a light, playful heart about the whole thing –but also to be aware of the gravity, the awesomeness of thisshifting we're doing. It's no small deal. You can expect to feeltotally lost, at times. Depression can come, too – strange sadnessfrom who-knows-where – things like that. The best way I've found

to handle such stuff is two-fold: first, be in Heart as much aspossible, and second, keep remembering Who I Am – and who Iam not.

As we carve out our own territory outside of the mind, we aremuch better able to identify when mind is having a hard time –and to recognize how that is NOT us. Mind is the one having themajor challenges here, friends. It's mind that sometimes thinksthings are simply coming apart – just mind.

If we view this from sacred Heart space, we can see that mind isn'tfar off, isn't wrong in that. Strictly from mind's perspective,things are, indeed, falling apart. The whole world that itstructured for itself – simply everything it once believed – isturning out to be not correct, not real, not the case.

So if mind is feeling and thinking like that, well then, kudos tomind. It got things right. This is the death of the mind-created



false self. I won't call it the ego, since that word carries too muchbaggage – too many connotations to too many minds. Besides,neither mind nor ego needs to die. We still need them for the trip.

Let's do, then, get this straight about what is dying. What isdying is something that was never truly alive. It was an invention,

a creature, a creation of the mind – wholly made of false beliefs –things we were fed growing up that we had to believe to even getthis far. So there is no fault whatsoever with mind. It gave andgives us its best.

Okay, everyone, now reach out and give mind a great big,supportive hug. Seriously, let's take a moment of sincereappreciation for the hard, the tough work of our mind. Let it knowit did a great job – for surely it did. You made it, didn't you?

You're still here, right? Well then, mind did its job.

It was an unfair task mind was set to, after all. All the load, all of the burden was placed solely and squarely on the mind. In reality,mind had no business leading like that. It was never meant to beput in charge.

Source knows better than that. Still, it was clearly part of the planfor this time and the time that went before. It happened, right?Well then, no crying over spilled milk. It just is what it is.

The fact is that mind did its best – yes, your mind. And it deservesmore, much more than just a hug. It deserves to know that itstime of carrying around a Herculean burden is now, officiallyover. Three cheers for mind! Let your mind know that you'll betaking over, now – and that you're putting Heart back in charge.

Though most minds will balk at first – since being in charge is allthey know – yet you can also trust that mind, itself, knowssomehow that this is the better way to go. Even mind has a deepsense of how things should be. The challenge has been that,

carrying such burdens as it has been under, it was too busy justtrying to make it, to handle everything, to get in touch with itsown deeper self.

So you can let mind know that it will now have some official timeto rest and recharge. You're going to be doing things in such away to be much more supportive of, and respectful of mind.Friends, it just doesn't have to be so gosh-darned hard. We, as



Source, as Heart, as Light Beings, can surely lighten things up.

It's like having a mule team where all of the loads were packedwrong. The poor mules have been doing their best, but they're off balance, and having trouble on the rocky mountain road. We cando a tremendous lot, just by stopping a while and rearranging

their loads. Things will go much better when all is back inbalance. There's no need to rush. We just defeat the self whenwe charge off half-cocked.

Okay, enough. A lot has been covered, here. Yet again, anunusual journal. Well, I'm about to say, is there any other kind?Maybe you don't notice it, but in taking these things down I surelydo. The energy just feels different.

And here's a hint – to notice such things, to tune in to energies –

you CAN do this. If you will shift out of head you will find it's anatural gift that you have. It's just not a mind thing, that's all. Sowhen you're viewing a journal and something is said that you justdon't feel or sense, take a moment to center and see how that canhelp.

Namaste.
