What is Self Mastery ?

In a nutshell , self mastery is self control. Further defined, self mastery enables one to have say in how her/his life unfolds. It is a simple path yet it is not easy.

You becoming new can potentially be a daily happening as each insight, each realization is received…by you. Continuing practice strengthens your ability to choose how you respond in the moment to life’s ups and downs.

That singular moment of choice determines your future direction.

Beginning levels are about creating a strong foundation for your life long journey . There is more to us than most of us know through personal experience.

The movies and some seemingly harmless psychotrophic drugs may give glimpses of the more ” glamorous ” aspects of self discovery with disproportionate importance. Some weekend workshops promise you the hard earned diligence of lifetimes ,that of becoming a master, an avatar, for a fee and minor inconvenience to your schedule.

And still, quietly, the natural path of self discovery , travelled by the ancient wise ones, is alive and well. It requires our enthusiastic and ,undeterred desire to do and be better people. It requires commitment to discover our more expansive selves.

You will find no isms here as you enter into your true heart.

Let your heart be your guide. It will call out to you in ways you cannot ignore when you are ready to learn more. Pay attention.

Many paths lead to self mastery. I share glimpses of my study and practice of fifteen years thru classes and coaching.

HeartLinked

another birth has occurred

a newer version of me emerges .

this one able to hold

more light

this one aware of being

one speck

in the cosmos

yet part of

all there is.

this one

able to see

from above

the fray

and yet be in the fray

linking with all

hearts

shining

and enlightening

all that

desires the light

simply

by being itself ,

holding steady

anchoring light

allowing

love

to evolve

on the earth,

in the earth

all the while

becoming a

medium

for hearts to

spiral upwards

Me? Love”Them ” ?

Did I know the extent of the damage I had done to myself in judging the past? I carried it with me like truckloads of judged art that no one loved.

INflamed tissues, bleeding from within bursting with unforgiven tears, stopped healthy growth in its tracts.

Yes, i prevented me from prospering, from releasing that which needed to go

i was like a thing that had eaten away at itself.

thinking i was revealing the wrongs of others, them, i was also striking at me that i could not see

thank u other, i bow to you , i owe my ever greater vision of wholeness to

you

Thinking i was due what they had earned ate away at my sense of self. My gifts went cold waiting for my gratitude and attention.

i lost desire to nurture all of me.

yes, all the proper emotions are there to make me a fitting case for sympathy. yet sympathy is inadequate to heal a broken heart. it is too weak to penetrate into the depths of pain waiting to be healed

decisive , soft, fiercely true , is the love i must know

when i choose fear , fear is what i see in every turn. when i choose love, i see the love that has always been and always will be there, sitting with me guarding me, walking with me into the way ahead

it is simple to understand. it is not easy to know.

i shall keep on going.

loving more all the while.

To Heartlink

When you love someone, the best thing you can give is your presence. How can you love someone if you are not there?”Thich Nhat Hanh

You and I must show up. We walk in the world masking ourselves and our strengths. It’s safer that way. No odd looks, ostracism. We can feel that we belong , included.

We know in our inner most hearts we are different . There’s no need to try to convince ourselves otherwise.

We try to fool others yet they sense that there is something more, that we aren’t showing them all our cards. As we look around the world we see what the result of swallowing one’s words, sitting on one’s wisdom can be.

Devastating.

Education is integral to the process of change. Otherwise, we swim around in circles in our old ways gaining neither depth,insight, nor the muscular advantage provided through challenge.

Enjoy becoming ever more courageous and present with them.

Your Journey is Mine,too.

your journey is mine
too.
i can turn away from your pain
to save myself
act as if i don’t see it
it’s not part of my life
i have enough concerns already
all believed to safely justify
selfishness
i am better than u
after all, right? . i am bigger. i have more.
and that makes it okay for me
to let u struggle alone.
i am more important,
more necessary to the world
why should i have to bear the consequence
of what u create?
whether it is my hand talking to my little finger
or me to u
it is the same result
we are connected.
and what u can or cannot do and be
affects me
affects the potential
of the whole
unity exists already in consciousness
beyond the
mundane,
in potential
waiting to
be made manifest
by our desire
to know it
oneness already is
a state of being
we ask for its expression
in this now
heart to heart.

Don’t Take the Bait

Stay steady

focused on your highest potential

You who feel to ground , anchor harmony on the planet,

live harmoiously

Dont take the bait

to separate

when u feel yourself engaged in right and wrong ways of being, talking , and doing

you will know your vibration has dropped

below the

state of allowing flow

of knowing ,

of intuition

spiral upwards

take the high road

let egos win arguments

oneness

know no sides

harmony

can come out of conflict

see that possiblity

always
