Creating Inner Peace – Maintain Your Own Sense of Who You Are.

On By rennwestIn Creating Inner PeaceLeave a comment

When you do follow someone else’s lead, do you still maintain your own sense of who you are?

At the same time, I speak of independence from the larger group, I have to admit my attachment to my best friend since the time we had been five years old. I tended to follow her. She went to public school, so in ninth grade my father let me switch over to the same public school. She wanted to be part of a group of friends, so I was also friendly with them. In tenth grade she wanted to join ROTC for the guys, so I also joined. Even though I knew I would never ever be joining the military for the same simple reason of not wanting to be told how to act and dress. I did put up with the ROTC uniform on certain days and enjoy carrying the flag during parades and prior to football games. And the two military balls I attended were exquisite. And the guys were a nice bunch of people.

Creating Inner Peace – Events Don’t Define Us

What abilities have you proven that separate your sense of being, how you identify yourself, from the events you’ve experienced?

I was eight when the pedophile started making me accessible to cult abusers, a hate and rage cult. Thankfully, only every couple of years. The pedophile didn’t seem to be active in the actual cult abuse. It was more like they gave him permission to be a pedophile, if he provided them with children. The effect on my life was devastating, but I was able to wall off the devastation until I could muster the knowledge, tools and understanding to deal with it. Our minds are really amazing in the different ways there are to survive. The majority of me that grew older was able to maintain the attitude, from after the car accident, of trusting things to work out eventually and always being cared for.

Identifying with Our Higher Self

On By rennwestIn How do I identify myself?Leave a comment

The main thing that allows my higher self to shine thru and be the doer in my life is how I identify myself. If I choose to identify myself as a human being that doesn’t even have a higher self or even a spiritual self; then my higher self isn’t going to interfere in my free will choice to believe that about myself. The more I identify with my higher self; the more I show my free will indication that I want to acknowledge more with that part of my being. I’ve known for years that I’m a spiritual being having a material experience. And that nothing in the physical actually defines me. No experiences inherently define me. I can always choose how I wish to respond, even if it’s lifetimes later. I can choose differently as many times as I wish until I’m willing to just let go of the experience altogether. What I’m learning is that my physical and spiritual work equally hand in hand. One is the Omega and one is the Alpha. The physical is actually an expression of the spiritual. There’s some mud on the window and there are some filters in the way. The mud and filters are ideas that limit me; beliefs I’ve taken on out of feeling hurt or oppressed or rejected; and decisions I’ve made about what I do or don’t want to experience. But as I clear the mud and filters; more and more of the authentic me can shine thru. I can identify myself with false beliefs and hurt feelings; or I can reach higher. I choose to reach beyond anything I’ve come to feel or believe (especially about myself) based on my experiences on Earth.
