Living Your Truth: A Practice of Becoming<\/strong><\/p>\nBy Rev. Dr. Trish Hall<\/em><\/p>\nI invite you to join me in imaging a world in which everyone lived their Divine Truth, <\/em>that is, lived from their creative essence rather than as a reflection of their human environment. Life would be simpler, collaborative and cohesive. Each of us would be the complement of one another. The highest good for all would be the natural outcome of all effort.<\/p>\nThe only thing between experiencing this imagined Divine Truth and the world of chaos and confusion that seems to be swirling around and throughout our current existence, is our collective belief that the imagined experience is not possible. Beliefs are just that: BELIEFS. With dedication and commitment, beliefs can be changed.<\/em> This may sound silly and yet it is true: individual and the collective beliefs of a society are all changeable. To change collective beliefs, individuals\u2019 beliefs must shift first.<\/p>\nThe starting point is embracing the fact that it is possible for collective belief to change. Individual beliefs must coalesce and reach \u201ccritical mass\u201d \u2013 that is, enough of us must be willing \u2013 visibly willing \u2013 to LIVE OUR DIVINE TRUTH – <\/em>in order to reveal an altered shared cosmology.\u00a0<\/p>\nWe launch the process by opening to the possibility that we have had it wrong \u2013 we were never created to be less-than<\/em>. Truth is: We are amazing! We are pure potentiality. Our desires are inspired \u2013 <\/em>they arise from Spirit-within. Your desire for Peace is not some crazy notion. Peace is attainable and sustainable. We are the ones that can release it from the dungeons of dark thought into the light! We are the enablers \u2013 the facilitators of transformation. It\u2019s remarkably simple so long as stay awake and do our part.<\/p>\n\u201cBecoming\u201d is not about changing into something or someone new. It is about revealing the Truth of what and who you already are. It\u2019s about shedding all delusions about not-enough-ness, inadequacy and limitation. It IS<\/em> about living into our magnificence \u2013 our Divine Truth.<\/em><\/p>\nCommitment is essential. The old clich\u00e9 of \u201cthe road to hell is paved with good intentions,\u201d \u2013 the ones that lack follow-through get derailed. We hear the echoes of New Year resolutions that hardly got off the ground before being swallowed up by old deeply engrained habits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the most effective ways to ensure that we will keep our commitment is to identify what we do not want to perpetuate. Think, \u201cmother tiger.\u201d What is it that matters so deeply that we are willing to do whatever it takes \u2013 to stay committed – to protect those we love and the generations yet to come?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What do we deem intolerable? Identify it. Clarify your perspective. Engage with it using our level of dissatisfaction to remind us why we have embraced the challenge \u2013 to be a catalyst for change \u2013 a catalyst of peace. Invite it to ignite your passion for possibility.<\/p>\n
Passion! The desire for a world that works for everyone rather than just a few. How can this be? Within our human concepts, we can fall all-too easily into believing in impossibility. We may then venture into striving \u2013 striving to become something different \u2013 striving to become something we believe we are not. Striving is the out-picturing of a sense of lack \u2013 a belief in not good enough<\/p>\n
Unveil your passion for possibility!<\/em> Fan the fire that calls you to reveal your true identity. That fire in our bellies prevents the slow erosive slide into apathy. Identify what you won\u2019t accept, turn from it. What do you deeply desire? Open to spirit\u2019s guidance to lead you to what is yours to do to make a difference. Don\u2019t concern yourself with the \u201chow.\u201d When you get your humanity out of the way, you will be Divinely Guided.<\/p>\nWhat matters to you? Lean into \u201cinspired action\u201d \u2013 open to Spirit pointing you into perfect alignment with your unique way of being. Do your part (no matter how large or small) \u2013 to be a cause for change! Do it and do it! Do your part! As Dr Seuss pointed out, \u201cToday you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.\u201d You are the only one that can change the world in ways that are uniquely you.<\/p>\n
\u201cChunk it down\u201d to avoid being overwhelmed: Select 3 to 7 actions that are completely doable and commit to do them routinely and consistently. Routineness and consistency build new neuropathways in our brains and solidify our chosen new habits. Some examples of simple things that can make a huge difference \u2013 and they are doable:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n- Get the name of your server in a restaurant and then call that person by name.<\/li>\n
- Ask how someone is and stop long enough to listen to their answer and respond accordingly.<\/li>\n
- Send a thank you note in whatever format works for you<\/li>\n
- Hold a door for someone \u2013 no, it\u2019s not too old fashioned, it\u2019s kind<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Taylor your 3 to 7 actions to the lifestyle that you wish to experience. As Mohandus Gandhi, the Mahatma, said, \u201cBe the change you desire to experience.\u201d You will find it remarkably rewarding.<\/p>\n
Remember: We are always evolving. The creation of new neuropathways marks our evolution. We are not only changing our thinking, we are mentally, physiologically, psychologically and spiritually going through a metamorphosis. Our awareness is awakening setting the stage for different choices and responses. We are emerging from being a reflection of our environment to fully expressing our Divine Truth \u2013honoring the expression of our Creator.<\/p>\n
Affirm: Who I am is not fixed by some external force. I am continually unfolding, experiencing and exhibiting my deeper truth. I am conscious evolution in action.<\/em><\/p>\nBecome a keen observer. Be a people-watcher. When observing people and aspects of nature, look within them \u2013 look to their essence. See the Creator in expression. Respect for what they are, regardless of their momentary behavior, is bound to arise. Notice the Creator in expression in the most unlikely places.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Become \u201cmindful.\u201d Stay alert to when you may default to old behaviors \u2013 old habit. Like Rumi say, \u201cDon\u2019t go back to sleep.\u201d Keep your commitment in top of mind so that you can freely and easily sustain your commitment. Remember your \u201cwhy\u201d \u2013 what you don\u2019t want to see perpetuated. Remember to keep empowering your how \u2013 your 3 to 7 actions.<\/p>\n
Become a way shower who, by your actions models possibility for others. The more we behave in ways that align with peace, the more we inspire others to do likewise \u2026 and the world changes. Our selected habits become more consistent \u2026 easier to maintain.<\/p>\n
Become magnets. Call together others who share our peace-perspectives and form strong, healthy relationships \u2013 the core of thriving communities. Mark our milestones with celebrations! As we build critical mass, we will be able to pass on a world that works now and for future generations \u2026 pure potentiality evolving into fully expressed reality \u2013 the reality of PEACE<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mission, should you choose to accept it \u2026\u201d [drawn from classic Mission Impossible series], is to reveal your Divine Identity and live your Truth. Simply practice BEING YOU! <\/em>Give the gift of empowering others to BE THEMSELVES \u2013 their radiant DIVINE SELVES!<\/em><\/p>\nPEACE IS POSSIBLE! Peace is assured when we each live our Divine Truth. We each are the complement of one another. The highest good for all would be the natural outcome of all effort.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
