Day 143: From Criminal to Principled Living
Day 144: Realising and Living my utmost potential part 1
To come back to the point of utmost potential and how this related
to what I have written above; therefore children as myself is/were constantly
bombarded by the mind’s survival mechanisms, whilst at the same time the parent
is through words and mannerisms believing they are protecting the child, but
what is happening is that the child is being impulsed and programmed to also
like the parent survive based on fears and energy patterns.Therefore as an
example, a parent might have grown up believing that for woman to survive they
must appear feminine and thus attract a man with money and therefore she will
have a value (money will allow her to get married which equals value and thus
further produce children which again gives her value). For example, at some
point I remember wearing something which caused my mom to frown and say ‘that is
not very lady-like’. In that moment my mom was triggering her belief system of
survival as I explained above in relation to surviving in this money system and
according to the role of a woman as ‘child bearer’. This is not living our
fullest potential, because you will notice it is merely a fear driven belief
system which limits a woman to a label, so that we can become those value
systems within our minds and once we believe this about ourselves we have
‘value’. So in the end we become energy experiences of say for example
‘valuable’ or ‘a mother’ or ‘needed’ or ‘a woman’ and therefore we are merely
energy – which is determined by actions and behaviours that fuel our thinking
about ‘who we are’.
Therefore, years ago when I started learning about what is behind
what we as people say and do – I saw that nothing was really relevant because I
could show how most things that came out of my mind had some other explanation
behind it – either a fear or a desire or some state of mind which in the end
would allow me to experience myself as an emotional energy such as ‘fulfilled’
for example ‘I “feel” fulfilled when my partner tells me I am beautiful’. So
for me – looking back at my childhood when I worked with what utmost potential
means – brought up many memories of moments when my
parents/siblings/peers/teachers/influential person, thought they were guiding me
through actions or words to become my utmost potential in this world – but
really it was actually just to live the limitation which we have all come to
accept ourselves to be in this world – whether it is for example to sexualise
ourselves for our survival, to live according to a belief system, cultural or
religion ideology or to avoid fear, disappointment or loneliness.
When I realized that as humans we do not live or understand what
it means to live our utmost potential due to ideas and beliefs we inflict upon
ourselves as the physical – I started looking into my own history, my own
beliefs about who I am and aaaalll the ideas existent within me about what I
should be living. I first addressed ideas I learned from my parents, then I
looked at my own pre-programmed designs – meaning the thought constructs that
were automated to me, programmed into my DNA as the personalities that I would
become, my mind and the physical behaviours and designs that I would experience
as my body. From there I looked at what values I accepted about myself from what
I have taken over from society, celebrities, music, movies, religion etc. In the
end I saw and realized that obviously one can really expand yourself into any
direction you want – unless of course you allow a belief system of the mind to
come up and tell you otherwise. Referring back to the first point about
potential I spoke about above; obviously something to consider is that there are
for all of us certain strengths which we are ‘born with’ and weaknesses – and as
I have learned weaknesses one is always able to assess and practically work
with, meaning to see where one is able to strengthen ones weakness. This does
not mean that we will change all weaknesses into strengths – if one has broken
an arm or a leg thus leading one to have a weakening of that limb – one is able
to do physical exercises to stabilise and strengthen that limb – however the
reality of the situating is that the particular limb/organ might always be
different or weaker than the other limb –therefore one is always working with
practicality – to not create far out ideas either that we are invincible and
will magically change our reality. This is a physical reality with physical
matter – where certain consequences change how physical structures such as the
body functions, therefore when I work with myself I always take into
consideration how I am able to move myself through a perceived weakness while at
the same time obviously being aware of not creating consequences in the physical
due to being unrealistic. Therefore I listen to my body.
In the blogs to follow I will be writing about the other
principles, which will bring in further considerations around ‘Realising and
living my utmost potential’ such as self honesty, self responsibility and self
forgiveness.
