SELF-DENIAL AND EXCUSES




There are many, many feelings we flow out when thinking about our wants and desires, but these will help you to see where you´re coming from, and what kind of negative emotions have been holding those Wants away from you.

 

 

 

Squelching Our Desires


The point of this article is to show how great is our need to squelch our desires, whether from fear of disappointment, or fear of disapproval, or just our own feelings of unworthiness.  Day in and day out, we deny ourselves our number one right.... the right to any desire we may have.

Now granted, if your desire is to rule the world, and you couldn´t care less how you  get there, then we´d have a good argument in the works all about evil, and right or wrong, etc.  So when we talk about "your right" to have whatever your desire may be, let´s not get hung up on moral semantics.  That is not our issue here.

Excuses


What we need to see is how easily and effortlessly we keep our happiness away from ourselves.  We also need to see the excuses we usually chalk up to "reality".... "Well, the reality is, I can´t afford it."  Or "the reality is I don´t have the education."  Or "the reality is it´s just an impossible dream."

There is no "reality" that can not or will not change, no matter how real it seems to us, but we have to give it something to change TO.  If all we ever feel when thinking about a "Want" is some degree of shame or fear, the Universe has no alternative but to bring us the match of that negative energy, called Struggle!!

Our Energy Flow


Anything we allow to affect our vibration affects our manifestation.  So here´s the flash:  There is not a dream, desire, or hankering that, when put into the proper vibrational flow, can not be drawn into your reality and enjoyed to the fullest measure.  Not one!  NOT ONE!!!  The Universe has no standards for us.  It will never withhold a thing from us, or judge us in any way for our desires.  The only thing that keeps our desire away is our own energy flow.

If we are to walk into empowerment, we must -- repeat, MUST -- get beyond the Rights and Wrongs of wanting.  That is only social-conscious nonsense.  If what we come to receive makes us happy, then every person on the face of this planet -- including family, friends, and coworkers -- will benefit, regardless of how it may appear in the moment.  UNTIL DEEP DESIRES ARE TOUCHED AND RELEASED, A LIFE CAN DO NOTHING BUT STAGNATE.

Society´s Judgements


"Wants" must rise above society´s judgements.  To the degree we continue to seek approval outside of ourselves, to put greater stock in what others think of us than in our own desires, we deny our divinity and view ourselves as limited human beings.

For us to release the shame of wanting, it´s important we understand the benefits which accrue to others -- not just to ourselves -- when "Wants" are fulfilled, and how to walk out of that ill-placed guilt of putting ourselves before others.

Denying Ourselves


We cannot deny ourselves without denying others.  If we deny ourselves some deep desire in order to please others, we´re imposing our own guilt on those persons by claiming we are doing it for them.  That puts us in the low-frequency position of being spiritually superior, of knowing what is best for all souls.

Our natural flow of consciousness is towards the Light, but the only way to accomplish that is to remove ourselves as much as possible from the low frequences of social consciousness.  As we learn to engage the higher frequencies of desire, we soon see that in choosing this freedom for ourselves, we are offering it to others by example, by love of Self, by showing that choice is a divine right and power unto itself.

Responsibility


Where, then, does our responsibility lie??  To a stranger hurt by the wayside, we have a responsibility outside of "me".  To our children and families, if we hold the love we profess we have a responsibility to bring the Light of Empowerment to teach and show the way.  So, is wanting selfish??  Definitely!!  And so is divinity.  The choice is not always easy, but it is most assuredly necessary if one is to reach out of social-conscious limitations.  This brings us to what this entire lesson is about...  The Law of Attraction and identifying what we DO want.

We can identify all we want, but then comes the test.  Can we step out of our unworthiness, our shame, our guilt, and everything else having to do with the social-conscious thinking of "Oh dear, what will they think," and go for it??

Accepting our right to want, and then ALLOWING ourselves to want is the biggest test we shall ever face on this journey.  Bottom line : This is a test we MUST pass if empowerment is to remain our deepest desire.  ---  "A DESIRE THAT IS WITHIN YOU THAT IS NOT LACED WITH DOUBT, IS DIVINE.  BUT A DESIRE THAT IS WITHIN YOU THAT IS LACED WITH DOUBT, IS YEARNING." ---Abraham.
