Everything is beautiful. Do not doubt that even you fit the bill, for yes, even you are beautiful energy. Everyone is. Energy is the absence of judgment, without attachment to your human goodness or badness. Energy simply is. And it is beautiful. And so are you, beautiful energy.

Continuity is called for. Continuity requires constancy and commitment to one’s selected path of heart. To stay on a continuous path of growth and change one must call forth from the inner self all that one is. Nerves of steel and unbending focused intent, combined with heart-centeredness and continuous commitment to what is right, produce the necessary energy for change, but change will only come about by constantly sticking to one’s decision and making changes that support it. Today offers another opportunity to continue on a committed path of heart. Just do it.

Soulbyte for Thursday April 5, 2018

Make today count, because it really does. Today matters too. Today is the day you have been waiting for, the next step on your spiritual/human journey to wholeness, the day that will carry you forward in the direction of your desires. Embrace yourself and your journey through life. Find your two feet firmly on the ground and take the next step. Today really does matter. And keep positivity in your mind, in your heart, and on your tongue, for you really matter too.

Chuck’s Place: Total Acceptance

Like the burning off of morning fog, total acceptance seeks clarity…

The bottom line for total healing is total acceptance. The bottom line for completion is total acceptance. The bottom line of preparation for one’s definitive journey in infinity is total acceptance.

What is total acceptance? It begins with total knowing. We needn’t remember every detail, but if we harbor a wish not to know what we have experienced then our lives revolve around maintaining not knowing. Something that we experienced still feels more powerful than our ability to assimilate it so we keep it at bay, and there we must stay.

There is no negative judgment for this predicament, but it defines our life no matter where we are: we remain fragmented, our wholeness contained in dissociation. That becomes our karma, the path that solves the riddle of our resistance to integration. When we solve that riddle we move deeper into acceptance.

When we can allow ourselves to fully know the truth of our lives we open to the emotions and sensations of our dreaded experiences. The energy of emotion must be felt and released through the sensations of the body’s channels, whether that be in movement, tear, sound, or breath.

When the dust of expired emotion settles we are left with the facts of our experience, but facts can be clouded by beliefs. Before we can view the facts from a broadened perspective we must address the limits of our beliefs.

Often simply allowing ourselves the discourse of sharing our dreaded secrets begins an updating process that clarifies a long held misinterpretation. Part of this is developmental. Often our unexamined beliefs were encased in distortion by our young minds. The encounter of these naive beliefs with our adult power of understanding frees us from the misunderstandings of the past.

Of course this then throws us directly into the moralistic hands of  judgment. Adults with their firmly entrenched superegos must contend with the guilt of their imperfections and transgressions, with the fullness of their human nature. Total acceptance requires that we totally accept the full truth of what we have done, of what we have experienced.

Whether something is right or wrong, whether it should or shouldn’t have happened has no bearing here. If something happened it is a fact of personal history. To embrace our whole selves we must embrace the full truth of all our experiences. To embrace we must fully digest everything. The unacceptable of my experience is completely acceptable as a fact of my life because it truthfully is a real part of my life that can never be erased.

Total acceptance demands complete digestion of the facts of an experience. To have negative judgements about an experience may be a necessary part of that digestive process, but we must become freed of the clouds of judgment to know with utter clarity every nuance of our experience.

This is the knowing that is delivered to total acceptance: this is the fullness of the experience I had; I totally accept it without emotional residue, without judgment.

Total acceptance is squaring with the facts of our lives. Reconciled and freed we are fully energetically ready for the next adventure.

All aboard,

Chuck
