I haven’t felt called to
blog for a while but this morning I had an insight about myself that I felt
might be beneficial to share.
A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to take a course from
Carolyn Myss regarding archetypes.
According to Carolyn we each come into this life with certain archetypal
energies (examples: mother, father,
queen, king, knight, pioneer, artist, monk, librarian, detective, etc.) which
we use to transcend patterns and beliefs which are outdated and ready for
transformation. Carolyn has “created” a
system through which one can identify these archetypes as well as work with
them in order to release the weight of that which our consciousness has
outgrown and move more fully into our own powerful authentic nature. The knowledge of archetypes has proven to be
incredibly useful for me in my own journey toward authenticity.
For the past several years, I would classify my path as one
of intense purification. I have removed myself from the world in many
ways and experienced the loss or release of much of the material. I have spent much time contemplating my
beliefs around a lot of things including money.
In removing myself from a world that is focused on money, I have had the
amazing experience of what it feels like to be without. The panic, anxiousness, concern, guilt, worry
and fear have been intense at times yet I would not change a thing. The experience and acknowledgement of these
feelings which I have feared for so long has been freeing, expansive and
transcendental in many ways. This being
said, the new me is ready for new experiences.
I have wondered for quite some time why I haven’t attracted
anything materially. I felt like I was
open and ready but almost anything I “put out there” has been responded to with
silence. This can be quite disturbing. This morning, I realized that a core
archetype of mine has been a major definer of the lens through which I am
viewing and creating my world. In fact,
when I identified “her” it was like an enormous cork popped and huge amounts of
light were freed and shining. The
archetype was none other than the monk/nun.
I was finally able to “see” her influence. She is dedicated to God and all decisions and
experiences in many ways have been filtered through her lens. In her loyalty to the Divine, she denies the material. She sees the physical as “bad” and something
to overcome. She lives in “poverty” as
she believes this is in alignment with her allegiance to God. What she has to offer is free as she lives to serve the Divine and this should be done freely.
And for her, giving is everything
while receiving is not acceptable.
This was a huge recognition for me. The lens of the “nun” is really outdated when
compared with where my consciousness is in this moment. There is a huge religious conflict that has been begging for acknowledgement in
order for me to update and move forward. I have a great respect and honoring for this
archetype of mine. I feel her…I feel her
dedication…and I understand. And at the
same time, my consciousness around God has greatly expanded. For me, God/Consciousness is joy, excitement,
experience, acceptance and all-inclusive.
There is no separation between spiritual, physical, emotional, mental,
etc. I am my dreams and my physical creations. Life is sacred....and Life is an opportunity for Consciousness to
experience form. The physical is an
important part of the experience. Sacrifice
and denial of the material are no longer requisite for my soul’s
experience. Allowing myself to receive is part of the joy and
experience of life. My service to God –
as an expression of God – is to experience life to its fullest; to express myself into this world; to consciously
create my experience; to share the beauty of Consciousness through my unique form; to receive and
experience abundance of all kinds; and enjoy the material as it too is of
God. I can be dedicated without
suffering, struggle and lack. I can
enjoy my opportunity in the form of “Karrie” - the form I have chosen for this
life’s opportunity and experience.
Whew!
This is a huge recognition for me and one that I will be contemplating
further. I can already sense the impact
this realization is having on the path I am now
creating.
OK! I’m off to begin
my visioning of something new…. Yahoo!
Much love,
