Loving Everything Into Wholeness

When we were children and did something that was not in alignment with values of love, honor and respect for life, we may have been corrected by being shown our mis-take and redirected, giving our attention and energies towards a more positive behavior outcome. However, most of us were trained to focus on the negative behavior and pour more negative, mental and emotional energy into punishing ourselves believing that this was the way to curtail future negative behavior patterns. What if that strategy actually creates stronger neurological pathways to perpetuate more negative emotional and chemical releases, subconscious guilt and condemnation? This question lies beneath the punishment and rewards system that most conscious parents are facing.

There is a larger expression of this punishment and reward behavior modification and character molding system in our society. For example, not only are children growing up with this in their own homes, but the educational and religious systems also have powerful influences, molding their behavior, mind and emotions. And when entering into the adult work world, they are faced with mandatory performance reviews and pay raise incentives that subconsciously threatens their livelihood perpetuating the punishment and reward system.

The majority of the collective rely on an outside authority, boss or corporate entity to decide what is proper behavior and action, completely disregarding their innate, soul wisdom and inner knowledge. What if we were given the freedom to express our true nature, as powerful spiritual beings having an experience here in the physical realm to see, feel and know contrast? And, in so doing, balancing light and dark, good and bad, right and wrong on a soul level.

I challenge each and every one of us to discover our own inner wisdom. We all know when we've done something out of alignment and, or harmful. I can tell right away with a nausea feeling in my gut. And, as the saying goes, 'We are our worst critic and enemy'. We don't need someone outside of us to condemn or punish us. Those of us who are truly souls in a human form, with a heart in alignment with our creator, know right from wrong. We don't need to be corralled and managed and looked over like misfits. We have the heart and wisdom to know what is best for us. But most have been trained to deny or invalidate their own inner wisdom, spiritual intuition, direct link to God, Source, Great Spirit, whatever you want to call it; the inner knowing or compass that runs a self-regulating system.

As a collective we have been programmed to look outside of us and point out wrong doings in others, creating more negativity, more punishment and condemnation in the collective field. There are many masters and teachings that have suggested that which you condemn in another, you condemn in yourself, for we are all one spirit, one life. The subconscious guilt we hold within our own psyche has been repressed and unhealed and has us pointing fingers outside of us as a means to feel temporary relief of our own inner condemnation.

What I'm proposing is to heal our inner wounds, our inner condemnations that were perpetuated by the societal systems of control, domination, punishment and reward. And step more fully into our true wisdom and power that discerns right from wrong and good from bad. Forgive ourselves and bring our own soul essence into balance. Loving ourselves into wholeness, thereby, loving everything into wholeness; our governments, our institutions, ultimately our future.
