Worthiness, Mavericks & God
It’s important to know where you are in your journey of awakening so you understand the struggles, challenges, pitfalls and goals associated with the section the journey you’re experiencing.
You’ll know where you are based on what feels most resonant to you.
Part of my purpose is to continually bring forth a bridge of understanding not only what may be relevant to where you are, but to also show where it’s leading.
My intention in doing this is twofold:
One, it helps you pinpoint where you are in the journey so you understand the goal of this phase of the path, along with the challenges that come with it.
It orients you on your soul’s goal while giving you a broader understanding of the bigger picture.
And secondly, it helps you understand why something that’s relevant to you may not resonate with someone else (and vice versa), which builds understanding through compassionate wisdom.
It keeps your ego from judging or becoming frustrated with someone who doesn’t get what is currently resonating with you (or challenging you).
And it keeps your ego from feeling superior if someone is dealing with something you’ve already moved through.
You’re not fully progressing on the path of awakening if you’re experiencing any sense of superiority for “feeling further along”.
For me, the expansion and deepening of compassionate wisdom is the name of the game as this is moving deeper into unity, instead of further into separation.
Wherever you find yourself in the journey is perfect.
What matters is that you tune into your particular soul’s goal and align to that trajectory.
As an example, lessons associated with boundaries play different roles depending on where you find yourself on the path of awakening.
In the beginning, boundaries are deeply needed to support you in knowing your self-worth by healing your relationship with yourself (transforming beliefs and behaviors based in unworthiness). You’re using them to create space to grow and evolve.
Your ability to set boundaries is an act of self-love, because you’re learning to say No to obligations and behaviors you previously agreed to from beliefs in unworthiness.
It changes how you show up by raising your standards around what is and isn’t acceptable to you in all areas of your experience, which positively impacts the relationships you create with others and the endeavors you choose.
As your baseline belief in worthiness is established, you’ll begin to see that your vibrational state is naturally setting boundaries regarding the types of relationships and endeavors you call into your life (and keep at bay).
From this place of already knowing your worthiness, you may take on a role as Maverick where you recognize your purpose/mission is to continually push barriers and expand (from worthiness) into more of what’s possible.
In this stage, boundaries are needed to focus your energy, attention and efforts on maximizing your personal impact around your purpose/mission.
Learning becomes about elevation, calibration, precision and refinement (as opposed to knowing your self-worth since this is already your baseline).
And in a later stage of the path, boundaries become irrelevant as the soul’s goal is oriented on dissolving into God, where “the person” (or the maker/doer) is no more.
Boundaries are fully released (dissolved) in knowing You Are The Source that cannot be drained, no matter who “drinks” from your energy.
Depending on your soul assignment in this life, you may be moving through more than one of the above scenarios.
But, as you can see, different teachings are relevant to different stages of path.
If you relate to being a Maverick but judge someone who is still coming to know their own worthiness (and likely lives a life conducive to that learning which could be quite different from the teachings and choices you’re drawn to), you’re overall soul growth will still be stunted by that judgment. Your mission may not be stunted, but your soul’s movement along the overall trajectory of learning will need to release that judgment before it passes on to the next phase.
And if your soul has the goal of learning about your own worthiness but you’re coveting the life of a Maverick (because these people are often admired in the collective) by spiraling into thoughts around thinking your life isn’t what it should be, you’re missing the opportunities your soul has set up for you to learn and grow from.
(If you’re truly pulled to be a Maverick but are bumping up against self-doubt and lack, that’s a different story as these are challenges meant to be moved through in order to be a Maverick).
If your soul has set dissolving into God as the goal but you still feel partially pulled and excited by Mavericks, that could be the part of ego that still needs to dissolve in order to meet your soul’s goal. It could be the exact conflict you need to resolve in order to expand into greater awareness.
Or it could be that you’re still meant to be a Maverick.
You have to dig deep in order to truly know what is right for your soul.
These are just examples. The path isn’t as cut and dried as meticulously moving through the examples I shared.
They’re just meant to help you understand that each of our soul’s have made a plan of learning for us in this life and it’s most efficient to align with our soul’s plan vs wishing we had someone else’s journey.
I share this all to build a greater shared understanding of each another.
And so that those who have gone a little ahead in particular aspects of the journey can turn back around and offer a helping hand (or, at least, hold compassionate understanding in their heart), instead judgment or frustration.
Always Shine Brightly,
