Find your True Personal Power

Are you living up to your potential? How do you know? Is there a place in your brain where your potential is measured?

How do you know you are capable of something if you haven’t already done it? There is an inner knowing, right? And this inner knowing knows it is possible and the only thing stopping us is our mind which is most likely full of fear, and clinging to the known which is it’s comfort zone.

Before we explore those questions any further, take some time to determine the areas of your life in which you feel uncomfortable about not coming closer to realizing your potential.

Perhaps you could be a better role model in your family and that causes you anguish. You might wish you were living your life’s purpose, so, merely carving out a living is uncomfortable. Some people may yearn to experience a deeply loving relationship and the absence of that is causing pain.

Now look at those areas of your life where you have determined that you would like to be more intentional about realizing your potential and take time to develop a very CLEAR vision about what you would like to manifest. Please…think BIG! What you envision may seem impossible but what is impossible by our way of thinking is very possible when we get our thinking out of the way. It was only 200 years ago that you would have been burned at the stake in Salem, MA upon the suggestion that you planned to fly to London, England in the morning.

Why do you need to get your thinking out of the way? The answer to that is simple. Your thinking got you here! Albert Einstein said that we can’t solve a problem with the same mind that caused it. You need to expand your consciousness in order to broaden your perspective and find a creative and evolutionary solution.

The intellect can only process one thought at a time while the body is processing six trillion thoughts per second. Clearly there is an intelligence that is far greater than the rational mind. By methodically processing one thought at a time one cannot hope to realize the same creative solution that this vast intelligence could conjure! You need to shift your awareness from the stimulus of an active mind and tap into that silent intelligence through meditation.

Because we spend all of our time (awareness) in the rational mind and the physical body, we are not aware of the silent intelligence underlying all of our activities either physical or subtle (thoughts & emotions). It is as if that intelligence does not even exist. We unconsciously choose a very limited power (the rational mind) as our default for all problem solving and realization of desire. It never occurs to us that we have an astoundingly powerful resource at our beck and call. Therefore, we overexert ourselves trying to realize our desires and begin to experience the debilitating effects of stress.

What’s worse is we are out of balance. This is also a significant source of stress. A most significant part of our being is not in our awareness at all. What’s missing? ME, I am missing when I am cut off from that silent intelligence. We are not our body. If you were your body which body would you be? The toddler you once were, the woman you are now or the 98 year old woman you will one day be? Every cell in your body is replaced many times in your lifetime. No aspect of you is static. So, one cannot point to you in space and time and say there she is.

You also are not your thoughts, feelings or emotions either. They are constantly changing. Thoughts come and go; emotions come and go. Your intellect grows and develops. Your personality evolves over time. Your ego identification of who you are morphs and changes as well. Most likely you feel very differently about who you are today versus who you thought you were in your mid twenties. This leaves us with a dilemma. If you are not your thoughts and emotions or your physical body or the roles that you play, who are you? The answer to that question is: You are the one having the thoughts and physical experiences. That one never changes. At some level, you know you are the same being who had those school age experiences and more recently adult experiences. There is an aspect of you that transcends every momentary experience. That aspect of you is silent and has no particular location in space or time. It is the silent intelligence holding all of you together. It is the silent source giving rise to the thoughts and the physical body. This means you are the thoughts and the body in the moment; but you are also the ongoing source of all of those thoughts and new cells forming! You are that exponentially more powerful intelligence! You have hypnotized yourself to believe you are separate from it. Therefore, YOU are missing from your life. This cannot be good.

Albert Einstein tells us how this hypnosis happened. He described intellectually what has been known intuitively for five thousand years. We are energy and information vibrating at the speed of light. There is nothing solid under the sun. This is how we have been able to develop fax machines, satellite waves and the internet. Materialism was just a superstition. There is no such thing as matter. What we call “reality” is just quantum soup thickening up here and there.

Our nervous system is not able to process things at the speed of light so we miss so much of what is around us. When the information is vibrating densely our nervous system begins to detect the “congestion” and we experience the cloud of atoms as matter. The atoms appear to our nervous system in ‘form-ation’ and we develop the illusory notion that something is solid and separate from us. That is only an illusion like the movies. When we go to the movies the still frames are moving so quickly that they appear fluid. We know it is not “real.” Then when we walk away from the movies, we look around and believe that what we are seeing is real. We make the mistake of trusting the same senses that tell us the earth is flat and that we are standing on stationary ground. Our senses offer us a very constricted and limited view of reality.

We are a mass of energy and information vibrating at the speed of light. We are the sum total of sub-atomic particles vibrating on and off. This means that you are both the on and the off. You do not see the breaks in between every on and the off because it is happening so quickly. Therefore, it appears to our nervous system as though everything we see is always on. It’s as if the off does not even exist. This is the problem. We are addicted to the on because it is so stimulating and therefore do not experience ourselves as the off at all. Something is certainly missing in our awareness! We develop a sense of seeking wholeness or yearning for something to make us feel satisfied. We only look to the on because that is all that we know. We will never find the answer in the on or the known. It is the unknown silent source of every on that is missing in our awareness. We need to move our awareness from the stimulus to the silence if we are ever to truly know ourselves and the powerful source of everything we experience (which are one and the same).

This off is a void referred to in Quantum Physics as the Unified Field. It is a void pregnant with the potential for everything that ever was, is or will be. Clearly we are not separate from it. We are that field of pure potential. That is why we know we are capable of so very much more. We never realize that potential because we are trapped in space and time (the on) relying on my limited rational mind. When we learn how to surrender from the hold that the material (illusory) world and your thinking has on you, you begin to tap into that power referred to by so many prophets, avatars and spiritual guides. ~ Laura Nash
