Higher Consciousness & The Authentic Self

by Sheila Z

Donny Ingram has been awakened! He feels he is now on the path to his higher self yet has many issues of self-doubt and confusion about his life path. He wonders, “if I am becoming so evolved why is it every time I go home to my family, I feel like I become a helpless, little boy? No one treats me as an adult and I seem to go right back into old patterns and behaviors. I feel as if my family does not see me as I really am, and until they do, I cannot BE who I really am. What is up with that?”

As we journey through life somewhere along the road we discover that we have patterns and behaviors that no longer serves or fits who we truly are. Are we reactive to situations and to some people? Do we feel less than we know we are?

No matter how far along the path of awakened souls we may be, if we do not make and take the journey to the authentic self, we are forever limiting our spiritual growth and the opportunities that await who we really are.

We possibly even put our physical health at risk. For every physical symptom a person may have there is an emotion at the core of it. For every reaction and behavior there is a longstanding silent instruction being carried out. The challenge is this instruction may have been placed deep inside our subconscious by source figures in our lives who were doing the best they knew with what they had to work with. Most of these false triggers are multigenerational. That means that not only our parents and other source figures but grandparents and even before who were also doing the best they could with the material of that time they had to work with. We may not even realize how toxic some of these emotions may be to us. Below are a few examples taken from real people just like you and I.

When I meet somebody new, I think I am being so careful not to choose someone who yells like my father did. So how is it I always end up with someone that has a temper and someone who does not see the real me?

Madeleine Page, a successful marketing executive wonders why she seems to dislike certain people? She feels as if it is not really herself that is so judgmental. So where is this coming from. She says, “My mother passed away over ten years ago and I am still making choices as if she were telling me what choices to make It is weird; sometimes I feel so alienated from myself. What is going on?”

Deep beneath these statements, there is much hidden anguish, sadness and confusion. We cannot stand in our own shoes until we can tell our own beliefs apart from those of our parents and other source figures in our lives. The Authentic Self is waiting, just beneath all this preprogrammed “stuff”. Core Empowerment is essential for us to set ourselves free. Core Empowerment is about discovery and recovery of the true self. It is leaving home and coming home at the same time. When we make the time and do the work, we take an active role in returning ourselves to balance, to a place where we are standing in our own shoes and to a place of profound understanding of our history and future. We come to a place of the Authentic self. It is essential to be our authentic selves as we travel the path of higher consciousness. As we heal and release the past we free ourselves to be who we really are.

Today is an extraordinary time to be on this planet. A time when we are feeling the push of evolution. There are countless symptoms so many are experiencing. It is comforting to know that when we stop our busy day that fills every moment of our being we can travel within and seek the wisdom of the ages.

There are many ways to reclaim our Authentic self. It is a step that once taken our awareness level will shift and we will feel a pulling to go on and do the healing necessary to step into who we really are.

Make no mistake, this is profound work and will enhance the quality of life for all who venture outside the preverbal “box”. When we shift our awareness and become our heart space we change every aspect of the world around us. Our view becomes clearer.

There are many steps we can begin on our own. Watch for the opportunities to be your higher self, they are all around us and sometimes we are so busy we just pass right by. Stop and listen to your inner voice when it is yearning to practice “random acts of kindness”. Take some time in the morning and evening to be grateful for who you are and where you are. There is a blessing in every event. It may not always be easy to see but trust that it is there, allow your heart to discover it and your world will be changed for the better in that very moment.

The vibration of being grateful is among the highest resonation frequencies. The more you are in this feeling the closer you become to your higher self. Keep your eyes open for the many miracles that occur each day.

Meditation is a fast tract to our authentic self. It is a way to journey where we can access and experience healing on a cellular level. It is in these quiet times that we are embraced by our highest self. Remember we are the divine expression. The journey to the higher consciousness begins with the journey to the authentic self.
