NOT BORN TO BECOME AN IDEAL - BUT AUTHENTIC

"Many of us on the spiritual path are striving so hard to match the IDEAL that we have in our minds of what an enlightened person looks like and dresses like and says and thinks and feels (or even what an enlightened person shouldn't say and think and feel), that we have forgotten ourselves. We have forgotten the perfection in our individual ordinary eccentricity. You were not born to become an ideal. You were born to learn how to embody your true, authentic self."

The vibration of a romantic relationship between a man and a woman that is balanced, committed and authentic.

Feeling lost is a common problem amongst people today. And it is a common problem for one reason, people have been taught to ignore their internal guidance systems. And what is your internal guidance system exactly? Your feelings and your emotions. Think of your emotions like a compass or a navigation system in your car that tells you everything you need to know about yourself and about your desires and about navigating the world and making choices. When you ignore your emotions, or prioritize other things than the way you feel, it is like going on an expedition in uncharted territory with no compass. 
Anyone who is lost suffers from a deeply suppressed story of self-rejection. And when we are in a space of self-rejection, we can only attract people who reject the truth of who we are. This means, if we are gay, we will be be surrounded by religious fundamentalists who hate gays. This means if we are afraid of intimacy, we will attract all kinds of people who need us and pull at us for intimacy. This means if we crave intimacy, we will attract all kinds of people who are independent and whom don't want to give their time and energy to us. This means, if you are an artist, you will be surrounded by people who are practical nine to five workers, who constantly put down irrational, impractical, irresponsible people who think it's appropriate to follow their heart. You get the point... But the sad part is, because of this rejection that we feel from the people around us (which ultimately stems from our own rejection of our own truth as children in order to fit into the world we were raised in), we begin to feel as if there is something fundamentally wrong with us.
