We all have stories to tell right?  Stories of our life, our journeys, our fears and triumphs, our loves and losses… stories of lessons learned, epiphanys, and discoveries.  The human race is unique in our ability to communicate and connect with one another through the sharing of our own story, making obvious the fact that we are not alone in our thoughts, feelings, and experiences – there are only oh-so-slight variations in timing and circumstance that make each story unique to the story-teller.

The Con

There are other stories however, unspoken stories that we all share.  These stories are engrained into the very fiber of our BEing, gently and subtly shaping our thoughts and dictating our actions on a daily basis.  We go through life, unaware for the most part, of the impact of the unspoken stories that are continuously looping in the subconcious.  Examples such stories looping in the subconscious of many females is;

I must look and act a particular way to be accepted in society

I am not equal to men to power, intelligence, or ability

Women do not have the same opportunities as men

For men, some stories look like;

As the strongest of the two sexes, it is my responsibility to take care of the weaker female

Being strong means I can’t show my sensitive side to the world

Men are superior and entitled as decision makers

A common story among everyone is;

It is my responsibility to live up to societies expectations

Remember, these are unspoken stories, playing in a continuous loop in the subconscious; we generally are not aware that they are there, nor do we recognize the conscious thought on a daily basis.   These stories were not taught by our parents in the same fashion as they taught us to have manners or how to tie our shoes…

Now Becca, it is important you realize that your role in life is to be subserviant to your male counterpart, so do everything you can to please him… here’s how you do it.  or

Billie, to get anywhere in this world, you have to be the boss and show everyone you are in control of your emotions, actions, and female counterparts… and here’s how you do it.

Make no mistake about it though, these types of stories have been taught to us over many centuries, both verbal and non-verbally through action and observation, cause and effect, and misguided intention.

The examples given here are but a few of the many unspoken stories that have accumulated over time and solidified into belief systems within our subconscious psyche, determining our thoughts, actions, and reactions in life.  In most cases, the belief system (con) is disempowering, leaving one feeling helpless, fearful, and resigned to a particular outcome in a situation.  We sometimes get a glimpse of the story after-the-fact when we consciously say to our Self,

I wish I had trusted my gut feeling, or, Why did I do that?  That’s not the real me, or, If only I could do it over again

These thoughts are clues that our actions are out of alignment with our True Nature… The Soul of our BEing.  An end result of this Con might appear as the loss of a job that you were perfectly suited for, because you felt powerless in identifying a problem that you had a solution to but didn’t act on.  Another might appear as an act of indifference toward someone you care for because you wanted to project a certain (predefined) image, which ultimately repelled the person of attraction.  Human kind are MASTERS of the Con, with others to a degree, but especially with ones Self.

The Setup

How did we arrive at the conclusions we have drawn about ourselves?  Why is it so easy to believe more in our ‘weakness’ than our strength?  What will it take to regain and awaken the unlimited power we all possess?  The answers are no secret, yet kept as such for centuries by organized powers of authority in many ‘advanced’ cultures, including Atlantis, Religion, Royalty, and Government.  Without digressing to a large degree, suffice it to say that each of the aforementioned cultures, realized to a great degree, that there was great power and control in breaking the human psyche and spirit through dominance, fear tactics, and subduing confidence (world history has shown us this through slavery, indian and jewish genocide, etc.).  Egoism and greed have been a driving force for centuries, coupled with aggression and violence against those choosing to live peacefully among nature and themselves, the dominating cultures developed strategies to weaken the peaceful resistors.

When you contemplate human behavior of dominant cultures throughout history, you get a sense of how we arrived at these conclusions of ourselves.  There has always been sublte (and not so subtle) ‘programming’ of ‘weakness’ into our psyche from the beginning of history.  As each generation is programmed and experiences life from that perspective, it passes on its lessons/stories to the next generation, and so on, and so on.  These stories have compounded as our societies have evolved, and adapted to current societal pressures, essentially engrained into our collective consciousness.

But alas, we are strong in spirit!  Our individual and collective consciousness is also very strong and increasingly aware of our innate strength and power, and is triumphant over suppression tactics.  At some point, we all say;

This is B.S. and I’m not going to take it anymore!

And this is what it takes to regain and awaken the unlimited power we ALL possess!

The Score

The veil has been lifted now and blinders are off!  Arriving at the conclusion that “this has not worked so well for me,” begs the question, what now?  Buddha once said,

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.  The mind is everything.  What we think, we become.

A common translated version of that thought is,

If you can change your mind, you can change your life ~ William James

What afterall, are stories?  They are words that stem from thought, and thought (attention) according to Quantum Physics, creates matter (reality).  This is a very simplistic explanation of a much deeper theory of course, and will leave it to you to research it further if you are so inclined.  In the interest of staying on track, I will provide one other supportive reference to the theory though, and that is via an amazing discovery made the infamous Albert Einstein in 1925, who discovered,

E=mc²:  Energy = Everything!    (For more in-depth information on this topic, visit http://www.abundanceandhappiness.com)

So in summary, the Score for us is knowing that we are NOT locked into past perceptions of ourselves or others.  We can totally transform our human experience in this lifetime by changing our Mind… it is that simple!  Do not over-think, just do!  All thought, feeling, and matter is energy, and energy changes with intention/attention.  So why not shift your attention towards what REALLY makes you happy and follow your bliss?  Yes, it is true that we generally do this in our life already to some degree, but think about all the times you attempted to follow your bliss, only to sabotage your efforts by listening to that subconscious story that popped up during the process; ultimately defeating your goal and your enthusiasm.

To succeed in achieving your bliss and reprogram that persistent story, be diligent in

1. Recognizing and acknowledging the story as it occurs
2. Give thanks for what it provided you in the past
3. Replace it with a new story that serves you NOW.  Do this by envisioning the outcome or goal you want for yourself.  See the brightest and happiest You you can imagine, Feel this vision with all of your BEing every time you come across the old story.  In time and practice, you will BE what you envision and already are!
4. Seek the mentorship of someone you emulate
5. Experience the amazing transformative power of Energy Work (I highly recommend EMF Balancing Technique and Reiki from a Certified professional)

Happiness is contagious!  The very Soul of your BEing is your True Nature, and recognizes instantly when you are aligned with your Life’s Purpose.  Happiness is the Soul’s indicator of BEing on the right path, and in being happy and following your bliss, you attract more of that same energy to you.  Remember, Energy = Everything, you attract more of what you are in life… so BE what you want most!  BE your own champion and only allow thoughts and action into your life that support your Soul, Heart, and Purpose.  BElieve in your power and ability to create exactly what you want and deserve in this life!  It is without a doubt that if you don’t BElieve it, no-one else will either ~ and you cannot create that which you don’t BElieve in.

The universe is immense and full of energy to support you and every other life form that exists, but only if you attract that energy with your own.

So, what’s your story?
