    I think the main positive intention behind the judgment is to validate my ego, to protect it. There’s a strong identification with myself as an individual in competition with or comparison against others, and whether the judgment I form tells a story of inadequacy or righteousness, its meant to strengthen that false sense of separation between…[Read more]

    • Yes, great awareness of your pattern. And I know that who you really are is the Authentic Self. This pattern keeps you from being your Authentic Self. Any objects to being your Authentic Self that you could think of?

    I notice I spend most of my day in thought, and that most of the thoughts I have are a form of judgment. Some of the judgments are so subtle I barely recognize them (like fear can be a type of judgment). Others are quite obvious. So, yes, I’d say I spend more time in judgment than I was previously mindful of. And this includes, in fact is…[Read more]

  • I appreciate my job for:

    – The security it provides for my family

    – The role it played in my awakening and the path I’m on now

    – The role it played in me meeting my wife and ultimately allowing me to create my family

    – The way it forced me to come partially out of my shell and step up more powerfully for myself than I ever had before (still…[Read more]

    Thanks everybody! I’ll admit it was exciting when it came to me.

    I love that! “Who you are as a person is more important than what you are doing in your life. Let your spirit be enough!” thank you 🙂

    Another part of my 3 foot toss will be to stop connecting my worth to the job I hold or the education I’ve reached.

  • My 3 foot toss around career is going to be to release the judgment I hold that it is a dead end career and that I’m not qualified or worthy enough to do anything else. I’m going to search the government website at work and identify any possible areas that may be of interest to me without judging how much work or education I would need to…[Read more]

  • I’m feeling compassionate towards myself as I release some beliefs I had around toxic masculinity that I was allowing to define my experience of myself. As well as compassion, I’m feeling curious about why I’m frustrated with myself. I’m not allowing myself the dignity of my own process? Or I’ve got too much going on and finding balancing…[Read more]

    • I love hearing you acknowledge your feeling good about the direction you are steering your life. There’s a lot to feel good about Wes! Who you are as a person is more important than what you are doing in your life. Let your spirit be enough!

    So much comes up around career. I’m in a job that doesn’t serve my highest good and for which I judge myself. Although it doesn’t necessarily violate my values, it could, and it doesn’t align with my values anyway. And the low vibration negativity and victim consciousness that comes with the territory in my job can often be soul crushing. My…[Read more]

    I think my positive intention for holding onto shame is that I use it to explain myself to others when I lack the ability to do or know something I should know. I rely on my old story to justify myself in the hopes that others who had normal experiences growing up will partially understand. Instead, I’m going to own myself as I am in the moment…[Read more]

    • Healing yourself is about resolving the misunderstandings instead of standing by and affirming them. Again, your learning seems to be about loving yourself no matter what. Great process here…

  • I found a new journaling app called writeaday a couple weeks ago. The idea behind the app is that it contains visual color gradients to encourage you to write short entries throughout the day as things come up rather than writing for a long period at the end of the day. Another feature of it besides tagging keywords that are easily searchable…[Read more]

    • Lovely…keep releasing the shame every time it comes up. It’s a pattern now for you so it will continue to surface. Your job is to love yourself through it, keep releasing it and align with your truth.

    Thanks Stephanie! It’s appreciated 😀

    Thanks Bev. Means a lot knowing that.

  • For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been heavily invested in the old stories I believed about myself and that I’d bought into all my life. Been resisting writing in the group.  I’ve tried but ended up judging everything I wrote and erasing it.   This won’t be any different but I’m going to send whatever I come up with just to get myself back into it… A…[Read more]

    I’m having difficulty and resistance stepping into myself as a leader. I never saw myself as any sort of leader until I became a father and that’s still a struggle, trying to guide my kids through a world that literally still bewilders and frightens me…. Things that are working are positive projection which is such a great turnaround from the…[Read more]

    • Always remember to give yourself the dignity of your own process too Wes. And never forget to love yourself through this process.

    Hey guys. I’ve tried both on my phone browser and on a computer and I can’t locate the May content any where. All I see are March and April when I check the lab. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thanks

    Einstein for relentless pursuit of the truth with an open mind and willingness to be wrong.  For him, science and spirituality weren’t mutually exclusive and I consider him a pioneer in awakening consciousnesses.  Gandhi for his peaceful, nonviolent resistance to unjust laws and to British rule.  He was quite literally the change he wanted to se…[Read more]

    Unresolved shame, I think. I was born highly sensitive, which I think makes me more susceptible to taking on highly disproportionate shame for minor things I did or in many cases, things I bear no responsibility for (ex. Being a man and therefore feeling responsible for the evil other men do). My ego is built almost entirely on shame and because…[Read more]

    • This is HUGE! I totally agree. You’ve been defending your false self instead of defending the true self. Defending isn’t really the right word but what is coming up right now. Stand up for is perhaps better. Stand up for your true self, for your Authentic Self, for your Loving Essence, for your spiritual being. Stand up for your truth.

  • While cleaning the house and waiting for my wife to wake up for mothers day after working nights, I decided to check out the library and watched the awakening worthiness webinar (which, apparently, I attended live and don’t recall and only know I attended because at the end, Bev addressed a comment I made). So it was my second time watching it…[Read more]

    • Lol, yes…it’s good to watch things over and over again because we get new nuggets and sometimes we learn that we attended live and didn’t even know it!
      My self-concept is a choice. I used to be unconscious and connecting to my victimhood all the time. It defined me, and I didn’t know who I was without it. However, I did know that I couldn’t…[Read more]

    The larger part of me totally believes this is the case. Dropping the doubt is proving difficult but I’m getting there
