To accept who you are and where you are is the first step on the path of fully accepting yourself in your totality. Your body, mind and spirit are a collection of forces, that all interact with each other, creating the physical vehicle, your human body. You use this vessel to interact with the environment around you, to draw out experiences in this world of manifested form.
These experiences mold and shape the character of your person or identity. Because of the diversity of experience here on Mother Earth, we have various beliefs and thought systems to choose from. In turn, we have various identities and persons spread out all over the world. In combing through all of the teaching materials available, you will find various ways of explaining the mysteries of the universe and the ideas we call GOD.
With these diversity of options, you can sometimes get confused about which way to follow and what is the right path. This is the point where your intuition needs to be explored and lived. By looking inside of yourself and listening to what your inner being is telling you, you will find that you will always be steered in the right direction. At this point, you need to differentiate between your ego or lower self and your intuition or your Higher SELF.
The difference that I can see is that when my ego is talking there is concern with my individual self or my identity as Dwayne Chamble. There is separation between who I am and who other people are. When I am listening to my Higher SELF there is no identity known as Dwayne Chamble, but I am viewing myself and all of creation as one. There is no separation between me and any other aspect of creation. The Higher SELF is viewing all things from the oneness and unity of love as expressed through light. Any inquires into my Higher SELF are answered in a universal nature, always bringing me back to the place of oneness and love of all of creation.
From this place of observation, you can look at life and all of its paradoxes and inconsistencies and learn the meaning behind the diversity and randomness. Getting in touch with your Higher SELF will lead you to the road of acceptance and trusting yourself in all aspects of your experience.
In this life when you are viewing things from a place of separation and finite existence known to you as being born, growing old and dying, as well as when you are viewing life from a place of oneness and infinite existence, you will find that getting in touch with yourself will lead you to trusting yourself in all matters. Once you realize that you are both having this finite experience as well as having infinite experiences, you will see that the path is always set for you, and will always lead you in the direction you should go.
This acceptance of life as it comes will take you to a place of total trust in your abilities, even when you do not see the desired results. No matter what shape or form this life takes, you will know that you are in the perfect place at the perfect time. Every moment of now is the perfect moment to live in the unity and peace of all of your being. No matter what road you decide to go down, it’s all good. You will find that if you choose the easy way or the hard way, both are still the way.
Acceptance of yourself is not a partial acceptance of only the things you deem to be good and proper. It is also accepting the dark side of your personality, the parts of your life that you do not share with anyone else, the things that make you ashamed and feel bad about yourself. Know today, reading this right now, that you are forgiven for any past bad deeds and right now you have the power and the choice to choose how you want to be. The choice is always yours and the opportunities or catalyst for change will always appear, to help you come into the place of knowing yourself. Sometimes when you win you lose, and sometimes when you lose you win.
Go forth today with encouragement and peace, knowing that all things work together for the good. All things work together, the good and the bad, the light and the dark, the ups and the downs, are all here working together to bring you into alignment with your true SELF.
We are all one, and trusting yourself through acceptance will break down the barrier of belief that we are separate from one another, and lead you into the communal place of peace and joy in life’s variations and differences. All roads lead to love.
Peace be upon you.
Dwayne Chamble
