Living Your Truth - To Be True To Yourself is the Work of a Lifetime!

1.  How we live our experience of Truth determines our authenticity.

• We may have had an epiphany, a glimpse of how things really are, and intellectually we “get it”, but can we put it into practice?
• Can we bring it back into life and can we “be” what we know. 
• The process of coming out of our heads and into out hearts into the present moment, is the path toward authenticity.

2.  You cannot think your way to authenticity – you must feel it.

• And in order to feel, the mind must be quiet.
• When the mind is quiet, the heart opens and finally we are able to sit squarely in the middle of our life, to feel it, rather than think about it.
• If the mind never stops, you can never be authentic.

3.  When the mind is frantic, you hear all those voices in your head other than your own.

• To hear your own voice, to live your own life – not the life of your mother, your father, your partner, your boss – all the other voices have to stop.
• This is the process, the path to authenticity.
• Only through discipline and meditation does the mind become quiet.

4.  The more real you become the more potent your energy becomes.

• People pick it up; you radiate.
• A person’s energy is the vibration of their consciousness.
• Your energy goes out into the world before you.  It is the meter that pulls to it like energy.

5.  But being authentic takes work. It’s not just kicking back and saying “I’m’ just going be myself and let it rip.” 

• The price of authenticity is awareness. And awareness is consciousness in action.
• Being conscious means you have to be willing to stay awake when often it’s a whole lot easier to go to sleep.
• This is big stuff and not for the weak at heart. A lot of folks talk the talk but how many walk the walk?

Turning old patterns around is like turning around a jet plane - it takes time, but once it is turned in the new direction, it has just as much speed and power as it had when it was going the wrong way. Stay away from the old dysfunctional stuff and gradually your life will change.
