PARADIGM

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” — Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

This statement stands as a prime example of epistemology, to which philosophers use to refer to our internal construct or internal belief about existence or the world around us as either literal or figurative. We as humans adopt a metaphysical persona to conceal our true self within for a myriad of reasons (trauma, disassociation with the self, departure from reality, or to so to speak creating a façade to not reveal our true authentic genuine self). When we construct the illusion or the trompe-l’œil it either represents a shield or a form of escapism from our existence around us. The inherent truth is that we need to accept who we are without consequence, bring forth our genuine nature, pay no mind to what others construct about ourself, and most importantly live our true authentic purpose. You can not be someone else, you can not mimic others achievements, you must be true to you. No amount of smoothing out the fondant can conceal the cracks within the interior foundation. Loss of self represents cracks in your foundation. You cannot live life living anothers process, path, dream, or vision, you have to stay true to your lived reality, meaning your internal construct. Unconditional love and unconditional acceptance cannot occur when we accept ourselves truly. Embrace who you truly are without dramatics, creating veneers, façades, or shielding. Give yourself the permission to be vulnerable and open to all experiences that life has to offer, that is the essence of life. You are either trapped in a bell jar, reflecting within the looking glass, placing a magnifying glass on your intricate delicate or fragile core wounds, or are embracing your spectrum of kaleidoscope of colours being your true self.

Within our imagination, within the minds eye, we construct realities as a coping mechanism to navigate the complexities of life. Life for some has become insulated and insular due to traumatic experiences or unresolved core roots which stem from fear. Whether these have manifested within our past lives which are then represented or presented within our present or within this lifetime of our existence we have encountered severe metaphysical cuts that force us to rationalize that we have no other recourse than to be cautious within our life forcing reasoning, rationality, and practicality to the side. When one operates out of their deep core wounds, they then operate based on their autopilot responses resulting from trauma. The core root is, when we encounter another within this lifetime, do we really fully understand the intricacies of their existence? If someone wills or chooses to close the door or deny access to fully embrace who they are out of fear that they will not be tolerated, accepted, supported, loved, seen, or valued, we may be receiving their illusionary construct or their shield that they chose to present to the world.

The dangers of adoption of a false self or barrier will lead to further fragmentation as the authentic genuine self is shielded due to an external fear of the outside influence and the world within itself. What if for one moment, we all decided to strip those layers to unveil the magnificence and beauty within? If we restrict access to experiences, we hinder and impede our evolutionary and ascension process. To be fluid and to experience life within its entirety it is essential to remove restraints, restrictions or impediments to unveil or reveal the obstacles that are burrowed deep within our soul. When you face or challenge your fear, you then learn self reflection, self love, self care, self respect and most importantly self recovery. If we are not honest with ourselves about what hurts us deep within our core, how then do we fully understand or comprehend how to ask for help? The issue is, core roots are like quagmires or gyres, it is like paddling through mud in a canoe, you can mask the pain for a limited amount of time until it becomes unbearable and it starts to fester or manifest in other aspects of life.

Our environment is crucial during recovery and the more pressure you place on the self to not be authentic or to shield your genuine intentions, dreams, visions, or goals, the more you will become paralyzed and stagnated within your existence. If you construct a life based on lies, it will tumble down like a house of cards, because every layer is not within the intention of your highest good or moral principles, it is based on a veneer or façade which has been meticulously constructed. If you do not understand yourself, or you deny yourself the right or privilege to love yourself or trust yourself, how then can you expect to fully have a functioning loving relationship within your orbit? It is a cascading illusion and once you recognize that you may not be holding the pen to your life due to allowing external forces control your very essence or existence, only then, will you recognize the power of choice. Our choices define us, and what we allow within our life or surround ourselves with becomes our existence. If you seek freedom, you may be feeling restricted. If you feel anger, ask yourself, what within this particular circumstance or within your construct that you may need to change? — the issues that angers our core within represents unresolved wounds that are now being repeated for our learning experience. If you deny a lesson, you will be faced with it in other forms. If we feel tired, are you forcing yourself to be on overdrive without any rest? And simply if you are sad or depressed, what is it about life that you cannot bear or swallow any further? You need to be real with yourself, and stop looking externally when you need to remain within peace to reflect internally. Chaos around you — ask yourself, what ideology or principles have you allowed or accepted? Change starts with yourself.

We as humans have a propensity to conceal, hide, veil, or shield ourselves from the outside world. We are paradoxical in nature as we can be both introverted and extroverted at the same period of time dependant on the frequency of the situations we may encounter. The main focal point that needs to be addressed is why we stagnate our own progress or movement or deny access to experiences which facilitate and foster our growth within our existence.

Are we truly seeing the true self? Do we stop bearing our soul due to an experience or fragmentation? Have we become addicted to encrypting our hard drive to not allow anyone to come within our circumference? Are the walls we build for self preservation or to serve as permanent barriers because we are not able to function within our lived experiences or society? Have these illusionary boundaries or barriers disabled or caused impediments on our progress within life? Is it fostered by fear of safety? Are we denying access to those that may help us out of our comfort zone, our sacred shell, that we have nestled into for comfort and refuge?

When one experiences fragmentation of the soul we either become insular or begin to take it out on our external environment. So often many will criticize those that are overweight or are covering themselves with multiple layers of clothing. What is the core root? Protection. When we are unable to allow ourselves to feel vulnerability we will either metaphysically shield ourselves or we will place a protective barrier around ourselves through weight. Nourish your body, and allow yourself the permission to feel love and comfort. Your body does not determine your worth, and no amount of dieting or shielding will prevent the internal dialogue and work that is needed for your recovery. It is imperative during your recovery to rest, rejuvinate, resolve, and rebuild within your own pace or incremental time period. Recovery is essential because it gives us a perspective, a hiatus, a reset so to speak to really recognize or comprehend where your alignment is within yourself. We cannot look to fix others until we have fully recovered from our own internal trauma. You need to ask yourself, within life do you feel dismounted, dismantled, disabled, or pushed off of your pedestal? Are you allowing your ego to overtake or eclipse your progress? What has harmed you to your core? Do you recognize that you are able, willing, and courageous enough to restore yourself back to perfect health? Believe in yourself again.

How we choose to navigate life, is dependant on the experiences, circumstances, and situations that shaped our moral fabric or foundations of our life. It is essential to integrate the knowledge, wisdom, advice, guidance, and extracted fundamental lessons however, those experiences that remain buried within our construct that caused deep unresolved core wounds or fragmentation of our essence or soul is what we truly need to examine. When one masters the self, you master the mind.

Why do we place ourselves into situations that cause us further turbulence or conflict? The answer ? When the soul is lost, when we steer away from our aligned path, or we intake negative constructs, repeat negative patterns that are detrimental, or allow situations to overtake our freedom, we then set a standard for what we accept, and that within itself teaches others what we feel we deserve. The energy, time, frequency, vibrations that we allow or focus on is what we will receive. Only once the lesson is learned do we experience true emancipation.

We have to ask ourselves , what was a period time that caused significant damage to our psyche or construct that forever changed how we perceived life around us or shook our moral foundation to its core? Why do we give power to the past? Do we as individuals place a protective barrier around ourselves to shield from the outside world , why? Boundaries? Inability to open our heart, mind and soul once again? Why do we self inflict a negative construct or stereotype upon ourselves, it is like injecting negative frequency into our mind, body, soul, and heart. We need to become more transparent, and take full recognition and accountability for how we feel within. If we then seek to blame our external environment for the way we feel within, we will perpetuate a cascading effect of blame and further devoid our inherent right for self analysis and rehabilitation. Own how you feel, accept it, release it, and learn from it.

When we become more open, see the world as safe to reside in, partake in activities that bring us passion, joy, achievement and unconditional love we then chip away at the layers that weighed heavy upon our construct and soul. We need to keep in check how we speak to ourselves, what ideologies we accept about ourselves and most importantly how we allow others to manifest and exist within our paradigms. You can not heal in the same environments that have caused you to become ill or the worst version of yourself — extract yourself. Give yourself the permission to allow others the opportunity to help you. You inherently deserve the right to be seen, valued, heard, appreciated, supported and loved.

We are not chameleons, or masters of disguise who must blend within our environments, we are individual sparks of infinite light within with a unique individual spectrum. To live your life unseen, unheard, or to place yourself as low importance, is detrimental not only to the psyche but to the soul. You matter, you do not need to receive affirmation from another to recognize that you are the most important person within your life and you deserve to fully embrace your dreams, visions, goals, and deepest desires. You do not need to mimic anothers progress to be worthy, you have to embrace your own imprint. Adopt solace within yourself, to receive comfort or consolation during your greatest moments of fragmentation or distress. You deserve to exist, you are not born of misfortune, you are not a burden, you represent diverse views and are a colourful expression of life. Embrace trust, faith, and confidence within yourself.
