Inner Authority
August 2008
At
the deepest level, the level of the soul, you are the
author of everything that happens to you.
- Deepak
Chopra
Inner Authority. It is an
essential component in following one's own path of
brilliance. The word "authority" implies both a sense
of sovereignty and, perhaps less obviously, the ability
to author and/or create an outcome. Inner Authority
(Mahatma Gandhi called it soul
force) places the power to
create back in your heart and hands. Soul Force is
hard-wired to override evidence (or opinions) to its
contrary. It is a knowing that, at times, defies
reason. And due to its unreasonable and unworldly
nature, it brings you closer to the Divine.
Through experience in working with my own internal
guidance and authority, I have learned to trust it.
When I resist the guidance that I receive within
(usually due to fear of failure or judgment), my outer
world begins to express symptoms of my soulular
discomfort. If I push my limits, my body may begin to
shut down or pack on the pounds. If I continue to do
something that no longer inspires me, conflicts may
begin to emerge or money may stop flowing freely. All
in all, my life seems to be divinely orchestrated; I
only need have the courage to respond to its cues.
In this month's recommended reading, Deepak Chopra
lists what he calls the Three Requirements to
be Happy on The Soul Level. He invites us to ask the
following questions:
Do I act without effort?
Do I feel joy in what I do?
Are my actions bringing results?
He very plainly put into
words the process that I have been going through over
the past few months. I am delighted to report that I am
taking steps to shift the order of my everyday so that
I can again answer an emphatic YES! to each of the
above.
Now what about you? How is
your soul represented in your everyday? Your physical
reality is a reflection of your soulular
alignment...yes, at all times. Are you making choices
that are in integrity with the truth of you, the
highest expression of who you can be at this moment? If
so, Grace will walk alongside you as an ally. Or it may
be that you are ready to make some space for your
soul's deepest truths to emerge with more ease.
Choices, one at a time, are all that stand between you
and the deepest level of joy and fulfillment you could
ever know.
Saying Yes Now,
Candice
