Lesson 2: Apathy

   The path to self actualization is more progressive than any opportunity given. There are highs and there are lows but consistently there is a feeling that can make itself present with out feeling anything at all. When apathy comes along, it can feel very stagnant. Like everything you have been through was for nothing or that there isn't enough stimuli currently available to continue. In this moment of reprieve the lesson is in the present. There is no opinion that is imposed upon you from others, and you have never outright rejected yourself, if you had known about it. Once you have ceased crucifying yourself at the mercy of others opinions, you can start to feel what should be expected of you. Nothing. Yep, that's right, nothing. In a world that demands that you be smarter, richer, taller, more this way and a little less that, when you cut off the oppression of who you are supposed to be, you arrive at a place of a potential of who you really are.
    Some might have known all along that their soul craved to be seen by what ever form of expression they have fought so hard to be seen for, others might come upon this point as a dead end. Shedding expectations has been a trial, shame and guilt had been very heavy but kept a lot of your focus up until now. With the lack of those burdens there is a lack of something, and the time to replace it with something healthy is now. Though apathy is not a high vibration, it is one working its way into the next and so with honor is needed to feel, even though it feels counter intuitive to finding yourself. You see in the lack of stimulus if you allow your time, when not in devotion to others, to feel apathetic, the feeling of apathy over being apathetic will occur to inspire a beautiful chain reaction. You will go with the motions and allow that lack of flow to you, to create time for something wondrous to be practiced. It is in these moment your mind will have time to wander, it will feel no more degradation, and in those moments, any thing can be considered possible. To hear what the universe has to offer, you first have to allow complete silence. That is what this lack of feeling will provide for your soul. Peace and quiet to hear your true self and what it desires to become.
    As you move up the vibrational frequency, or are able to identify when you are falling down to a certain point, understanding the purpose for the emotion or feeling lack of, in this stage, will help in finding out what attention the feeling is asking for. We moved from shame and guilt in the last post, recognizing that the expectations that others and even ourselves from past mistakes can impose upon our becoming of our true self, are not in alignment with who we feel we really are or who we want to be. Apathy comes to show us that we have a blanks space to fill with what does resonate with who we are. When first awakening we can bounce between these at the bottom for a little while, and that is okay, because the work done at the level of apathy will assist us greatly in the next two phases of raising your vibration. Grief and fear will come out of nowhere and can be helped, can be  be healed quicker if we use the time in apathy wisely. There are some stigmas that can hinder apathy back down into shame and guilt easily by making you feel that in the time of apathy you are being lackadaisical with out any purpose, but the purpose is for you to feel for yourself who you want to be and not for others anyway. Use this time to be present and the universe; your inner self, your soul, will speak to you and give you little peaks of validation in your moments of learning to hear yourself better. This time can be like when we are on a vacation with out an itinerary. You have no place you have to be, you have nothing that you are needing to do except just being and experiencing. That is all that is requested of you at this time. The ways you can receive guidance and direction are in signs and synchronicity and they can be offered in the most obvious ways. You see the world around you is a part of your consciousness, it is your reality awake. It is also a unified consciousness of you as a co creator with others free will, with that allows flow with the laws of the universe.
    I will go into the Laws of the Universe in another article but for this one, the most well known, "The Law of Attraction", infers that like attracts like. It states that, what frequency you emit the same will be brought back unto you. At this stage of apathy therefore, if you seek a desire to rise out of the indulgence of lack, once you have lived in it as long as it remains with in your perception as true, you can see direction in the words spoken by others that are feeling a similar lack of desire, you can see a similar feeling or lack in the shows you watch, books or articles you read, music heard. You will see signs as you are driving or walking through the world that will trigger inner thoughts of, "That's what I am going through. How is the world showing me exactly what I am going through?"  From there the next phase will be for resilience. The presence of ego will appear more headstrong than ever before. It will become so present, after all it fought back shame and guilt and now it deserves to feel some purpose. After apathy, grief and fear will appear to put the ego in check. Now against what we have been taught, ego is not a negative thing. Ego is a motivational force in our physical awakening and can speak for the true self, but with very primitive reactions to the world around us and in grief and fear, our attention will be to learn how to teach the ego how to grow into a more mature version of it's true self. Much like a child learns to grow into a world with others and others preferences, it will need to learn that others free will have a part to play as well. Not in a way that is allowed to dictate who we are, but every one has roles to play, and lines to recite, to collaborate with a story that is being written as we live it. The grief and fear once we realize this, will be for purpose that we will cover in the next lesson.
    In this lesson of apathy, you are asked to cease and desist from asserting your will. You need only be present and less attached to expectations of you. Bonus guidance that will be available to help prepare you for the next lesson can be can be gained by using this time to listen in the silence for unity consciousness. That we all have the same destination for self actualization, but each of us have very different versions for getting there. Grief and fear will come and make that very clear, but in this moment, just allow what will be to be.

Doing The Work Lesson 1: Shame and Guilt.

   Anyone that has been awoken and put on a spiritual path whether with personal or harmonized motivations has heard that there is a lot of work to be done. What is this work and how do we know that we are doing it correctly? First of all the intention of the the ascension is for self actualization to connect to a bigger purpose. To know that you are evolving, there is a lot that will trigger and stimulate the growth naturally. How you know you are applying the skills needed will come from ways that you respond to handle even the most confusing of pop quizzes that life will assign. You see the layout of the course of ascension is not outlined by a syllabus but there is a chart that can be referenced. The "Levels of Vibrational Frequency" shows a progression of the emotions we emit in times of duress. I can provide you with a general overview to prepare you for satisfactory progress, the biggest indicator will be in the way situations are handled emotionally. For some the application and attention will be obvious indicators for the progress and for others that don't do the work, life will deal out the same cycle lessons over and over until active application  is applied. No one is activated on this journey by accident, every single person is called to develop further. One can decide not to develop in their life time at any point in time and settle for a level of actualization they are comfortable with, but their hearts desires will never be acquired by ignoring the necessary process that when embraced, will carry to align every next level to prepare for the ultimate desire to resonate. There are moments of intensity but with awareness and if lessons are applied, the resistance can be replaced with an easier flow. That is where is this article can come in handy.
    First occurring is the activation. When this happens, we are awakened to the thin vale between the physical and the spiritual. Prior to this we are guided by the templates we are raised with in regards to religion or the path we were told to follow in life. We live by the examples of our elders with out knowing the exact reasons or motivations of each choice or decision made and a hand guiding us is by a benevolent blindness that is accepted by life happening to us, either by a belief that everything happens for a reason or that there is a path that is already written for us. The activation occurs to wake us to another destiny. Suddenly we feel we are exposed to dreams of attainment that feel more true to who we wish we could be. The work in this first layer is about shedding the identity imposed upon us by others in our life. This is not the easiest lesson, as we begin to assert who we are, it seems to matter more how everyone else will adjust to us letting down their expectations of us.
Though who we desire to be is not one that should inflict disappointment, those that love us desire their own expectations to be fulfilled for their own adjustment and  that is a triggering catalyst in this phase of development. As each tower moment occurs, our true self can come out and there are points we are passing through the course that it feels contradictory to success as we allow our self to be seen with out apology by those that have unintentionally imposed their desire of who we are supposed to be. In these moments, guilt and shame can occur and that is the first level to come to work on to realize self actualization.
    Our default will be to fulfill the the expectation imposed upon us by the people that mean the most to us and when we behave in a way that conflicts with that, we have to learn to shed the lowest vibration that keeps us feeling stuck, heavy, or living a life that is not of our own creation. Ironically those that trigger this the most will be the ones that desire us to be true to our self and we will fall into allegiance with the safe identity that is told to us because it is like a safety net. There is not a lack of contrast in this default however and once awakened we will not be satisfied with this version of the self that is fueled by others expectations. There will be moments, that we smile and go along with the story that others tell us about ourselves, but when we are alone and there is no one to conflict with our inner guidance, our emotions will indicate one of two things. We will either embrace the autonomy and begin to avoid those that inflict expectation upon us, or we avoid alone time all together to avoid any shame or guilt that needs to be purged.
Now for the homework to shed the feelings that are keeping you from self actualization. Shame and guilt being the lowest frequencies, they can be the hardest to shed. With awareness the progress can be more easily gauged at this point The amount of work needed in this area will very from person to person but it is the first one that needs attention because the ways we interact with the world are influence by the ways we have been taught it is okay to behave. As humans we are not able to avoid feeling any human emotion but we can learn to keep it under control if it is keeping us from authenticity. After we become aware of the vibrational lesson that needs attention, the study is then placed upon the application of our interaction with the vibration. We then put our focus upon on either our reaction or our response when faced with the uncomfortable feelings that arise. Reaction is a default, while response is a  form of communication that is consciously applied, and can help create a better exchange with the catalyst creating the lower vibrational feelings. Special attention to our responses will be needed in time of healing any shame or guilt that may arise. I recommend the book  Shame and Guilt Master of Disguise by Jane Middleton-Moz, a nice short read that helps bring awareness to our default responses, that once acknowledged can be shed more easily.
    In the beginning of awakening there is a lot that happens to us that feels like it is occurring outside of us but is actually our own beliefs projecting to us much in the way that our dreams show us what we are needing to process in our subconscious while asleep. Reality is the universe as your subconscious awake and must be interacted with. Reality is the point of the process in the first place. The signs and synchronicities are going to be a way to recognize your progress along the way. Those will only be shown to you with trust and faith and special awareness to the world around you. The success coming when you are acting from a place of authenticity first and foremost, what is true to you, will always be rewarded by those that are pushing you by triggering you if you are interacting authentically. The more authentically you are living, the higher the vibration. The higher the vibration the more easily you manifest. Manifestation allows you to create the life experience that is true to your hearts desires. If you set an intention for a life that does not match energetically with where you are in the present the universe will create a path that is full of adversity for you to train and get stronger and become more aligned with what you desire. If you are acting out of a default and shame and guilt are holding you down because of others expectations, you are sending out confusing requests, indicating to the universe what you desire to manifest is not in alignment and will continue to attract and align with what doesn't resonate, or what contrasts with your desires. The work needed though in the moment feels hard and frustrating, but is worth it to co create a desired existence. One that feels true to yourself, and the first bit will be trying but absolutely achievable with enough practice.
With much Love & Light,
