I Am Consciousness Itself

                                               I'm Awake So What's Holding Me Back?

  I had someone ask this question of me a few days ago and it occurred to me that the mundane stuff of life will and does keep us distracted from our divine purpose; if we allow it too.

   What do I mean by that you might ask. It's exactly what I said. Life, everyday life is a distraction. Things like your job/career, memories, feelings, old programs running in the background of your mind, triggers/ things that you use to make you feel special or different, labels that you feel you need to define you as a person, that make you stand out in a crowd. This can include politics, religion, health issues (chronic or otherwise), anything you do with an agenda. anything done automatically, without conscious, aware thought. These things can be thought of as Anchors. 

   As humans, we drag things with us unconsciously. Note that I am making the distinction here between Karma and  Anchors. The things that we create to say look at me! I'm different; just like everyone else. As we awaken and become aware of our selves as having a higher purpose and begin to look for it, we go to great lengths to cut the karmic chords and chains, but we continue to drag these unidentified Anchors along with us. We treat them as though they are important things by which to define us as us. 

   In truth, they don't define anything but our ego. Herein lies the problem. They anchor us in our human form, in our human brain. They cloud the mind and fool it into thinking that they are all we are. They drag us down and hold us back from our Asencion. They pull our attention in the wrong direction. 

   In the grand scheme of things all here (on Earth and in this incarnation) is fleeting; is an illusion. Our Anchors hold us in this stage much longer than we need to be there. However, as I have said many times, we don't know until we know, so now you know. 

   Yes, each of us needs to find their own way home [back to Source] and, yes, we are all headed there. But, as Mya Angelou said “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

 " Identifying your Anchors as such and treating them accordingly will assist your reach for enlightenment to happen faster, smoother and with more clarity as well as with less emotional pain than if you don't.

  Most of these Anchors, in truth, no longer serve your higher purposes, they don't lift you in any way. All they do is massage your ego and that doesn't help/ They actually drag you back, hold you down and delay enlightenment, keeping you struggling to find your Light, your Divine Purpose. 

   It came to me in a flash of insight several days ago that we can cut these Anchor chains just as we cut our Karmic ones. First thing to do is to recognize them. As I pointed out in the opening they come in many forms. Things your parents wrongly called you/told you. Things your playmates (online people) have wrongly said or taunted you with. Deep rooted thoughts and feeling you hold about yourself. Things that have happened to or around you that you have eternalized. There are more but you get the picture. Things inside that NO LONGER DEFINE who/what you are now. The easiest way to think about it is consider ANYTHING in your life that you feel defines you in anyway, either "good" or "bad" or :"interferent" Those are your Anchors. 

   As you recognize them, take them one at the time. Be truthful but not hurtful and examine it separately with conscious awareness and discernment and ask yourself, "What purpose does it serve in your life at this point?" "Does it lift you toward your goal of finding your Divine Purpose?" "Does it serve your highest good and best outcome?" "Is it helpful in anyway?" "Does it broaden your outlook?" "Do you need it at all?" "Will it continue to hold you back?"

   After deep thoughtful consideration (I suggest you write it all down, the Anchor , the questions and their answers) If you choose to let it go, burn the paper and allow your innermost self to do that, LET IT GO. If it turns out to be something that truly serves your highest good and best outcome in that moment, keep it until it stops serving you. Repeat the process until you feel cleansed of all those pesky holdbacks. As you do this, you will see/feel the futility of holding on to thoughts and feelings that hold you in a place those that you no longer need to be able to reach for your HIGHEST PURPOSE AND BEST OUTCOME.
