Lesson 10 — Acceptance and Intentions

(Taken from Transcending Limitations – How To Start Where You Are & Create Your New World)

Accepting where we are in this moment helps us surrender to what will come. Accepting our path helps us create our reality so that we can create lasting changes in our world. Accepting what is appearing before us helps us forgive and release the energy to be transformed and free us permanently from its perceived control over our lives. Through acceptance we can finally see what is happening within and around us. We finally accept how powerful we truly are and our ability to co-create everything that is showing up in our lives. We have accepted that our unconscious intentions have been creating the life that appears before us and we realize we can consciously create anew. As we consciously accept our power, we accept our ability to create new intentions filled with our conscious desires. This creates the momentum needed for lasting change  to happen.   Allowing the people, places, and things to come in and help us construct the new life we are creating.

Once we realize what we need to do differently, through acceptance, we  consciously decide to lift  the veils and merge with the most powerful force of the universe; our connection with prana, the  life force of Creator itself. This is a powerful way to live working through us and allowing life force energy to move us consciously into the reality in line with our highest potential and soul purpose.  We release control to something bigger than ourselves that has been whispering to us and asking us to follow.  Life becomes more fulfilling, and our lights begin to brighten this world.

This is  divine orchestration.  We are spiritual beings with a soul purpose greater than anything our minds can perceive. Our heart intelligence feels the calling for something more.  There is more to life unexplainable and strongly felt with a  longing for change and living the life you were inspired to become. 

The root of significant  change, the root of  creation, and the root of every inspired being desiring  to be different, seeks for this stretching and shifting to occur.  It becomes disturbing to be normal and they seek to know themselves completely.. This is the beginning of a journey taking them to lasting change and the truth of their soul. .

This is not done by force.  It is a whisper and a gentle calling us back to our truth.  It is not a math problem or a cause-and-effect situation. Sometimes it is a subtle build of pressure that has been ignored for too long building into  congestion so great it can no longer be ignored. In the moment, it feels most uncomfortable, when we may be  trying to suppress or push it away, limit the sensations, or judge and fight back is the moment of  true wisdom emerging and erupting within us. In this moment we realize there is something more.  Before we can go any further, we must surrender to its calling to go deeper. Whatever it may be.

This is when we accept, we can no longer do this alone, we must ask for help, and accept our higher purpose is calling us to step forward, rise up, and become our calling for this lifetime. Real and lasting shifts are not created by ego but by co-creating with Creator itself. This is how miracles happen. In the moment that there is nothing else to do, that there is no longer a fight to engage and there is no longer anything to run from we do nothing. Doing nothing allows everything to become undone. Allowing everything to become undone is when everything opens and all possibilities appear before you. It is here when we finally wake up and see behind all the illusions of everything that was always there waiting for us. It is so simple and yet we make it so uniquely complex. We are that creative and that imaginative that we think we have all this under control. When we do not. When we accept that thought, that idea, we can then surrender with our whole body, and it all happens right then and right there. It is then you become one with the I Am. For our thoughtful minds, this equates to an experience such as this…

Time and time again in my life I have been faced with trepidation. Every time a doctor told me something could not be done, that the impossible could never be achieved, and that I needed to stop trying so hard. Every time a family member decided they knew more than I did, or had this all figured out, I felt this burning sensation within my body that screamed at me! It was so disconcerting that nothing could ignore it. I was so angry with irritation that I was being told ‘no’ in so many ways that it felt like a massive boulder was laying on my chest and I could barely breathe or stay where I was. I was determined to prove them wrong.

When they told me that Ethan would never walk, I wanted to scream from the depths of my soul! When they told me I was not to go to college as a teenager and that my family was not college material, I wanted to kick down every door that closed in front of me. When they said that my child had a psychosis that was passed down from generation to generation, I halted their words and felt a huge constriction within me that could do nothing else but claw my way through the thick goo of cellular limitation that was keeping our family and the rest of the world from the way through to the other side of miraculous. I burst the bubble of disgust and exploded into a sea of miracles that knew life was supposed to be amazing. How could anyone ever tell us otherwise? Why do they feel it is their right to do so! What was this?! For me, it is an unexplainable burst of volcano spirit that does not halt and will never do so. This was my spirit sensation that needed to be heard. This was my body speaking to me telling me to go deeper and use this prana energy to make the changes needed to shift our world.

It is all about sensation. The pressure, the angst, the constrictions, the pounding, the place within that burns, ‘ugh!’ Feel it, sense it, be in it, go through it. It is as if a baby is birthing through the constricted birth canal that must flex and pull and stretch its way into existence. There are no words, only sensation pulling you through to the other side of revelation. We sense something needs to happen, something needs to shift, that an energy is ready to rise up within us. And then we just allow it to happen with no judgements. Unfortunately, we as adults have been trained to remain within our heads ignoring our instincts. We attempt to explain, rationalize, or judge. This is not what creates lasting shifts of transformation. We must be where we are, sense, feel, and drop into the experience.

Acceptance is possible in the moment you notice how you are trying to control the situation. Accepting the sensations and surrendering to the awareness allows us to consciously drop in and prepare us for the next step: surrender.

Surrender is where the magic happens. This is when we consciously return to the marvelous moments that have been unconsciously repeating in our life. We step off the hamster wheel of life and consciously choose to breathe into what is happening. This is when we merge with the juicy still point that we and our lineage never resolved and released from our ancestry.  Through our consciousness we now have the incredible opportunity to do the work with the Creator that will permanently shift and create the miracle. This is the exact moment when a choice is made to complete the process of suffering and step into a new reality of consciousness filled with the choice of another way to live life. We are no longer the mistakes of our individual and collective past.

This may come as an image or memory or something that may not even make sense. This is the beautiful, imaginative, and creative knowing within you, that is bringing you to the golden moment of miraculous change. This is the moment when we initially lost our heart intelligence that knows we are connected to all that is. This is all space-time connection, between the past, present, and future all in one. This is the moment we can now go even deeper.

This moment is our opportunity to breathe into what is happening, to take long slow — very slow — deep breaths into everything and trust. We do this… We breathe, no matter what, no matter what else happens, no matter how many tears, how many tissues, how much anger or rage is in there. We breathe slowly into just the one moment, not the story, and only that one brief and passing moment. It is only in that one brief ‘now’ moment that we instantaneously separated, decided something, and reactively tried to solve the situation. This is when we separated ourselves from the one thing that could have taken care of it all. In that moment, and only that ‘now’ moment, is when we miraculously return to our heart.

To be in the sensations we have been trying to avoid our entire life is the very moment that truth emerges. What will happen next is beyond understanding with the mind. It is an all-encompassing embrace from something so unexplainable, so extraordinary; it is beyond words or thoughts. It cannot be explained and only felt with the heart. This is when the forgiveness sets in, and heart intelligence rises.

Forgiveness is when all the limitations of the mind merge together with the oneness of Creator — your Creator that is within your everlasting life and heart. That is when the image, the memory, the snapshot in time is forgiven and released. This is when we finally understand our part in the creation. This was our derailment by either our hand or the hand of another. This is when we created false beliefs, held regrets, or retreated to protect or survive. This is when we felt our worlds close in on us. This is when we had no other choice but to leave all the love, the knowing, and the oneness behind. In this one very precious moment is when you realized all of this, and it is here where you now return. And as you merge again with Creator, as you ask, you humbly know that you are now receiving the help you always wanted and always knew was possible but creatively and collectively forgot. That is when you forgive yourself, you forgive Creator, and you forgive your entire lineage and family for all of this because you just did not know. In this now moment when you do, this is when something even more amazing happens.

It is here, and only here, when everything resolves and releases. All time does not exist anymore and in this moment of space is when the miracle happens. Whatever that is, or was, or came to be in time merges together. Time stops. You stop. Everything is changed… Everything… Every… Thing… E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g becomes the nothing from which it came.

This is the body of creation that exists within us all. Yes, you are all that is, and nothing can take that away because you are everything and nothing at the same time. When we understand this, we embody the miracle. We know anything is possible. We return home. Heaven was always right here within us.

Our Purpose is to question everything…be curious, believe in the unbelievable, rise above & BE-COME

[An excerpt from Lesson 13 – Question Everything – “Transcending Limitations” Jennifer Lauren]

In the moment negative thoughts or beliefs arise, and the limitation has appeared, we turn it around. Every limitation is answered with a ‘why not’ and every negative thought or belief is answered with a ‘canceling’ of that thought. We feel the negativity, we are aware that it is happening, and in that awareness, we shift into a new state of awareness without the limitation, simply by questioning ‘why not?’ We feel them, we name them, and then we allow them to go. Simply, it is allowing ourselves to feel the limitations of our mind, understand they are illusions of the past, accept they have been there for a  long time hiding  in the shadows, and we commit to questioning everything surrounding the limitation.

For example, Ethan, being diagnosed with a medical condition, has been told repeatedly there are certain things he will never be able to do mentally and physically in this current paradigm. With each limiting belief we peeled back the layers in this realm, decided we had a choice to question the current reality showing up and choose to accept what was happening or find another way.

At first, we had some very difficult life-threatening choices to make. We were told that if certain procedures were not done to save his life he would die. So, as parents in fear and wanting our child to survive we put our faith in the hands of the doctors, and he indeed did survive. Grateful as we were in the skills of the professionals, what we failed to see at the time is as we continually only trusted in the doctors, we failed to trust within ourselves. We gave up ourselves, though allowing a predicted outcome to prevail. Naturally, everything they determined would happen based on medical science, did. When he was born, his life was based on survival. We did the things we were told that needed to be done to survive. This was necessary, and it saved his life.  

On the other hand, we were still limited by our own beliefs. You see, if Ethan did not come into this life with the condition that he did, he would have had a completely different birth and a completely different purpose. But he came in with this diagnosis on purpose. It was his purpose to do this, to be this so that we could see that there is always another way. His life has been a product of questioning everything. When they said he would not walk, we asked, “Why not?” We were told exactly ‘why not’ by doctors and other professionals, and we had a choice to make. Believe in the limitation or find another way. We found the other way.

When we were told he needed surgeries to correct and take care of limitations he would always have with his bowels and bladder and kidneys, we asked, “Why?” and they told us ‘why’, all the limitations of ‘why’. I asked the universe, “Why not?” and I was shown because it was what you believe. So, I questioned the belief and chose another way. Never having bowel, bladder, or kidney issues. Ever.

Finally, his shunt, (an instrument surgically implanted in a child to help pump cerebral spinal fluid throughout the body) we were told this would need multiple revisions his entire life and to expect multiple surgeries every year, not to mention a host of other issues related to cognitive functioning. So, what happened? You guessed it… We found another way. Ethan became an anomaly and the kid that was the ‘healthiest’ kid they had ever seen. It didn’t require magic or miraculous prayers reserved for the worthy few. What it took was the courage to question everything along with belief in the miraculous. We were convinced there had to be a better way. We were convinced we could not live our life like a textbook, and we had to do something else. We were convinced we would not become another statistic. We needed another way; their rules were too limiting, too unnatural, too constricting, and too separating from inspired living. The only way that felt better, sensed better, created a more fun and joyful way for us, for Ethan, for our life, was to question “WHY NOT?” and then find another way.

When you question everything, you question the very fabric within you, your family, your lineage, and your ancestors. You question all the thoughts and beliefs within your life that have ever made up your life, and when you do that, it forces you to go within. When you go within, you get to know what you genuinely believe and if you don’t like what you see you get to change it. Every perceived problem has an answer and in this reality, the problem no longer exists because we know that once we see the limitation, the answer already appears. It is that fast, so fast that soon the problems become nonexistent. Or if the ‘problem’ does persist we see it as an opportunity to find another way. When it happens enough, and we see the results of our paying attention we are taken to an entirely new level of understanding and then that new level becomes our floor of existence. It is here that we begin again.

Questioning everything begins with curiosity. It begins with a knowing that this can’t be right because I trust when it does not feel right. It is calling me to notice something is not lining up within myself. Once that happens, you begin opening doors to new ways of thinking which opens doors to new ways of being, which opens doors for all possibilities to drop in.

When you are aware of your own limitations, you have the power to free yourself from the limitation itself. It is here that you realize nothing is holding you back from anything. It was only there to help you see the truth. You are to move higher and higher and continually release boundaries for yourself by questioning everything. As you do this first for yourself it will naturally ripple out and extend to others around you.  They will sense the shift and eventually be inspired to go above and beyond their own perceived ceilings to lift themselves to a new level where their ceiling is now their floor.

You are to keep going, raising yourself higher and higher so that eventually, ceilings don’t exist, and your limitless existence is all there is. That is what childlike questioning allows us to do. It asks, “Why not?” to everything with a curious, joyful, limitless expression that is open to all possibility. This is the true gift of a child. The purpose of a child is to help the adult see what they once believed for themselves.
