I’ll tell you a little about what’s been going on with me lately. I have been realizing things about myself that were either unknown to me or just outside of my conscious awareness. I’m making connections and making distinctions that – while not always pretty or flattering – are pretty accurate, and the truth is setting me free as I open myself up to it.

We need to become aware of the things that are true about ourselves (or that we think are true but are actually false). To create awesome lives, we need to see and know what we do not see and know about ourselves right now.

We’re all going through our lives with blind spots. These blind spots come in all shapes and sizes. The problem is that these gaps in our fields of perception blind us to a lot of stuff that is right in front of our faces. I’m not being hyperbolic here. I really mean that these things are right there to be perceived, and we just don’t see them at all. Yet, we are constantly bumping into them like invisible force fields, closed glass doors that we think are open, or invisible glass ceilings that we do not think we can pass through. As this happens constantly (again, no hyperbole intended) we wonder what is going on. Hint: You attracted it through the resonance of your personal energy field(s) with other energies that harmonized well-enough with the circumstance to bring it into your experience.

To the extent that we do not perceive our true and false selves and to the extent that we deny, suppress, and ignore our false and true selves, we suffer. This lack of perception leads to disruptions in our connections to the powers that are our birthright. As a result we experience suffering and pain. We create illusions that reinforce the lies that have become attached to our being (because we allowed them to attach themselves in the first place), sapping our strength and power. We do not fully experience our connection to the Source because we are pointing our attention in the wrong directions.

If it is the things that we do not see and do not know that we most need to deal with in order to experience our true selves and our true capabilities. How do we do that? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Get someone else with a different perspective to help you see the things that are hiding in plain sight. You need someone who will not let you off the hook and who will hold you accountable for the way you are creating your reality.

2. Remember a truth that is sprinkled throughout this blog, your experiences are a mirror of what is happening within you. Everything! When you see or experience anything that creates any kind of automatically emotionally charged reaction for you, realize that you attracted that circumstance and your reaction gives you clues as to what you really think and feel. These thoughts and feelings are clues to your deepest motivations or what I like to call intentions.

3. Pretend that you are just stepping into the middle of your life for the first time, right now. You could imagine that you are an alien from an advanced civilization who has hijacked your body. This being comes from a world that has already solved all of the problems and issues that plague you and many of your fellow humans at this time. This being would have access to your thoughts and feelings and memories. What would this advanced, enlightened and absolutely compassionate being’s perspective be on your experience of your existence? What would he or she find confusing, amusing, limiting, untrue, etc?

4. Keep a journal or some other kind of record of things that have your attention and look for patterns and themes. Realize that anything you experience as outside of you is an excellent reflection of the drama of what is actually going on within you. These can be waking or dreaming experiences, “real” or “imagined.” They can involve situations that have no obviously direct connection to you. It doesn’t matter. They are all giving you useful information that can help you transform your life when you pay attention. If you are not yet skilled at interpreting your reality or “reading between the lines of your life,” get someone who can help you develop those skills so that you can understand what your life is telling you about what is happening within you.

5. Come up with other ways that feel joyful to create more objectivity with regard to your experiences. Come up with other creative ways to hold a mirror up to your experience.

Who we are is more than enough. This is not what we have been taught so far. For most of us this idea has not yet become true. There is nothing deficient or lacking in our being. We just happen to have acquired some things that are not in harmony with the truth—with who we actually are. When we release these things (and release them we will!) our lives become unfolding adventures that are beyond our ability to imagine at this time. We exist to experience a Life of infinitely unfolding possibilities.

For a long time, I was addicted to self-help books. As someone who has completely and fully recovered from this way of being, I’d like to share some thoughts with you here.

The self-help addiction can manifest itself in many different ways. Here are a few hints that you may need some help in this area:

• Reading lots and lots of self-help books (usually more than one at the same time!)
• Attending seminars, workshops, presentations, and classes hoping that the final piece will miraculously fall into place and help you make sense of your entire existence
• Stalking the self-help, psychology, religion, and new age aisles of book stores on a regular basis
• Indulging frequently in rescue fantasies

If any of these things seem familiar to you…

• Recognize that you have an opportunity for learning, growth, and development.
• Recognize that you are good enough, worthy enough, smart enough, and wise enough.
• Set your intention to love yourself completely no matter what.

As a former self-help junkie, I understand what you are going through. Here’s what I want to share with you. The object of the addict’s craving in this particular addiction is “The Missing Piece.” I’m going to tell you one of the biggest secrets on the planet.

You Are The Missing Piece That You Have Been Looking For!

As you become more and more of who you really are, doing more and more of what you truly love to do, you will discover that you have immediate access to everything you need to know each and every moment. Your own truth will become visible to you. Your own goodness will become clearer. And the world will reflect back to you your incredible magnificence, because you are absolutely magnificent. Believe it! Come to know it, and you will change the world, just by being who you really and truly are. I love you, and I believe in you because we are one!
