WHO’S YOUR MAMA NOW?
I may have figured out the entire path to end suffering. And I’m very excited!
Many gurus, clergy, teachers, and philosophers have written about this very enlightenment. This is not something new. But it is VERY new to me. It has changed everything about how I operate, react, and experience life. I know what you’re thinking, this must be too good to be true. Is it even possible to take back my personal power; to end my suffering? Is Chava on crack? Not crack, something BETTER.
Here’s the magic that has changed my life —
To end suffering, I’ve stopped hustling.
I’ve stopped hustling for validation, for a label, for permission that only appears to serve me for a short period of time.
When I first began to notice limiting rules I created for myself to stay safe, I realized this was not keeping me safe, this was keeping me trapped. These mechanisms are THE TRAP that perpetuates suffering in motion. And when I release these mechanisms that no longer benefit me, everything- EVERYTHING shifts.
The portal of pain begins with mechanisms that I put into place that aid and abet the abandoning of my truth. These mechanisms encourage me to stop listening to the real me, influence- no, demand me to pay attention to my inner critic .
So how did I get to this revelation? Great question!
The moment I realized this inner critic was in charge, was the moment I realized I could dethrone her. For the first time I noticed my suffering had a seat at my table, but she did not deserve to be there. For if I’m real about it, this voice had been ambushing the REAL me for decades. And if I’m honest, these mechanisms I so craftily put into place had me falsely believing they were protecting her all along. The her, the real her…aka the real me.
But that was just not true. At all.
I am not this critical voice. She is not me; I am not her. While I alone created her, I alone can reconstruct her. And while the old me justified that voice and even felt entitled, victimized and deserving of her, she needed ta go.
This critical voice had not been my “safety net” at all, it had been the scam created to blind my authenticity. It had been my smokescreen. Blaming others for my feelings of unworthiness, self shaming myself, acting and staying small, seeking or asking permission to be me, these mechanisms were put into place by ME. They do NOT SERVE ME. And they can just as easily be ERASED BY ME.
Every person has 2 life forces pulsing inside their bodies. Each one has a voice. There’s the real voice that tends to get drowned out. And then there’s this critical voice, which loves to be loud and bossy as shit. Both voices consistently compete for air time in our heads. Some call it consciousness vs subconsciousness. Others call it good inclination vs bad inclination. Either way the voices are on play. All the time. The critic voice will spend all its energy self sabotaging the real voice while convincing you that it is protecting her. So much so- the mind even manages to rewire itself to believe the critical voice is the actual you.
The morph starts slowly, discreetly- stealthily. One day it gets so loud we begin to believe we are that voice. But the truth is, that is us, and that is not us. It’s neither. It’s like a mask. We can wear it, but we can also easily take it off. It’s merely an accessory. It’s a shadow and it’s excellent at masking truth and at hiding in the shade.
So then the question becomes- WHO IS THE REAL VOICE? What does she stand for? What does she believe? Will we like her? We have shut her down for so long- and she longs so badly to break out. What is the real pathway for getting rid of this critical voice? It’s called PRESSING MUTE. It’s called RAISING THE VOLUME on the REAL ONE. She’s awaiting to be heard, because she is stunning!! It’s called watching the critical voice like it is the phony movie that distracts everything. Think of it like seeing it, not being it.
Awakening…true emancipation and freedom comes from the ability to shut that critic down. It comes from operating authentically from that real voice at all costs, at all times. That’s when everything changes. That’s when we can rain blessings down. When that is the only voice we let in, the only voice we listen to, we slay life; the real living begins.
So I’m not listening to that inner critic anymore that has tormented me for so long. She’s not me. She’s this thing that hates to see me happy. She systematically sabotages every good thing I have going.
Try it, Listen to the real you- the abundant you, the powerful, joyful, kick ass- genius- brilliant- lovable, loving, shining star YOU. She’s the only ONE that COUNTS!
Because ALL pain- ALL OF IT, is sourced in this inner critic. And once that is let go- magical thinking…no…MAGICAL LIVING truly happens.
So who’s in charge? Who’s your mama now?
YOU ARE.
