I’ll say it. I haven’t written in a while since I’ve been resistant to constantly “needing” people’s validation of my thoughts. I’ll do it at work some, but mostly with low key guys who are similarly quiet natured. Ascension is putting some things in me which, when I consider them, are pretty foreign to my thinking. And not seeking everyone’s validation is definitely a big thing. I’m still trying to figure out changes coming on, and I’ll say maturity is definitely one of them.
My mind is still trying to argue its case as to why I “need” validation. But it’s not truly validation it’s seeking. It’s community. Belonging to a tribe. I’ve felt inferior to most males around me for decades, and that initiated distance by me. I’ve not even thought of inferiority lately, as I’ve not felt it, at all. My mind has battled with me, even today while working, to hide my weaknesses around people. Damn, I have definite thoughts on this.
If there’s been one uncomfortable, but fruitful action I’ve done many times, it’s answering honestly regarding weaknesses. I find it first kills the umph of bullies seeking to embarrass me. Bullies live off other people’s fear, so no fear leaves them without a target. I also know it encourages others to admit their own weaknesses. I wasn’t smashed, so why should they be afraid? And lastly, I feel I skip past the bullshitting among men and move into more honesty and vulnerability with some.
This sharing happened today with a coworker I rode with. He was kicking the shit out of himself, callling himself bad, and I gently asked him why he thought he was that bad. He spit out that he keeps cheating on his girlfriend with another woman. He’s scared of himself currently, having limiting beliefs about himself and how he should be treated by others, himself, and God. It was safe for him sharing, as I had no judgement on him. But since I’ve not bullshitted him, he shared the biggest present battle in his life.
Keeping this post on myself though, what I have sought lately (and feared simultaneously), is an independence. I’d have to say I’ve allowed fear to dictate my life. I’ve had fear directing my steps each day, and it kept me feeling small, powerless, and weak. This is bullshit thinking. Powerless, unfruitful, circular thinking. The reality I’m questioning is "am I expecting or HOPING money will allow me to hide like I did before? I really don’t want to live in la la land. Money will allow some changes in my life, but it won’t set my mind free. That’s a choice I have to choose every single day.
So, tomorrow I’m going to begin Ascended Mogul. I’m also beginning a big investment, so mental money rules and reminders will be most helpful.
Also, I’m going to run Ascension while sleeping tonight. I’ve wondered if the prior sleeplessness was due to my mind battling it initially. All good subliminals began to “settle” into my thinking and norm after a while. I’ve been listening to Ascension each day while working, and I’ve not been angry lately (aka scared). I’ll try it and see. I’m also wondering if I’ll be able to run AM while sleeping.
I need some sleep now. I’ll write later.
