From my perspective, this quote is about being spiritually Senior:
- DOing what it takes, as the Captain of our Ship...
- Having Mastery of spiritually living in this body, dancing in this world, co-creating what we are here to share...
- Taking back our Free-will, our spiritual Power, our soul Authority, the Agency we need to sing the song we are here to sing...
- BEing the Master, the Chooser of our inner experiences, our outer actions, our soul destiny...
Spiritual Seniority is NOT our culture's average way of being & doing:
- Having Agency is NOT how most of us are raised.
- BEing the Captain is NOT where most of us stand.
- Most of us are NOT well-equipped to do this, to have this, to be this, to co-create this - for ourselves or for others.
In one hidden part of our lives, or all over our lives
- A lot of us stand without tools or support, in the place of:
- "it is happening to me",
- "I don't have a choice"
This is so sad.
Living in the place of 'victim' is creating
- such pain, such fear, such stuck-ness;
- such lies of shame, of unworthiness, of powerlessness, of choice-lessness...
- weigh us down and can poison us to our core.
- undermine the Beauty of who we Truly Are.
- divert the Glory we can experience and powerfully co-create through in this world.
So many of us living in the place of 'victim':
- it is a travesty,
- a terrible waste of human potential.
... And our children learn monkey-see-monkey-do,
they learn what they live.
And the cycles Repeat.
.
Meanwhile, I believe there is a lot of spiritual hope.
I believe, "where we trip is our treasure"
On our healing/ transformation path, we can find along the way:
- we become strong in the broken places...
- we become wise where we were foolish and gentle where we were controlling & bossy...
- we become uniquely available to comfortably and powerfully serve/ help/ heal/ BE with particular people and situations
- We can play a new game - sitting in the place of 'winners' not 'losers'.
- Those of us who have lived 'under it' - can walk above it.
- We can allow a different experience of life - standing in Victory, not victim-hood.
We can learn and choose Mastery, Spiritual Seniority.
How would that change our lives? our world?
.
I am on-fire about the opportunity for each one of us
to step into our own spiritual Seniority;
and the huge difference this makes in our own lives and in our world
... physically, spiritually, relation-ally, emotionally, intellectually, etc.
I pray you have/ find soul tools & practices,
as well as a place to spiritually stand,
to support you on your unique journey of Mastery.
Blessings on your Unique Path,
Wendy

Earlier today, my (Chicago) daughter and I discussed this very idea in a cellphone conversation...and SHE was referencing a series by Elizabeth Gilbert who was discussing "who gets to tell you who you are?" on a podcast.
ReplyDeleteSeems like several of us are getting the same message at once. Too cool for school, Wendy!
Yes, I am hearing this theme all over lately - many different paradigms and language-ing - but, same basic point.
ReplyDeleteMany coming to spiritual maturity, these days!
Thanks for sharing, Gretchen
