- We make the decision to listen to and come from our authentic selves, and trust in the healing power of the truth.
Here, the idea is that the Authentic Self is beneath all the disturbance in our heads, and in our hearts, and is at what is the “core” or “authentic self.” The “truth” comes from this “core.”
To help digest this a bit, consider the premise that we’ve been told lies about ourselves. Now these lies aren’t necessarily overt, but some are. “You’ll never amount to anything,” “You’re not that smart to make it,” “You’re nothing!” are overt messages, they’re directly hurtful.
Some subvert messages “Are you sure you want to go to a four year college, sweetie, a two year college might be easier,” “Let me do that for you, I don’t want you to get hurt…” These subvert messages imply that we can’t do something.
This said, these are the “lies” and they distract us and take us in a different direction than the truth within us. Beneath all the lies that people have told you, beneath all the lies that you’ve taken on from others, beneath all the lies that you’ve taken on, and now even tell to yourself, is the authentic self, and the healing power of truth.
- IF this is the case…How does this change the way you might look at yourself if this were actually TRUE?
- How do YOU reconnect with your own authentic self, and trust in the truth that is there?
