As far along as many of us are in this embodied enlightenment process, we notice there are still parts of us, aspects that do not feel worthy. \u00a0It\u2019s the mental part that keeps trying to make things happen by pushing, and applying force. \u00a0The part that keeps trying to prove or earn worthiness.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In a Planetary system of hierarchical values from worthy to unworthy, created by humans, it\u2019s natural for the mind to do that. \u00a0It assumes that it is being evaluated by a system that is rigged. \u00a0And that\u2019s because what constitutes worthy and unworthy moves around a lot.<\/p>\n

As we move from that mentally-based to a heart and soul based perspective we understand that there is no worthy or unworthy. \u00a0There is just a soul having a human experience. \u00a0And whatever we attract to us is from a place of vibrational alignment or misalignment.\u00a0But the human persona has a hard time with that because its identity rests primarily on proving self-worth.<\/p>\n

There is a sense of pride at stake.<\/p>\n

Recently someone tried to convince me that they were more \u2018evolved\u2019 than me, because they were affiliated with a group of spiritual Starseeds. \u00a0They went on to point out where I needed work, and to give me unsolicited spiritual advice that they believed would help me to become as happy and evolved and successful as they are.<\/p>\n

This was their way of both trying to prove worthiness, and a passive aggressive way of expressing their own resentment. \u00a0There is the part of them that is still not comfortable with their anger. \u00a0Or with feeling the sense of abandonment that propels that anger.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s easier to project it outward.<\/p>\n

The Mind will employ a variety of tactics to get what it thinks it wants and needs. \u00a0It will try to seduce us with flattery, with promises, with old photos of \u2018our time together\u2019 and with trying to convince us that it is far wiser than we are. \u00a0That we need it, the all knowing mind, because we are somehow flawed.<\/p>\n

It will also try to appeal to our sense of guilt.<\/p>\n

And, unless we set some clear boundaries, it will be relentless in its pursuit of control.<\/p>\n

I have had to set some clear boundaries with a few people in my life yet still find myself sucked in from time to time. \u00a0It\u2019s important to recognize what is actually happening. \u00a0The mind can get easily seduced otherwise.<\/p>\n

We are learning to trust our instincts. \u00a0We are pretty adept at it. \u00a0If someone, even our own mind, tells us something that sounds logical, that sounds even spiritual in nature, don\u2019t take it on face value.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself, how does it make me feel? \u00a0Is it uplifting? \u00a0Or does it feel off somehow? Do I feel joy, or do I feel self-doubt? \u00a0Does it make me feel like there is something very wrong with me?<\/p>\n

Does it make me feel somehow, unworthy?<\/p>\n

Chances are, if the comment or message makes you feel off, it\u2019s trying to appeal to your mind, not your heart or soul. \u00a0Because the soul doesn\u2019t engage in those emotions. \u00a0It\u2019s not taking the bait. \u00a0It\u2019s not interested in defending itself, and will not allow energy feeding.<\/p>\n

The mind, on the other hand, can be manipulated much more easily than the heart. \u00a0It will begin to feel bad, less than, and fearful. \u00a0After reading the email from the more \u2018evolved\u2019 person, I spent a good day and a half feeling angry, and triggered.<\/p>\n

The person was able to focus in on a part of me, of my mind, that feels vulnerable. \u00a0So much that I began second guessing myself.<\/p>\n

It took me awhile to recognize that I was reacting from my mind, and that the message was from someone who was trying to manipulate me. (I also asked a fellow master for her perspective which helped me greatly to trust myself.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also helpful to remember that the same mind that tries to manipulate us is doing so because underneath it feels unworthy.<\/p>\n

The people who keep trying to assert themselves back into my life, or get me to be a part of their life again, are subconsciously pushing me even further away. And that\u2019s because they are feeling unworthy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about me. \u00a0It\u2019s all about them not wanting to face their own sense of abandonment, and their own self-judgment. \u00a0It\u2019s easier to cling to the past or an old relationship than to do the inner work. \u00a0No, really, it is. \u00a0I\u2019m not joking.<\/p>\n

But if you resonate with these messages here, you already know that.<\/p>\n

And, when our mind tries to trigger us with fear, or self-doubt, it\u2019s good to remember, it\u2019s not about us. \u00a0It\u2019s about the mind and it\u2019s own insecurity.<\/p>\n

So when these things come up, it\u2019s a kind of rubber-meets-the-road moment. \u00a0We can let the mind\u2019s emotions carry us along, or we can claim our mastery, choosing\u00a0to align with our heart and our soul instead.<\/p>\n
