Mastery of Life

Placing yourself first in the flow of energy and cutting others off is what would term selfish. Placing yourself first in the flow of energy and then using that energy to feed others is self-first.
- Steve Rother, Re-member, p.190.


You often ask about your relationships and events in your life that - at a given moment - seem to define your thoughts and actions, define your life. Let us look at a big picture in this regard.

What you are having in your life today is a direct result of your choices days, months, and years that lead to this moment. They are as well influenced by experiences of your previous lifetimes more than you can imagine, but it is a story on its own. So, let us consider this lifetime as "a big picture" for our purposes first.

Who do you love, what you are passionate about, and how do you act upon it creates your life. At the same time, this balances with fears that you have - that you always going to have in one form or another. But it is not about being absolutely fearless, since your fears are responsible for your survival [at this stage]. It is about the balance. Who is the master of your life: you, a passionate and loving being, who can allow oneself to be vulnerable and not perfect at times, or fears? Please do not ignore this question, but read it, repeat it to yourself for at least three days, and write the answers down. You may also want to keep those notes for some time, for you will be surprised fairly soon how your mastery of life changes after you accept responsibility for your own choices. Nothing, nothing, and nothing defines what you choose. You do. And you accept consequences of your choices way before it appears in your life, and that is what creates fear. You know immediately when you did not put yourself first in making a decision because you go against the flow of Universal Energy that supports every effort sprouting from one's heart. And you already know that despite the claim that your decision was driven by responsibility for others, you will not be able to give anything to anyone before you give to your heart what She wants.

The Self-First approach becomes more and more important these days on Earth as we raise our level of consciousness to where it never had been in a history of the planet. And it is simply beautiful.

Now, let us take this light of understanding and look at the monster named fear, for fear is simply where the love is not. Take the biggest fear in your life today and look carefully into the very soul of it. What? You do not see its soul? You are right! It does not have one, and as such it must be an illusion. Nevertheless, it is real to you - as long as it influences your decisions and affects your emotions.

Yet, we just said that fear is simply lack of love. So, why would we look at a shadow rather than at what casts that shadow? The shadow itself already indicates that there is light, is it not? You are invited to look at what is that bringing you light, awakening your passion, what is it? Where is it located? Is it inside you? Is it in your heart? For that where your Love lives, and that is where your choices are originated.

Make your choices passionately and fearlessly. Accept the gifts that will follow gratefully and gracefully. Love rule-lessly. Call this process your everyday life, and be Who You Are, for that is how you are known in the world. You will see it in the eyes of other people instantly. Search for that light, not for approval or acceptance. Dare to be different, for you are truly unique. Your abilities and the frequency of your light means a lot for humanity. Give Your gift, and accept the reflections of your light with honor, joy, and grace.

With much love...
