Empowering Yourself
Empowering yourself and the journey within. The concept of saving oneself is a topic I began exploring before my awakening experience. Decades of battling anxiety and depression taught me that true healing had to start from within. No external force or circumstance could rescue me from myself. I used to believe everything would magically fall into place if I had enough money, a home, a happy marriage, or the perfect career. However, I learned a valuable lesson in my struggle against the nature of things—the true power for change resides within.
The Revelation of Self-Healing
After my awakening, I realized the power to heal had been within me all along. However, the suffering I endured was an integral part of my journey. As Isaiah 48:10 KJV states, “Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.” And in Ephesians 4:4 is written, “There is one body and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.”
Divine Calling
I have shared that I distinctly heard God speak to me when I was around ten, telling me I would share my story one day. For years, I struggled to write, but eventually, I triumphed over anxiety and depression and began writing a book about overcoming these struggles. Initially, I believed that would be the sole purpose of sharing my story. However, I could not bring myself to complete it. Then, I had my awakening experience and began the next leg of the journey. I realized that the story was an ongoing, perpetual journey. That, in essence, is the story—the continuous unfolding, the unlearning of all we have known, to remember, and to awaken. It is a rebirth.
Empowering Yourself
Save yourself! Empower yourself. Within you lies the power to do so. There is no external entity that will save you. God resides within you, alongside you, and what greater power exists than that? If you constantly seek outside yourself, you will miss the profound beauty of who you are. We are all on a journey of awakening, each at different points along the path. You will experience refinement in the fires of life, but it is for your ultimate growth. You will ascend to higher states of consciousness, and your suffering will subside when you believe in its cessation and cease seeking external saviors.
The Inner Work
Undeniably, the inner work is not easy, but it is immensely worthwhile. Fearlessly examine yourself, your underlying beliefs, and your assumptions. Embrace forgiveness for yourself and others. Confront fear, recognizing its illusory nature. Take ownership of your life and actively rewrite your story. Remember, all things are possible when you embark on the empowering journey within.
Conclusion
Empowerment begins when you realize that the power to save yourself resides within your being. External circumstances may play a role, but true transformation emerges from your inner strength and consciousness. Embrace the ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth, knowing that refinement and challenges are catalysts for your evolution. Let go of the notion of an external savior and dive deep into the wellspring of your divine essence. Face your fears, rewrite your story, and claim your power. The beauty of who you are awaits your embrace.
