Solve this one aspect of your inner self and everything else in your life finds its proper place
Why does self-image matter?
Because it is a filter through which all of your experiences are interpreted. It limits or expands what you view is possible or not.
-
It affects your choice of diet, your health protocol, how you care for your body, and how proactive you are at following even your own health plans and aspirations.
-
It affects the tone of your voice when you speak. It affects the energy you project, even when you don’t speak.
-
It affects how you view your childhood, how you live with traumatic events, and the level of peace or anxiety that follows you day and night.
-
It determines who you choose as friends, life partners, your choice of work, as well as your success in business.
-
It affects how you interact with others, what you see and don’t see in those closest to you, as well as in others unknown to you, far away.
-
It affects how others respond to you, even without realizing why they are doing so.
-
Your self-definition also defines how you view the world, and how you view the universe at large...
-
It even defines how you view yourself as a soul.
Redefining who and what you perceive yourself to be — is all it takes to improve the course your life takes from this day forth.
Origins, Potentials, New Perspectives — These Form the Pathway to the New You
Toward the end of this description, I will reveal to you how through a simple exercise you can promote a noticeable inner shift toward a more positive, accepting self-image — within a few seconds — then solidify your new self-definition within the next two minutes that follow.
But first, it is important to understand that one’s self-definition is a freewill choice.
You have the free will to embrace or completely disregard the opinions of parents, society, institutions, and religions, etc., that have tried to define for you what is true and what is possible.
You are not, in any way, obligated to them. You define yourself according to your own rules.
You have the option to accept their rules as your own, if you choose. You also have the option to define their rules as not applicable to you — and form your own.
You are not bound to your past — unless you choose to be.
An Important Conceptual Journey Serves as a Pivotal Foundation
So now, I would like to take you on a conceptual journey of logic, commonsense, and a testing of the waters.
From this exploration, you may then decide whether the self-image you have built over the years still applies, or if a modification is in order.
Once you have begun to contemplate the following perspectives, the way you choose to define yourself will likely begin to take on a new meaning.
Regardless of how you welcome or reject any of the following concepts, if you simply practice the Two Minute Self-Image Upgrade outlined below, after you have at least considered some of what is about to be described, I can assure you, the possibilities available to you from this day forth, can then begin to expand rapidly.
You still have to let that happen and step into your part, but you will have paved the way for new possibilities — as well as old dreams — to finally become fulfilled.
It is now time for the horizon of your self-image to be expanded to a whole new level!
As an option, to gauge where you stand today, you may want to quickly rate your personally perceived degree of a balanced, wholesome, grounded, honest, assessment of self-image on a scale of 0-10.
This is only for a before and after comparisons sake — and does not have to be pinpoint precise or shared with anyone. A quick, rough estimate assessment is helpful, but not necessary, for this practice to be successful:
0 = 100% negative self-image
10 = 100% positive self image
The Source of Your Self-Image
There are numerous sources from which we draw our complex, multidimensional self-definition from.
Yet, to be successful in life, the truth is, you need only concentrate on ONE SOURCE for your self-image — which is the singular original source from which even the possibility of choosing a self-definition originates from.
This will take us back to the Origins of Life itself — which acknowledges the sequence of ancestral and soul prodigies and life experiences from which your current self has been derived, beginning with the most Original of Origins from which all of life developed from — while encompassing every step along the way to your present life today.
It is important to note, that the full subconscious imprint of this entire group of lineages is embedded within you today, similar to the complex, multi-generational nature of your physical DNA.
Therefore, the nameless origin from which all life ultimately developed can be described, if you wish, as the One Original Cause of All Life (which some call ‘God’, ‘Source’, ‘Creator’, ‘All That Is’, and terms of that nature).
Now, this is where the conceptual journey starts to climb a mountain
This is where we get to view our significance from a much more all-encompassing perspective.
To do so, we will add to this contemplation of our origins, one of the central characteristics of the Original Source of All Life — Infinity.
Once we begin to contemplate the true nature and implications of Infinity, the possibilities of growth and expansion spiritually, emotionally, and physically begin to climb exponentially.
While such a concept cannot be fully conceived of within the mind, it can be known within the innermost depths of the heart, and is, therefore, symbolically incorporated within the Two Minute Self-Image Upgrade spelled out below.
To begin the contemplation of Infinity, consider the vastness of just our visible universe (while recognizing that there are dimensions beyond dimensions NOT visible to us) — and consider the number of grains of sand on a single beach (let alone the entire world), as well as the trillions of renewable cells within our own bodies.
These alone are clear evidence, that from the created macro to the micro, the Origin of Origins is truly Infinite in both scope and creative capacity.
Therefore, logically and practically, this Infinite Nature of the Origin of Origins is the only “material” from which anything becoming form could possibly have been made of.
No other substance or form existed prior to the “formation” of time, space, dimensions, and shape. All potentials prior to this were “formless and void”.
Now, this is where this conceptual journey is brought full circle back to your self-image, as well as your potentials to more effectively manifest your dreams and desires.
If you have a form, if you can think, feel, choose, move, or become aware of yourself at all — then you are experiencing your existence due to the only material from which any existence can be formed from — the single, most-original and formless Source and Cause of All That Is.
Given the obvious, that every child is reflectively patterned after the combined genetic makeup of the parents, every ‘child of the universe’, so to speak, must also be reflectively formed from the very nature of its own Original Source.
What was possible to the parents is also available to the child — as a potential!
Is your perception of self beginning to expand to a new horizon at this point?
From this perspective, it is clear that the Infinite Nature of the One Source is the very material substance that has given form to everyone — including your own physical existence.
Here’s the logic and the sequence that defines your true nature more than any other:
By definition, ‘God’, ‘Source, ‘Creator’ and ‘Infinity’ — are one and the same.
Before manifest existence came into form, all potentials lived within this formless, Infinite Nature — yet, unmanifest.
Before you became the manifest form that you are today, you also existed within the One Source and Cause of All That Is — as a potential.
And yet, here you are today — in fully manifest form.
You once existed within the Origins of Origins as a potential, and now you are present here as the actual realized nature of that very potential!
Therefore, you are made of the same material as the Origins of Origins is made of (the delineation of which could go on forever, however, "Love", may be the most central characteristic that sums it up in short).
Yet, you still might ask, “If this Origin of Origins is infinite in scope and potential, then why am I limited — and anything but what this Origin represents?”
The answer is clear, the image of yourself is a freewill choice. We are each as infinite as we agree to perceive ourselves to be.
The Truth is one thing, yet our free will gives us freedom to define our potentials as we wish.
Yet, regardless of how any one of us chooses to define themselves, each and every one of us remain part of this infinite expanse of existence — and are constructed of the very material of its own nature. There is nothing else from which it could have been formed.
Starting to see yourself in a new light? Here is how it all fits together:
Intrinsic Value
Each one of us serves a unique function within the infinite expanse of all life, much like a single spark plug in a car’s engine plays an indispensable role in the functioning of the entire motor.
Yet other parts, of a different nature entirely, are also required for the motor to operate as perfectly as it was designed to operate by its creator.
Yet, each one of us, with our unique role in the Grand Mosaic of Life, must be able to recognize our individual value in its overall unfoldment.
This is the foundation of each one’s uniqueness and utility — thus a key element in how each one may, if they choose, define themselves.
The unity we seek as a human people is grounded in this realization — there is only one of us. We are all made from the same stock material.
Even our mistakes and imperfections are perfect, in this sense — because of what we can learn from them, because of how we can grow because of them (if we choose to do so).
You can define yourself according to your mistakes — or according to your potentials.
How we each perceive ourselves, also plays a role in how quickly and how completely our personal dreams and desires come about — the secret being, become inwardly equal to your dream and Life is set in motion to help bring it about — effortlessly.
Therefore, you now see the importance, and the foundational basis, for the following practice:
The Two Minute Self-Image Upgrade
Face the palm of either one of your hands (or both), so that they hover over your lower abdomen area about 6 inches or so away from your body, palm facing the body.
Exactly where you start from and how far from your body is not important — it is the general thought in mind that matters most.
The physical action is merely symbolic, yet, it captures the essence of your intention. Modify as you wish.
Contemplate for a few seconds, or for as long as your wish — on how you feel about yourself overall. Intend for this feeling to encapsulate your general sense of the self-image you are currently holding about yourself in order to derive your sense of self-worth.
You may or may not feel a slight warmth or presence that is related to the energy holding your conceptual self-worth. It is not necessary to feel this sensation in order for this to work, as it is your intention that determines the outcome.
Now, slowly, or as quickly as you wish, move your hand(s) upward, keeping them just a few inches away from your body, all the way up over your head, as your palm(s) begin to face upward and the arms open to the heavens naturally — as if you are raising this former self-image to the heavens and welcoming the greater, more expansive self-image as your newly chosen basis for self-worth.
Now, while embracing more of your true origin and infinite potentials in this upraised position, circle the palm(s) of your hands in a natural movement outwardly (in any fashion) and back toward your heart, then place your palm(s) physically onto your chest over your heart center — thereby, symbolically embedding your upgraded self-image within your heart.
Remain in this posture for as long as you desire, as you incorporate your greater self-image based on your true origins and natural growth process toward your newly recognized infinite potentials as an immortal soul.
The palm(s) on your heart need only rest there for a few seconds to be effective, although, as you enter into a deeper realization of who you truly are within the vast scope of all life, the inner peace and awe of the moment may well cause you to linger for a minute or two.
Throughout this entire upgrade exercise, take deep breaths naturally, as desired, symbolically bringing in the new you with the inhale, while releasing through the exhale, any image of self that you no longer choose to define yourself and your self-worth from.
You are the chooser of your self-definition, and you have free will to incorporate realizations as you wish.
You may repeat this simple 2 Minute Upgrade as often as you wish as well, with the understanding that deeper layers of self-definition will surface from time to time, and thus provide you with another opportunity to redefine and recreate yourself — as you choose.
Notice the immediate difference in how you feel about yourself now, and the potentials that exist before you. You may feel more relaxed and more inspired, or you may just feel lighter and a bit happier.
(If you rated yourself above, take stock of where you feel that you now sit on the scale of 0-10, so as to confirm the progress you have just accomplished in this short amount of time.)
A blessing on your journey forward into your own infinite potentials.
