Before we explain more about the complaining voice, we need to recognize and begin to empower the part of us that will accomplish our goal. I am talking about the part of us referred to as the observer.
This observer, or witness consciousness has a voice too, and it's the voice you hear that does reflect your higher wisdom and ideals. What I consider an expression of your bigger self. The part of you that took the knowcomplaints oath, joined this movement and wants to change for the better.
This is your observer, and it is HANDS DOWN where your true power lies. From this place your true wisdom and heart speak. The character of this part of you is generally in-line with your consciously chosen values and ideals.
This witness watches us as if we are watching a friend. The advantage of this is huge! It not that it can just see us, it's where we will find our ability and strength to choose and act in spite of our complaining mind.
From here we can manifest courage, and override any feisty, mischievous voice that wants to defeat us or not go along with our decisions. It's the part of us that can rise above our personality. What do I mean?
To be simple, let's say our personality is this part of us that has characteristics that we identify with as who we are. Our likes, dislikes, opinions; our thoughts and feelings.
Our character/personality is only part of us, yet it's significant. Extremely significant because it is usually controlling our life. It's what we habitually give our attention to most of the time. How we feel, and what we like or don't like monopolizes us. We are allowing our personalities to run our life, and we need to see this as an issue. Until they have been challenged and healed, they will continue to create problems.
To do this healing we need to develop a stronger connection with our observer first. It's our observer that can manage and orchestrate the whole healing process the way it needs to be done.
You are the observer, the awareness that sees your thoughts and feelings come and go. You are the space in which your feelings and thoughts arise and pass away.
What is important for now, is that you realize that you are bigger than the complaining mind and you have the ability to manage it and change it.
I offer that your witness and it's voice reflect the wise and evolved part of you. You, this wise witness, can discriminate between what parts of your personality/character you like and want to develop, or what parts you want to heal and release. In the same way you've decided to heal and release the complaining, critical and condemning mind.
The witness is the authentic, wise and experienced you that is trying to manage and negotiate this experience you are having called life. If it's not already in gear and something you are engaged with, once you get it up and running you will be shocked at the amazing possibilities.
The observer can create anything it wants and change your life for you because it has free will. Free will to respond to people and life from a place of choice that considers feelings but isn't a slave to them. Your observer can decide what you should do, and then empower you do it. This is very different than just saying or doing what you feel like saying or doing without pause.
There is a gap of insight and clarity here I call "conscious hesitation." The golden play. Your observer can see, stop, step out and breathe, and consciously wait to act or speak. This is the magic and the power. It can get you to wait and understand your thoughts and feelings before you act on them, so you can make an appropriate decision as to what to do next. Isn't that amazing? If you aren't ecstatic about this you will be.
This is real free will. The free will to heal and rise above all that keeps us from living from our heart. That keeps us from living and expressing our spiritual values, ethics and intentions.
The intention of this movement, is to ultimately embrace your free will and stabilize your presence in this place of awareness. This way you can rest and relax in a place of grounded strength, safety, and love no matter what. And from this magnificent view, manage the interactions between you and your thoughts and emotions in a very fun, curious, effective and friendly way that will allow you to thrive; even find peace and happiness! :)
Please take the time to pay attention to your witness and what it has to say?
Thank you for listening. I predict some very interesting conversations with yourself about this...
Peace to you, Bryan
