Declaring oneself: Claim the
gift(s) and bring it (them) back. Traditional renaming and/or
declaring oneself and the gifts we have to give. We can only give to
the level we have gone. We cannot give what we do not have.
Declaring onself is about putting the pieces back together in
awareness of both the depth and breath of our being.
Background
What is declaring oneself? Declaring oneself is about putting the
subconscious and unconscious pieces we have explored together into a
wholeness and new understanding as to how we define ourselves. It is
to understanding what we have found really means for our life and
put it into a context to live our live. It is to find and claim the
gift or gifts that lie within our being
There are aspects of our being that are not revealed until we die to
who and what we have come to believe we are and empty ourselves of
how and what we believe. In taking the journeys of “Dying before we
die “and “Emptying ourselves,” we need to be willing to claim what
surfaces and what we find. It may be something totally unexpected or
it may simply be a reorientation of what we current do in a more
focus, deeper intense effort. However we must be willing to claim
and take ownership of what we find.
One note does need to be made here about going within and exploring
the depth of our being. If what we find within our being does not
cause us to desire to
create the space of
freedom for others simply
because we know what it feels like to have constraints put on the
essence of our being and the freedom of the
creative spirit which
lies within our heart, we have not gone deep enough. What lies at
the
Source of Creation and the source/Source of our being is
consciousness at play with itself desiring to freely express itself.
The
play of the Source is an innocent and spontaneous play of
discovery and exploration of itself and its own
creative
ability and creative power. The first experience of oneness we can face is to
realize with an
experiential knowing, although we may get to the
experience through an
intellectual knowing, that what is inside each
of us is the same and flows from the same Source. It is to
experientially know each is a unique expression of that Source based
on the experience we have had. But this is not an intellectual
knowing and something only held in
mind. It is to know
experientially in some way how we are all interconnected and what
lies in each heart is of the same essence looking for its
free
expression.
We cannot give what we don’t have. We can only help an individual to
discover themselves and their own
truth to the level we have
accessed
our truth. We can only help an individual to live their
truth to the level we live our truth. The deeper we go, the more we
see what separates us from another. We can come to see what
separates us from each is our unique experience of
pain and our the
uniqueness of our
mind.
The essence of each at the deepest levels of being is the same. When
we experience the essence of our being we know what stands between
us and another. In that awareness we can
create the space for
another to become
free for we know what needs to be done for
ourselves and another. In giving that
gift to another, we give that
gift to ourselves for we must first allow ourselves to be free to
know how to free another.
When we access the
source of our
being, we are able to become the
uniqueness we offer. Knowing the essence of each of us is the same,
by looking within we can come to know what
gifts we have to off and
we can being to see the uniqueness in any other. In declaring our
gift we can begin to bring them out. Traditionally there has been a
renaming when we bring forth for our inner
truth for our world
becomes different
The name we have is the name given to us by our enculturated world.
The renaming is to choose a name that fits the
gifts we have to
offer. The renaming is about what we will call ourselves or see
ourselves to be after we have been reborn to live our own
truth and
not what we have been enculturated to believe is
our truth. It is to
recognize a new life is coming forth and that new life must be
appropriately recognized and named. Whether we use this name or not
is irrelevant. What is relevant is we recognize the gifts we have
and the life that gift brings forth into the world.
Recommendations for declaring oneself
Readjusting the pieces of the puzzle - a reevaluation of our life:
Redraw our
life map and/or
tell our story based on the new
information and understanding we have accessed. Include in the story
the need to go within and rebirth ourselves based the shedding of
our enculturation and the
free expression of
our truth, Look to see
the difference in how we previously lived and how we now see the
world and our lives differently. It is to understand even more
differences may be revealed as we being to live our truth in the
world and we need to be open to what is revealed.. We need to be
open to what is revealed to
create the space of what is revealed to
grow and unfold. Share your life map/story
Exploring our gift through mind: There always is the question, what
exactly what is our
gift, “Have I got it right?” One way to look at
our gift is to look at our knowledge and skill inventory. Look to
see what it is we seem to be able to do with ease in life. However,
it need to be realized that often we do not know what knowledge and
skill we have until we experiment with life and do different types
and kinds of things. Only in
doing our own experiments do we come to
know what we can really do. Yet our gift may not be what it is we do
with ease but how we are able to bring our knowledge and skill to
bear on a seemingly impossible task. Exploring our gift through
mind
is to look at our knowledge and skill and see what they point us to
do in life. It is then look what activities these knowledge and
skills allow us to do that really brings a
passion to our life and
makes life worth living.
Exploring our gift through feeling: Another way to look at our
gift
is to look at what activity in life really make us feel alive, make
us full of live, gives us a
passion for live and to live life. In
many ways it is to revisit the
calibration of the internal compass
exercise. It needs to be realized we came into life to have a life.
There is something, some experience, that has called us forth into
this world and caused, or is the occasion, for us to have a life in
this world. That which gives us life and a desire to be alive moves
us toward what we came here to experience. It needs to be noted that
feeling will always better direct us toward our gift than what our
mind thinks.
Renaming: Whatever we come to think our
gifts are, we need to claim
them and name them so that our
mind knows that with which it will
work. The exercise is to rename ourselves based on the gifts we
perceive ourselves to have and start living those gifts. However,
naming our gifts may in fact limit our gifts. The way around this is
to continually be aware of what we feel. If in naming our gifts and
living the name, we slowly being to lose the fulness of life and
enthusiasm for life, we have named them wrong and are living a
construction of mind rather than the
truth of our being.
