Are you your own authority?
In our minds, authority is associated with someone, a group, or a group of people representing an institution that sets rules and frameworks to be complied with.
Some of them are “inbuilt”, deeply rooted in the religion, traditions and social structures of the people of the land.
Some of them are outdated, others are to be cherished, keeping them alive.
We need these frameworks as children to “place ourselves” on the game board of Earthly experiences.
With time, some of the structures start to feel overwhelming, controlling, and suffocating. That is the moment when our soul and heart start to question what serves its evolution the highest and best.
Freedom of spirit also comes with remembering that we are the authority of our own existence.
It is easier said than implemented.
It is a choice not to look to the experts, the gurus, the parents, the partners, the government, or the system for directions.
Choosing not to outsource our power to anyone else requires bravery, courage, dedication, decision, and action.
We need clarity, discernment, and trust in source energy, the Creation, and so on, that we are supported on this path.
Choosing yourself means seeing and understanding the real needs, desires, and the call of your soul.
And it needs shadow work. Meeting your fears for the consequences of setting boundaries, saying no to parents, peers, partners, etc., and choosing your inner truth.
It takes time. Change is a process. And there are fallbacks, trials showing us where we stand.
This is part of our spiritual evolution. No one pushes you but yourself. You set the tempo.
Remember, you can be the Authority of your life, your thoughts, and your actions.
You belong to yourself. Anything else is the “setting”, the script that helps you see where you stand and what you want or do not want, in this Earthly experience.
Choose liberation of your existence, detaching from your imagined attachments and binding energies of any nature, inherited, learnt, or picked up on your life path until this very moment.
You have the powers, and you can do it.
Trust the process, trust your inner truth.
And remember, we are together on this journey.
