Some thoughts about "Mastery"

what is Mastery ??

once you make the decision as to what you want to "do" in your life, then you move into alignment with a certain "emotional space"

that decision is the move -- and making a decision is ALWAYS the "complication"

. . . from that point on, the only real "issue"

is whether you let fear influence your sense of "there-ness"

(a synonym for your "centeredness") and kick you off course

at which point the whole cycle of making a decision starts all over

example -- you decide you want to be an actor; people give you shit -- "have you been in any plays, are you on TV ??" etc etc etc

some times these questions make you question yourself, and therefore question if you made the right choice

if these "inquiries" cause you to "second guess" your decision, then truthfully you haven't really made a decision

you're simply shopping for what's on the "approved" list of choices

always a bad plan . . . and a guaranteed "time killer", as well

but it is the decision, followed by the recognition that in whatever state you find yourself 

this is where you "fit"

it is that recognition that changes your life

because it is the "fear" that you dont belong "there"

that causes most of your issues

there are details to work through, but they are simply details

and consciously you will work through them as they arise -- some easy, some pains in the ass

but the sense of "being there" is the hard part

once you decide -- then everything that follows is a task, not a burden

this, to me, is the key -- knowing you belong, because you made the decision this is who you are and what you're going to DO

don't look for results -- these are out of your control

make a decision about what you want to do . . . and then it is all a series of steps

no emotional turmoil, only a series of tasks to keep moving forward

my decision is not whether or not to "be a psychic" --- that is a detail, a step along a bigger path, one on which I am completely clear

my choice is to live a life in which I explore how past lives work and what it all means

if being a psychic helps feed me or helps me connect to others who may help me on that path, that is wonderful

sometimes I debate whether I am better served doing that or designing test plans for software implementations

but those are details -- I am "clear" about what I am doing

---

I sometimes debate the details -- that is a horse of a different complexion

however, I never question my true "path"

fear of judgment is what makes people search for meaning -- what they are really saying is I don't know if enough people will support my choice

maybe I should make one they will like better

but ultimately that "cycle" only feeds upon itself

one of the "problems" people "collide with" -- and why I have "job security" as a psychic 

is they have been "taught" their choices either (a) don't matter or (b) are never correct

this is an emotional land mine and not always so easy to work through

---

but what this ultimately does is make it more difficult to make the "choice" because you don't have a strong emotional foundation from which you can stand up for yourself

you are not "allowed" the freedom to choose and when you start to make choices the group doesn't "like" well they do those things they "do" in order to get you to conform

but, honestly, Mastery is an outgrowth of choice

not everything is going to be easy, but it is the choice that changes your world, for the better

Mastery is, on one level, moving into alignment with an emotional centeredness in which fear doesn't dissuade you from your purpose

nor negatively influence you powers to focus

most people have 90 things going on in their head all the time; a "Master" can more easily tune that "noise" out and do what needs to be done to move forward

make your CHOICE and then, truly, it is simply a series of tasks

the emotional "crisis" is, by and large, over

and that, by and large, is what it is "all about" :)
