My Higher Self Speaks

I had a conversation the other evening with Maryam Webster, author of Everyday Bliss for Busy Women. Maryam is an old friend who has supported ZPoint from the very beginning.

Maryam and I were discussing different approaches to healing. There is the psychological model, where we attempt to fix what’s broken, or there’s the spiritual model where we work to uncover our true selves.

I recall a wonderful quote from Michaelangelo who was asked how he was able to capture such beauty with his sculpture. Turning to his latest work which was an Angel, he replied that his job was to see the Angel within the stone, whole and complete, and then to chip away at the stone until he freed it.

We are very much like that Angel trapped within the stone except that what traps us are beliefs and attitudes that prevent us from seeing the truth about life. We see what we expect to see and those expectations are born of cherished beliefs about who we think we are. Who we’ve been told we are by parents, teachers, peers, Television. The list goes on and on. What if we are NOT that? You either are or you aren’t. There’s no middle ground here.

We are not broken, we never were. We’ve merely accepted ways of looking at our lives that are untrue. We live on Planet Earth among those who believe that they will die one day and be extinguished unless they believe a certain thing or act in certain ways or dress and speak in certain ways. We take the word of authority figures for who we are. After all, they must know, right?

What if these ways are not true? What if we really are spiritual beings, and powerful ones at that?

What if you already know the truth but it’s buried within you, underneath everything you’ve learned about life so far? Perhaps it’s time to know the truth for yourself rather than taking someone else’s word for it.

I am not against religion. In fact, I am not against anything. I am however, FOR anything that helps you remember who you are. I am FOR anything that encourages you to release your identification with those things that you are NOT. I am FOR simply embracing those things those things that make you feel good about yourself, your life and your world. They are your connection to your higher self and the freedom that that brings.

We are not born to suffer. Suffering is caused by resisting who you truly are. You’ve been taught to believe that you are somehow less, and those lessons have been painful. Until you really decide to free yourself, to commit to it, you are a prisoner of your beliefs no less than that Angel trapped within the stone. You are not born to suffer. Suffering is optional.

We are not meant to live in lack. Believing in limitation itself is the root cause of lack. We are spiritual beings who by our very thoughts create the situations and circumstances of our lives. If there is lack, it is only because you have created it. You are that powerful.

We are going through an extraordinary time on this planet. We are all being pushed to either evolve and move on to a new level of living or to continue living in fear and lack and to manifest everything that that energy aligns with. Never in our history has this choice been more evident as more and more people are caught up in an increasing spiral of fear and helplessness. Checked the price of gas lately?

Which path do you choose?

Know that you are not powerless. In the past 20 years many tools have been given to help you connect with who you truly are. ZPoint is only one tool among many although it is one of the simplest. I encourage you to make a stand in your life and to adopt a daily spiritual practice that will bring you into alignment with your Higher Self. Even 15 minutes a day can make a huge difference.

On August 2nd and 3rd 2008 I will be facilitating a ZPoint Personal Peace Practitioner Training here in Toronto. The purpose of this training is twofold.

First, participants will be trained in all aspects of The ZPoint Process in order that they may teach ZPoint to others. And second, it is my intention to guide participants through all aspects of the Process to achieve a deep and lasting level of peace in their own lives. They can then easily pass that peace along to others. For more information, please click here.
