On Sovereignty...

This is an excerpt from the 18 June 2004 daily report.

Sovereignty. It's in the news lately, with Iraq's upcoming sovereignty. But more than this I have found the whole concept of sovereignty coming up again and again in conversations or work. There are many definitions of Sovereign in the dictionary. The one I think fits here are "of or holding the position of power, royal, reigning", and then " above or superior to all others; chief, greatest, supreme". We all know what this means as in a country. One thing I learned very quickly through energy flow was that we are each sovereign within ourselves . Totally independent and whole with our own power. We retain full reign and power over ourselves at all times.

This means that at deep levels, we do not let anyone else cross our boundaries, stir our souls, look into our minds, interpret our feelings, read our thoughts or harm us physically - unless we ourselves sanctioned that as being of use to us. No "psychic" , anywhere, is ever going to able to tell us or see into us except in ways that we sanction. People will pick up things about us that they are supposed to pick up about us. On a need to know basis. As in we need to know at that moment on our path and we have picked them to relay this into experience for us. We are sovereign unto ourselves. We are whole.

But that does not mean we feel we are sovereign. We may not feel we are whole. This is the crux. Being sovereign and feeling sovereign can be vastly different. For most of humanity being and feeling sovereign is vastly different, hence all the power wars within and without. We feel others can or are doing things "to us" and this trips the alarm that we need to protect ourselves. The more we do this the more we are separating and the more we separate, the more we widen this gap between knowing we are whole and feeling this truly. In fact, to the degree that we feel we must protect ourselves, that is the degree to which we do not feel our sovereignty. And this is the degree to which we also might run around trying to fill our "holes" .

When I first became aware of subtle energy and of deeper goings-ons in general, one of the first things I did was run head-first to a belief that I needed to protect myself. This was because when I first chose to go down spiritual pathways in a serious sense, I then was simply becoming aware of how much I did not feel sovereign! It would take much more explanation to go into the process and details of this, but this is the crux. I hadn't felt sovereign before but I simply hadn't known it as radically - as consciously - as I did when I began tuning in . Instead of understanding this gift of awareness and deeply exploring what it *meant to me * I took it as a surface sign. It was me against "them". I looked for and found many ways outlined in books and such on how to protect oneself. Circles of protection. Cutting ties with people who were sapping me. Setting crystals to make protection grids. Little devices of various sorts. I thought I was finally outlining my boundary. It was a bit disconcerting to see that none of this ever made me feel truly protected for long (big clue yet one we deliberately ignore!). The need for protection just kept getting larger in fact. So I just kept thinking that I needed to augment my modes of protection. Depending how reactive one is, the stakes can run themselves up in no time at all to a fever pitched level!

We are sovereign though. So this is like saying I was trying to protect myself from myself! Logically this will not work - it did not work - because who knows us better than we do? We can create hugely fearful episodes , designed to scare the heck out of us. I have found that Nobody can or does it better than we to ourselves. We may put many faces on it and outside type energy feels. Part of our brilliance in designing the perfect capers . Except for this: Nobody does anything unless with our express permission. We are sovereign.

How to close that gap between knowing we are sovereign and truly feeling this? A very good start is with a basic policy to Open Up anything that is locked or feels tight. This starts with our express *permission* as sovereign to do so. If we still feel we need to protect ourselves, we will not be giving that full permission. We may want to, but we will be holding a part of that war-code in place. This is what I have learned personally. I have also learned that the more I open up the better I feel. I may not even know how to open up, but that's ok. That I am willing to work on it means the most. Intent and heart are everything. And the more I open up, ironically, the more solid my boundaries actually have become. The less "holes" I have and the more I can feel "whole". I have had people tell me not to open my heart so wide , to protect my light. I think that what saves me every single moment of my life IS that I am open . That I am willing to open up in any way I may not be. That I am actively looking to be open. Not actively looking to block , to separate. Can you see this as a basic spin mechanism that shapes our entire life? Either reverse or forward spin. Our will to live and our very most basic code for doing so. Forward spin is open, emanating outwardly and brilliantly. Reverse spin cycles constantly back inwardly and we are then constantly being bombarded with reverse momentum which feels , well, scary and locked (and painful sometimes too) . We are trying to fling reverse momentum outward though, so it is going to come back to us as an outward mode in appearance. Aka - people or others doing things "to poor little us". However, this is much more akin to a boomerang we didn't know we threw that comes back to hit us on the head. To which we throw up even more powerful attempts at protecting ourselves from this. To which comes right back at us this even greater energy of reverse spin. It is a vicious cycle of our own making. And for me this was ongoing until I understood I was fighting my own sovereignty! And gosh that power I was fighting was supremely strong! Because I - we all - are sovereign and thus supremely strong! Anyone these days that I see still talking about good guys and bad guys (this means group supremacy of any type, even religious, or any beings trying to pull us down and thwart our good efforts, etc) are simply not feeling their sovereignty and still retain a protection need, no matter how well they may couch it. No matter how differently. We are moving , en masse, away from this from what I can see. We are both the good and bad guys in our life. To not see this is to be resisting what we are doing now En Masse, which is to see these polarities not as polarities but as the whole. Our full sovereignty of expression meeting us head-on. As it always has. As it always will. I simply share this for whatever it may be worth.
