- You hide your light, because
you feel guilty about owning your personal power.
- You allow yourself to be
limited by other peoples’ limitations and find
yourself participating in your own demise.
- You feel bad that your light
sometimes withers other people, so you dim it down.
This self-abnegation short-circuits the realization
of your dreams and the fulfillment of your destiny,
which in turn diminishes your impact on the world.
- You fear the potential responsibility,
overwhelm, and danger associated with living as a
big spirit.
- You don’t fully express
yourself—you erase yourself before others can
do it—to avoid being attacked by people who
are freaked out by big spirits.
- You go unconscious and live
a life based not on your own, but on somebody else’s,
agenda and values.
- You live in a world of “shoulds”
rather than in the world of “I AM.”
- You are emotionally, spiritually,
and psychically drained by having to constantly suppress
who you really are and go out of your way not
to make a difference.
- Sometimes, to numb the heartache
of not being yourself, you turn to alcohol, other
drugs, overwork, overscheduling, and other adrenalin-driven
behavior (busy, busy, busy, wash, wipe, mow, shop,
repair), or get caught up in stories and “drama.”
- You are made edgy and uncomfortable
from the friction of rubbing up against something
other than your own skin, and the internal pressure
of unrelenting existential crisis.
- Beneath the surface of your
ostensibly “successful” life, you feel
restless and glum, no matter how much you accomplish,
how much others admire you, or how much you buy—without
knowing why.
- This last one’s the
biggie: You’re afraid that if you live through
your big spirit, if you live your truth and shine
that big light, you’ll leave other people behind.
(And, yes, you probably will. You will also inspire
some of them to come with you.)
And
you cut through all this how?
When the big spirit
in me talks to the big spirit in you, anything can happen.
