The Conversation: You are alone

No one is coming to save you. There is only one person in this world that has the ability to rescue you. The conversation that nobody wants to acknowledge is that we are born alone and will die alone. The integrity of this notion can be found in loss and separation.

Not until enough things have been chased, concluding an unfilled heart, that we can realize that the thing we are in pursuit of is ourselves, as this journey is on the road of solitude. Think about every experience, feeling, and situation up to now you have had, and the source of origins of where these are created. There is a choice behind each of these events that awaits us, and the decision-made brings one closer or further from themselves.

Science is unlocking data that the universe as we know it resides in the intangible space within human beings. The delusion rests in that we think things are happening to us, when in reality nothing is happening but what we are choosing.

Saying we are alone should not be taken at face value. In the confines of our solitude we are moving through the halls of our minds and hearts. We are searching for the same thing, and upon surrendering and letting go one will discover that all things have always been conspiring in their favor.

The universe is not revealed in outward observations, but in silent examinations of the human condition. The connections are everywhere. The word universe is broken down into uni (meaning one) and verse (meaning song). We are all singing the same song but do not recognize this truth because there is too much noise going on in their day-to-day lives.

There is a voice within the shell of the human body that is heard by an individual because they are moving through an awareness that intends to guide, influence, and move them into their potential. Potential can mean external or internal. This voice is our companion and has occupied our space from day one.

The journey of solitude is the road to freedom. On this path as the noise subsides a veil is lifted from the mind and heart, and what is left is nothing but ourselves. Knowing that you have nothing to lose by choosing yourself is liberating.

Like a child in a playground, when we choose ourselves first we move freely about the world. The blank canvas of the playground offers new conversations with seeds that get planted deep in our imaginations. Success in life is an inside job.

Into the dark we must go alone, to find our companion called I, while emerging on the other side and finding out that the villain and hero have both been played by you. Nobody can enter into the threshold of your mind or heart.

The act of returning back to ourselves is through submission of our paradigms. No one can give us the love we seek in the way we are seeking it, which brings to the forefront the next delusion that is waiting to fill the void within. Trust yourselves while having vulnerability, grace in forgiving yourself, at the same time being kind in moving through your heart.

The people who come into the new seasons of our lives are mere reflections that guide us into our divine nature. Do not take for granted your alone time for this is where the prize is found. Our alone time is a precious commodity where self-discovery is visited, new worlds are traversed, and the courage to face the man in the dark so that one day they can experience freedom.

In our lives we desire and crave external comfort and validation as the primary source of our love. Today, ignorance will be yours no more, and your confusion will be met with confidence of choosing yourself. When we confide in ourselves, this choice transforms the integrity within us, and makes us more whole.

Trust the voice within you for it knows something you do not. Be patient in these new conversations and know that when you become aware of the voice you are about to be led somewhere where magic is created. This is the place where one lives and dwells and cannot be ignored.

What would happen to your life if you chose yourself first?
