The Inner Critic.

I was in a writing class this weekend and we all had to share our inner critics.
Mine was the little, dirty monster girl otherwise known as Little Daimon.
Because that just sounds cooler.
Anyways, as everyone went around the room sharing what their inner critic said, I wanted to jump across the table and proclaim: Don't listen to them! They're lying!
And then I realized: Oh my god, I need to tell that to myself more.
That was revelation one.
Now for revelation two.
Our little demons - these inner critics are also the source of our inner genius.
Otherwise known in mythology, or if you read Phillip Pullman books, as the daimon.
For those of you who subscribe to nonduality, as I do, the demon is also an angel.
And behind that they are a thought form.
You can transmute this demon with unconditional love into this neutral form.
Into your inner genius.
By using your higher self, your angel.
It is kind of like the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.
If you listen to this inner monster and dialogue with them from your inner angel, with compassion, something happens.
The anger, the harshness, seems to fall away...
or
It will fight you...but you just keep listening and sharing more compassion and understanding.

Once you can learn this voice wants to be heard, but is not necessarily the present truth...
It might be the truth of your mother, your father, those bullies, those mean strangers...
With this realization, you can take those projections off to the nakedness that stands there.
Your true self.
Your daimon.
This is what you use to communicate with the gods.
With the field.
With the all-knowing, timeless, essence of creativity.
The realm of memory, ideas, imagination.
Once this communication is open you will blossom.
The little beast never stops BUT you can remember next time it is only a facet of the multidimensional self.
It's just an expression rather than a fact.
And you can paint with it instead of letting it force you to give up those things you love!
The difference between "successful people" and others is that they keep going through that, they publish their work, regardless of those inner critics.
Never let that little voice make you give up your dreams. Your creations.
Let it speak to you. And speak back.
And let the waters of life open to you.

And now for some of my little monster's critiques so you don't feel alone:
Indeed. I am a monster. Monsters are chaos beasts. The original meaning of beast was something unusual. And that I am. We all are. We are an impossibility, yet we are here. Each making our unique mark on the world. Chaos is disorder but as we all know underneath chaos is order that defies logic.
Therefore we are all unique, defying logic.

3 个月Yes! We must talk to our inner demons, and challenge them. They never go away so we might as well befriend them. They are trying to keep us safe. They are trying to keep us in our comfort zone. But greatness never blooms in comfort zones. We must allow ourselves to shine bright. Thank you for the inspiration ?? You’re awesome

3 个月#ConflictAndDialogue ?The inner critic often clashes with the higher self, creating internal tension. Engaging in a compassionate dialogue between these aspects can lead to personal insights and growth. - Or, https://youtu.be/6nAjUeyjND4?si=_7DDDwUDdXge0lJh #TheBaladOfLoveAndHate Dana Kippel my Daimon is a beautiful critter, and inspiring - but it took time for [] me- and - it [] to have kind words. It feels good knowing that someone is learning to transform that inner critic into a co- author of an enchanting story; Realms of Plasma driven spirits yearning to: find, have, and even give of their highest capacity - #RealmsOfPlasma #TheHeartWorkOfTheArtwork

3 个月Wow….as I have come to anticipate from your inner musings, the powerful inner angelic being that is Dana …how fitting for us to look that critical spirit right in the lower vibrational eye, and say….I/we do not accept your words as absolute truth….what you say, little Daimon, might carry legitimate weight in my past and even feel harsh in my present reality….but I/we chose NOW in this new reality to consider and consult with our soul, our collective consciousness and with our guardian angel of light and higher vibrational existence and say…thanks, Daimon, for bringing this to our attention, so that we can learn and grow and welcome this fresh opportunity to grow, include others and yes, expand and amplify goodness and kindness….because that feels better and helps others too! Dana…your vulnerability just made my day better
