You can’t put a label on your nature

In my 50 years on this Earth in this life, I have not found a label that fitted me wholly.?

Despite feeling belonging to a certain group that identifies as ________ (fill in the blank), there was always this sense, an awareness that who I really am is not only that - but more than that.

I was initially going to list some of the examples, but I shan’t because they are relevant to me, and you have, I am sure, the examples that are relevant to you. This need inside me likes to keep things simple, and it also likes to touch really big life subjects. As always, I will honour it to the best of my ability, and simply translate this sense into the words we use to communicate our thoughts and meaning in the hope to shed a light on something that might recognise itself inside you - a reflection of sorts, a resonance.

No category can box me in without my soul feeling notably constricted. Every instinct inside me stands against it and informs me that Yes, I might be that, but I am not only that - I am MORE THAN THAT.?

I am more than my gifts, I am more than my bloodline, I am more than the colour of my skin. And I see you the same way. I don’t need to limit any of your vastness or freedom, or depth - the same way I don’t do it to myself. It’s even more than that, more than unwillingness or stubbornness, or inability. The very essence of my being indicates that my truth is in alignment with the universal truth. And I respect that. Furthermore, I will stay faithful to it irrespective of your views, because it has served me well in life to stay open to realising more of who I am. By the way, when I say I - I also mean You and all of us, without any exceptions. The highest, purest inside me sees the same inside you, and there is no separation.

The point isn’t to merge into one thought but to notice that the meaning is the same in different viewpoints. The higher you reach the big picture, the easier this will be to comprehend. Once again, this is more than just a conversation of minds, this is communicated from that which comes before the mind and involves more than just our minds. This is intelligence that you have access to.

There is no ‘tribe’ out there with which I identify and I would argue that when we pledge allegiance to any group of people that goes by any label, and when we accept and identify as that label -?we automatically restrict ourselves from being that + more! Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Why would you limit your spirit? You were born limitless. There is a necessity, a need, and an advantage to you being born exactly as you were. Have you discovered that? For that is your strength, your gift which you can perfect and share and inspire others to reach for their own unique expression of the universal light of pure love.

Because of all this, I will never accept any label, for a label is a limitation. However, there are valid terms that one can use to craft their sense of ‘I am’ and put that into word form - as we sense are fit in this moment. Always in this moment. Who I am - changes constantly, unfolds and flows like a river.?

I see the process of sharing this as our ticket to self-mastery. There are sparks of light we can only see and recognise when we see it reflected through the eyes of another soul.

Minds and words depend upon our definitions, upbringing, experiences, habits, and a million other things that influence a human being, but our souls feel the oneness and they understand each other beyond the reach of words. Our souls are all of who we are + more. Now, that is a name I am happy to inhabit and reflect love to the world from the deepest part of me.

The only communities I am building are full of unlimited, free spirit that is independently strong, but supportive of each other. We strengthen the relationships through creative conversation and creative application to realise new perspectives and expand each individual’s capacity to become more of who they were born to be.

When we are strong independently but stand together firmly, I believe this is the only way to true empowerment, and benefit for all (inside and outside, of course) equally.?

How do you see yourself, dear friend? Where are the borders of your being??

*****

And here it is. If your thoughts are loud and busy, you won't be able to hear the subtle but unmistakable guidance of your soul. Tune into it - and you have aligned with your path.?

It is simple, but not always easy. I am always available to hear you if you want to master the only relationship that is the key to everything in life - your relationship with yourself! ??
