Finding Fulfilment through Reconciling Shame

Authenticity is the only path to true fulfilment.

 But culture today is largely unfulfilled.

Let’s deconstruct the limitations to authenticity:

Lack of fulfillment is purely symptomatic.

It’s one of the outermost symptoms, yet it’s a deep inner sensation. 

Cultivating fulfillment begins with reconciling inauthenticity.

A lack of authenticity is caused by holding shame in your system.

Think of shame and guilt as a lead belt attached to you at all times. 

Despite wearing a coat to cover the belt, you are still limited by its density. 

Shame and guilt are the most dense of human emotions.

BUT, they are perfectly human.

They are the doorways to deeper freedom where authenticity is the default. 

The essence of shame is self-concept of disharmony.

“I feel more safe when I am not my-self.”

It’s easy to see how futile this makes the process of cultivating true success, fulfilment, and freedom In anyone’s life. 

Shame is root-cause blockage whose symptoms are:

-        micro-abandoning yourself

-        believing you are mediocre

-        nervous system dysregulation whenever opportunity arises

Shame prevents you from fully being you.

Here’s how you can reconcile shame:

-        Accept that shame is human.

-        Create safety to feel the shame and where it comes from

-        Note the repetitive stories that arise when relating to shame

-        Hold the You in those stories

-        Realize it doesn’t need to define you

-        Who are you in the absence of shame?

Freedom lives before shame.

Shame occupies the space where authenticity naturally lives.

Holding, collaborating, and reconciling shame is a process of dissolution. 

Shame is not the problem, you just learn to stop having a problem with shame.

In the absence of shame you are naturally authentic.

When you are naturally authentic you are effortlessly fulfilled.

When you are effortlessly fulfilled you are in complete alignment with Creation.

Complete alignment is your birthright.
