Nope, the absolute #1 quest is – clarity. If there were a tagline for this age it might
very well be “I’m so confused and I don’t know what to do.” What they mean is that what they really WANT
is buried so deep under layers of “This knowledge is too scary – don’t, whatever
I say, let me know this truth” that they couldn’t excavate it with a
power-shovel.
Truth is so scary for so many of us because if we knew what
we really needed and what we really wanted for ourselves we would have to
initiate really, really scary conversations with people about the amount of
relative power we have in our lives. We
might need to have conversations that threaten our financial survival or our
definition of ourselves.
When someone comes to me seeking clarity, it is nearly
always true that clarity is being deliberately obscured as a self-protection
mechanism by the person’s deep unconscious.
I particularly admire the clients who, when they start to
realize what clarity would really mean, take a deep breath, strap on their
Courage backpack, take their Courage vitamins, and plunge into the depths. When that happens, the most glorious
transformations become possible.
Sometimes, the reality isn’t as scary as the nightmares dreamed up by
their (frequently mistreated or emotionally abandoned) child-selves. Sometimes the reality is about right. Sometimes the reality is much, much worse.
What is always true is that the courage to dive deep and
face truth with deep breathing and slow steps and as many emotions as come up
is a rare and glorious commodity.
The people who walk that path to their own and genuine
truth, whether they are looking for clarity, more entrepreneurial success, a
better career, better health or better something else, are my personal heroes.
God bless you all, every one! You are the brave souls who bring light to human life. Bless you
all, every one.
