Trigger warning: Real Talk
“I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man’s. I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.” — William Blake
I always loved this quote, ever since I read it in highschool. I even wanted to get it tattooed on me at one point. I still might.
I think Mr Blake was spot on when he said / wrote these words. I feel like he is eluding to the fact that if you aren’t a sovereign entity, if you aren’t existing from a state of #awareness, then you are easily manipulated by the ideas and thoughts of others.
But what does it mean to be a #sovereign entity?
For myself, one of the things it means is that I don’t like to allow other people or situations have control of my emotions.
You may be sitting there, reading this now and thinking – “well I don’t do that” – but if you allow yourself to become reactive emotionally when someone in your life challenges you or attacks you, then the person who is instigating this situation is the one who is controlling how you feel. You are essentially giving your power to this person.
This is the same for any situation in your life – you watch a sad advertisement on TV, shed a tear – then that advertiser is controlling your emotional response.
The covid-19 pandemic situation publicized by the main stream media is pushing out a narrative of fear, and people are responding by being scared. Not realising that they are choosing to be scared or outraged because they aren’t living consciously. They aren’t a sovereign being, the news is actually in control of how they feel and dictating what their #emotional response is.
Please remember, fear and stress, being in constant / fight mode, engages the parasympathetic nervous system which suppresses the immune system.
You choose your reaction. Be informed but don’t attach negative, fear based emotions to how you feel. Stay neutral or positive. Remember that everything happens for a reason.
Most people leak their power and sovereignty everywhere and don’t even realise they are doing it.
When you control your emotional response, you are actually also controlling your #energetic footprint. You are also ceasing to feed the collective consciousness with disconnection and fear.
This has most certainly been one of my own challenges throughout my journey. As a result of this, living consciously as a sovereign being has definitely become one of my major life goals.
Sovereignty comes with practicing and evolving awareness and the more that an individual can limit their identification with thought -, the constructed false sense of “self” that has been imprinted on them since they were born, the more they become their own universe. They manifest their reality consciously.
It’s quite the paradox. To live from a place of true #authenticity, you must destroy your “self”. The “self” that you have been constructing since the day you were born.
Thoughts create emotions. #Emotions that feel negative in nature, feed more negative thoughts.
Don’t buy into that cycle. Observe your thoughts, do not let them control you.
I’m not perfect, no one is. But sharing these thoughts enables me to get closer to my goal of sovereignty. As I teach, I learn.
Also, I have to mention that my notions of emotional sovereignty are in no way related to the political “sovereign citizen” movement.
Enjoy your “now”✌️
