'I Change the World' Consciousness: Julia Cameron Soul Awareness QuotationHi,
I found a few more quotations I like and added them to the list on the right side of this page. I added them just ahead of the last one by Marianne Williamson because Marianne's is one of my absolute favourites, so I wanted it to end the story of these personally meaningful quotes.
Of the new ones I just added, the one I want to highlight in this post is:
"Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are." -- Julia Cameron
This quotation is particularly meaningful for me because:
1st: I'm now on Day 22 of my recent restarting of writing my morning pages. Julia Cameron wrote the book the "Artist's Way" that discusses and describes the power of using the morning pages exercise to move through inner blocks to massively build and expand creativity.
2nd: Prior to beginning my recent creativity thrust again, I came to a place where accepting myself, again, at an ever-deeper level, was key. Self acceptance, now, is the only thing that moves you forward from this now moment. And I realised, again, that I was moving towards some future place, feeling I'd be complete then. And that can't happen. That undermines the forward movement itself.
Because celebration and complete acceptance of your Now is the only thing that coalesces the energy of You enough to move you in a smooth way into the power of the next Now moment.
Self acceptance is at the heart of creating every increased alignment with your Soul, with your Life and with your life purpose fulfillment.
There is no in between, no short cuts. Self acceptance. Down to your core. With all the stuckness, the outdated beliefs, the denied emotions, the habitual patterns of responding and causing drama and undermining graduation into vaster expressions of self.
It all starts with accepting yourself totally, lovingly, minutely, right Now.
3rd: Your personality self always has the power to choose to let through the vastness of your Soul for fuller and fuller self expression.
Your Soul is your absolute best friend. You wouldn't exist without your Soul simply because your Soul is the full expression of Life Itself in your life. You can use the word God, Allah, Jehovah or whatever other word you use to describe 'that which is bigger than me'.
Alignment with your Soul Self is the deep hunger you feel in your quiet moments when you know, when you honestly accept that there is still some deep lack of inner fulfillment in your already successful life.
Or in your moments of complete desolation and aloneness and fear of having no one and nothing that is really there for you.
Or in those moments of absolute beauty and happiness and aliveness when the truth of 'that which is bigger' hits you and cannot be denied.
These last moments often arise when you commune with nature: when you enter the vastness of the universe and stars through the magic of a wondrously inspiring night sky. Also when you become completely at one with the water around you whilst at the beach or lake or river. Or when you behold the magic of small children at play.
In the busyness of your life, during all the activities, it's hard for your Soul to 'get through'. Your Soul is not pushy, not forceful. Your Soul waits for you to be ready to allow its friendship in. Good friends do that because they know you have to come to your truth on your own.
You get to choose when that is. Even IF that is, this time around.
Julia's quotation speaks to you being always able to fulfill your deepest heart desires exactly where you are at right now. You are always a moment's choice away from stepping closely into alignment with the vastness of your Soul. Your authentic, all-knowing Self.
Your Soul is ready. Always has been and always will be. It is only a question of when, no if, you will choose to allow your Soul in. Into your life. As full partner. As best friend.
The IF is determined by your choice to allow your Soul in during this lifetime or the next time you come to play.
In each of the moments that you choose to explore your vastness deeper, to allow your vastness more direct access and expression into your daily life, it is in those Now moments that you align consciously with your Soul.
4th: The step into the vastness of the next moment relies only on you entering this Now moment with full heart, full gratitude, full listening. As you become still, as you listen to the inner vastness of your innate wisdom, your Soul guidance speaks softly and you know, you hear, you feel, the Soul suggestion of where to direct your life energy.
As you do this, moment to moment, your heart opens more. Your inner ears become more accustomed to the inner guidance voice of your Soul and you prove, moment by moment, day to day, that you do have a friend that's always there for you, at the exact spot, the specific space that you are at.
Julia Cameron's quotation again:
"Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are." -- Julia Cameron
Today, in between all that you are creating, spend a few minutes just breathing in the vastness of who you are. Feel and expand into this.
And enjoy the feelings that come up. Feel the safety net of your Soul's friendship that is always at your side, always beneath and always around you. Relax, renew. Then listen within and move onto your next powerful Now moment, more Soul aligned than before.
Until next time, Namaste,
Angela.
