The Pathwork of the Soul (the X Factor of Life)

We have all felt left-handed in some way at some time. We have all felt like the middle child at some time. What is your left-handedness? What is your middle child-ness?

Your “left-handedness” or your middle child-ness” is your “inner story”. This inner story is often reflected in experiences in your outer world so that you can heal and transform your “inner story” and thus heal and transform your life. Your “inner story” is often based on fear that others have projected onto you based on their view of the world. Their fear has seeped into your consciousness.

Our purpose in life is to evolve our consciousness from the “fear-based” consciousness of struggle, suffering, lack and pain into a “love-based” consciousness of peace, joy, fulfillment and union with the unconditional love of God. We take this journey “step-by-step”, day-by-day” by examining our world. When we stop, look and listen to what life is telling us, we can learn the lesson and transform our consciousness.

Our “inner story” is held in our heart, which is the core energy of creativity that lives within us. Our story is then projected onto the “movie screen” of our outer world so that we can see what we are creating.

For example, Joe has constantly been told that he is not enough. In his heart he feels that he is not enough. He can’t finish projects for fear of withering criticism. If he doesn’t finish, he won’t get criticized. However, this has not has positive outcomes in his life and career and he is not so disappointed by the lack of fulfillment in his life that is heart is breaking.

In another example, Chris received attention from her parents (and thus Love) when she was sick. In her heart, Chris associates being ill with love. Therefore, she makes herself sick in order to get the love that she needs to survive. Yet on the earth plane, she can’t understand why she can’t seem to get well.

In all three examples, these people have told themselves a story in their heart (their core of creativity). This story is not in truth. Judy’s story about being the middle, left-handed child is not true. We are all lefthanded children and god loves us all, just as we are. We were made unique in order to fulfill god’s purpose of creating a rainbow of infinitely loving expression. Joe’s story is not in truth. He is perfect just as he is. The illusion of perfection that has been foisted upon him was someone else’s projection. They believed that if they raised the “perfect” child then they would be okay in God’s eyes. What the truth is that they already raised the perfect child because Joe is okay just as he is. Chris’ story is that she must “do something” in order to get love. In truth she is a human being, not a human doing. She just has to be still and receive God’s love, but on some level of her heart, she does not know this story, cannot accept this story, or is unable or unwilling to move past this story.

So how do we heal the heart at the deepest level so that it feels filled with love and peace? How do we heal the heart so that is quick to forgive, remember the truth, and give itself the joy and fulfillment that it needs?

First we have to destroy the myth that it is difficult. Start with the story that is at the root of the issue and observe what that story is creating in each moment of your life. You’ll find that you do not have a whole myriad of issues. You have one or two erroneous stories. They just keep repeating throughout your life with different casts.

How do you find the story? You have a helper. Your Inner Child. Find your safe space (not new-age hooey, but a place in your mind that is receptive to the peace and love of God – remember, The Kingdom of Heaven lies within you). You inner child has been teethed and trained on Conditional Love. Teach it unconditional love. When it trusts you, you can teach it a new script. Finish old conversations with people from your past. Start a new conversation with them. Create your new story. Make this your new habit.
