Integration
Think about why you would have children. Think about why you would ever have a relationship with any child. If you lived in fear, then the prospect of having a relationship with a child would cause you to encounter the prospect of emotional suffering as you would have to eventually expose your child to a world that you feared. However, if you perceived that the world was good, then you would be elated in the idea that you could bring this child into a wonderful world.
The fact is that you really did not comprehend all of this prior to bringing a child into the world. Somehow, you had enough faith in the system that you knew your child would have the opportunity to thrive. You believed that as long as you prepared your child for the world, your child would do well. How did you know this at the time? Because you had enough experience to form these positive and empowering beliefs.
Your child comes into the world in a pure form of innocence perfectly capable of thriving in the world to which it was born. Of course you have your fears and doubts, but above all, you know that things will somehow work out. You have faith in the system and so you bring in your children and form relationships. There is something about these relationships that are also of benefit to you. You remember what it was like to be trusting and innocent yourself.
Your child is inquisitive, just as you were when you were a child. Your child looks at the world with fresh eyes and a clean slate. You have gone through experiences and have adopted a set of beliefs that your child does not yet possess. You have an opportunity to reassess those beliefs. Are they limiting or empowering? As you guide your child through its life, you have an opportunity to take notice of your own limiting beliefs and you may choose not to impart those beliefs on your child. Are your limiting beliefs really necessary to keep you safe. You give pause and think more about which beliefs you will impose on your child.
Your inner child holds onto limiting beliefs in order to feel safe, yet these beliefs really do nothing to protect yourself from unwanted negative emotion. In fact, you now realize that your limiting beliefs simply spark fear whenever they are triggered. And so the universe must show you those limiting beliefs that prevent you from moving forward on your journey of self-discovery. Manifestation events expose limiting beliefs, both in you and in your children.
You set intentions prior to your birth. These intentions are powerful and will always lead you on your path of self-discovery. Everything in your life, all of your relationships, are there to inform that path. They all reflect how you are choosing to define yourself. If you live in fear, assuming that you are unsafe and must protect yourself from negative emotion, you will try to control these relationships. Manifestation events will occur to show you that you are operating in a way that limits your progression. Therefore, it would appear as if the universe is bringing you situations that cause pain. In truth, it is your beliefs that are causing you pain whenever they are triggered. The only way to escape the suffering and discontentment felt by the victim is to face your fears and see that they are not real.
What you fear is that which you must face. Once the fear has been faced in courage, it will become obvious that there was never anything to fear. After all, this is an environment based in love. You are a being of love. Anything you fear is the illusion, because everything is based in love. And so the grand design of the system is formed to allow you to move from fear to love on your own terms. All of your relationships to everything in your reality are there to present a perfect mirror to all of your fears.
You are not separate from anything in your outside reality. It is all you. You are not separate from anything in your inner reality. Your Source is you. Your inner self is you. Your inner child is you. All of your thoughts, fears, beliefs are there to reflect how you think about yourself.
If you perceive yourself to be completely separated from everything in your outer reality, you will face many manifestation events designed to bring you out of this illusion. You will receive many thoughts of fear, which are the perfect reflection of how limited you perceive yourself to be. You will consider yourself to be hopeless and sink into a state of depression. This will allow you to birth very strong desires to bring yourself out of the illusion. Once you decide that you can no longer live as the victim, you will surrender and new thoughts and inspiring ideas will be made available to you. This often takes many, many lifetimes.
Once you have decided that you have lived enough lifetimes in suffering, all of those desires will culminate to a life that provides the opportunity for you to finally come out of the illusion. You have all found that opportunity in this lifetime and you are ready for a new approach to life. This is the approach of love and acceptance, where you come to terms with what it means to be the creator of your reality.
To be the creator of your reality, you must begin the process of integration. Integration is the act of seeing all parts of you and your outer reality as the whole of you. In fear, you separate yourself from your inner and outer realities. In love, you integrate every aspect of your outer and inner realities into one unified whole. It is the whole of you. You integrate all of you through absolute, unconditional acceptance. This is what love is.
When you look at your child, the relationship is you. If the relationship is one of unconditional love and acceptance you have integrated it. It reflects back your entirety of beliefs. Fear no longer exists in this relationship. You have integrated it into the whole of your being, knowing that there is nothing to fear. All you do is express unconditional acceptance. Your relationship with your child is the final step in the integration process, since this relationship has the greatest meaning and holds the most fear.
If you perceive that you are a victim in the slightest degree, you will not be able to integrate this final relationship. You will always exert some form of control, because you still perceive that somehow something wrong could happen to your child.
If you perceive yourself as a victim in the slightest degree, you will not be able to fully integrate your inner child, because you still believe that somehow something bad could happen to you.
Now, we are not saying that you must come to 100% full integration with every aspect of your being, because that is an eternal process. What we are saying is that for the first time in your mortal existence, you have reached an inflection point. You are at the line that separates love and fear. You are crossing over from the illusion into the truth. The proof of this amazing achievement is that you can for the first time understand the system of physical reality. You do not feel it fully yet, but your beliefs are such that you are able to conceptualize the true meaning of unconditional love; i.e. Integration.
You have climbed to the top of the mountain through many, many lifetimes of suffering under the illusion that the mountaintop was unobtainable. And now you are finally here. You can see the other side. You have come out of lifetimes of fear as a physical being and can view the valley of love that exists below. You have explored the shadow and the fear for long enough, both in this lifetime and all others. All of your human desires based in lack caused you to push past enough fear to effort and struggle your way through the contrast that led to expansive experiences. This is what you were promised. You have arrived.
You’ve experienced enough separation. Now it is time to integrate. The separation experience is painful, because it is based in fear and the illusion seems so real. Now the illusion does not seem as real and the fear is becoming recognizable for what it truly is. You have more faith, which gives you more courage to push past irrational fear. Your intellect will allow you to do this. Your understanding of who you truly are and how this system works makes it so much easier. Your emotional sensitivity allows you to know exactly when you are in alignment with the truth or out of alignment believing in the illusion. So as you start to walk down the mountain, it will become a truly joyous experience.
With each step down the mountain, you begin the process of integration. You first become more aware of your thoughts, rather than waiting for manifestation events to pop up. You realize when you are in or out of alignment at the thought stage. If you receive a thought of fear (something is wrong or bad), you notice it and correct your vibration by choosing a higher perspective or processing a limiting belief. With each step, you gain clarity and the integration process becomes easier and easier.
You never have to plan your route down the mountain. That would be a form of control and you realize this now. All you ever have to do is find your alignment and receive inspiration. Then you take a single step. Your inner self knows the perfect path down the mountain and into the valley of full integration. You do not want to run down this mountain. You very much want to relish the vistas and delight your way, step by step, on the most wonderful part of your journey. Every step on this journey can be made in effortless joy, if you allow it.
How do you make your way down the mountain in joy? You release control as much as you can and you replace it with acceptance. You do this with every aspect of your inner and outer realities. You let your children be. You accept your inner child. You express love. And above all, you maintain the mental image of yourself as the creator who needs nothing and is here to give divinely and freely express your limitless ability to love. This is your inspired path of acceptance!
