I saw a meme in my feed today. It wasn’t unlike something I’d post. It has a tone to it, pointed and provocative. Like me, the author was attempting to stir the pot, in order to get people to realize their perspectives are intentionally kept small, by themselves. It said something to the effect of, 

“Sovereignty is not given, it’s taken. (Your) shit will be dismantled. The matrix doesn’t want you to wake up, because then you’d be uncontrollable. This is the rise of the ungovernable. You must be a warrior and burn things to ashes. Stand in your power.”

The point to my post today is that, when you say something like this, it’s quite difficult to encapsulate it as well as you might intend. There’s a whole lot of context missing here, about spiritual sovereignty, and without it, this statement could be wildly misconstrued. Continue »

As I’m in the midst of the transition into a sovereign state, I now understand the process. Sovereignty is not taken, but the author is correct, in a sense, that shit does get dismantled. It’s not a process of taking anything or obtaining anything or achieving anything, unless you call the expansion of your awareness an achievement.

It’s not something that happens through the use of will. You don’t say one morning, after a lot of coffee, “By damn I’m going to expand my awareness 50% today come hell or high-water.” This is not a job for the ego. It’s actually a job of rising up and out of, or disempowering your ego, but that only happens through the release of the ego’s beliefs and binding behaviors.

So yes, shit gets ripped down. Even the next bit is true. What most humans still call “reality” is nothing more than the system of “life” that those in control created. They do not want you to wake up, correct, because to know yourself as God/Source, to become spiritually sovereign, to return … no … to merge your natural, higher state of existence, with your human experience, you indeed become untouchable. That is a very complex thing to explain. 

However… making statements like “the rise of the ungovernable” and using terms like “warrior” and “burn to ash” bring a sense of resistance and fight to an otherwise illuminating opportunity, one that’s actually based in love, not fear. Anyone still vehemently locked into a dualistic framework, is naturally going to run this rhetoric through one of those filters.

Spiritual sovereignty is the experience of having shed the ego’s cloak. It isn’t technically a return to your natural state, as you never left it, or lost it, but it feels that way when you’ve been on such a long journey of purposeful and intentional forgetting. That’s what 3D is for, it’s literally a playground of forgetting, where a soul can lay out an orchestrated experience, from birth to death, every detail pre-arranged with many others, without remembering that they are actually just a spark of God/Source, playing in the playground. The forgetting IS the key to having an authentic experience.

Sovereignty is not often a part of a soul’s life plan. Awakening fully within the 3D human experience has almost never been an apart of our life plans. That is an enormous achievement that can take lifetimes of preparation and work. We’re in a period of history, however, where numerous souls do have that within their lifeplans. No need to pursue it, or fight for it, or take it back. It simply unfolds. It’s the process of remembering your true nature and then releasing everything that prevents you from merging that awareness with your human experience.

Memes like the one I saw, aren’t entirely wrong – they’re just mostly wrong ::ha:: But this one in particular implied that there’s a kind of fight to be had on your part, a resistance against some external force limiting your freedoms – a war cry that both sides of the political spectrum spew in all directions. Dualistic frameworks like that, were designed to trap you. That part is correct. The matrix builders knew what they were doing. But spiritual sovereignty is not an escape from the matrix, or anything you perceive outside yourself. You’re not in a matrix. You’re not controlled by a matrix. You simply believe it exists, and it is THAT belief, whether conscious or not, that is the binder that becomes your prison. Shed that belief, and you take a step closer to spiritual sovereignty … a grand step.

I have been moving deeply into this experience over the last number of weeks. Every moment it deepens, I feel less and less compelled to answer to the illusions that others feel compelled to share. I don’t even want to talk about illusion in any form. I’m content to be entirely within my new experience, free of beliefs, bound by nothing. No resistance was required. No fight was required. Nothing was obtained or achieved. I simply let go of the beliefs that limited my awareness … and under it all, I began to find myself, and remember who I am. 

This is the freedom and power we all seek, and by that I mean, to be free of the belief, that illusion is real. You are truly free and finally feel a sense of power when you no longer give illusion the power that is actually yours to spend. I once referred to that as spiritual currency. When you spend your power, investing in illusionary beliefs, you are:

1. No longer free, and
2. Have bound yourself to the limits of that belief, and
3. Then feel powerless, and dependent on that belief to defend you.

In truth, you need no defense. The sense that you do, is the result of spending your power, investing in illusion (a belief) that can be nothing but limiting in terms of your awareness. In a sense, it’s like dividing off a part of yourself, and binding it to the will of something else. It’s now cut off from its source, the Source, where nothing is limited nor vulnerable.

To stand in your power, is not a statement of resistance, or a projection of strength (rooted in fear). To stand in your power requires the relinquishing of the belief that there’s something to fight, that there’s something to recoup, reacquire. It was never lost. You were never without it … even now, you possess it, but you will never know it until you stop looking outside yourself and judging, that what you see requires fighting and fixing. As it has been said, you are only at war with yourself when you do that. No, to stand in your power means to stop spending that spiritual currency on beliefs that limit and cloud your true nature. That is what sovereignty is. Many will speak of it now, but most won’t speak from the experience of it.
