Currently our default perception  of ourselves comes through the unconscious filter of &lsquo;separate from&rsquo;; separate  from the earth, separate from spirit, separate from others etc. While we may  consciously understand that this is not the case many of our unconscious  perceptions of ourselves still remain firmly rooted in this incorrect belief.  Many other misperceptions are also directly connected with it; disempowerment,  an inability to love and appreciate ourselves and a disconnection from the  consequences of our lack of responsible stewardship of our planet, to name but  a few.<\/p>\r\n<p>In today&rsquo;s energy flow  our consciousness is expanding rapidly and these old misperceptions are  beginning to loosen up and will simply dissolve if we are willing to allow them  the space to do so. This seems like a simple &lsquo;no brainer&rsquo; of a choice until we  come up against the resistance created by our old belief system. Emotions like  anger, fear, guilt, blame and lack of self-worth lie at the back of this  resistance and can present a very persuasive argument for keeping the status  quo in place, unless we can see them for the misperceptions that they are.<\/p>\r\n<p>To see past the  misperceptions we need to look from the perspective of ourselves as soul rather  than just personality. You as soul had a particular purpose for incarnating and  carefully set up the circumstances and vibrational patterning that would give  you the best opportunity to fulfil this purpose. This included making the  necessary agreements with those souls with whom you now share your life  experience. Of course few of us remember this when we are actually living out  the chosen life experience which may and may not be perceived by the  personality as comfortable or desirable. Seen from a perspective of &lsquo;separate  from&rsquo; it can be very easy to see ourselves as a victim of circumstance and forget  that we as soul have intention and purpose for each and every physical  experience. Recognition and acceptance of this simple fact go a long way to  helping us change our perception of past events and situations.<\/p>\r\n<p>So next time you come up  against something old and difficult inside yourself try looking at the  situation through the eyes of your soul to see what the purpose of the experience  was. As soon as you recognise that you have not failed or got it wrong or were  not a victim it is much easier to let go and move on.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">To keep pace with the current speed of change taking place within us it is important that we develop the habit of paying attention to what comes into our awareness, so that we can make <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/index.php\/personal-spiritual-growth\/changing-way-perceive-ourselves\/\" title=\"Changing The Way We Perceive Ourselves\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[414],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1888","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-personal-spiritual-growth","8":"wpautop"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.8 -
