52 Weeks of InfiniteFulfillment: Week 26-Knowing YourSelf Is Key

March 23rd, 2010 by Kathleen

‘You are not all included between your hat and your boots’….. Walt Whitman

We are half-way through ’52 Weeks of InfiniteFulfillment’.  With a commitment to each person exploring oneSelf and making individual choices that are aligned to our quintessential selves, at this juncture, I pause to re-presence a few things and to re-iterate a standing invitation.

When I started writing this series, I wanted to introduce the elements inherent in the design of human being through the QuintessentialYou Blueprint.  I wanted to share these Blueprint elements which give each of us access to and opportunity for appreciation of ourSelf and how we are each uniquely designed for our individual best life.  I trust I have done that – Yes?

I wanted to introduce the idea of living a weekly inquiry with the intention of exploring and discovering the Self.  I continue discovering  – How’s it going for  you?

I hoped that many of you would take up the standing invitation to discover the core of your own Blueprint through the revelation of EssenceExpression…. and that you would share this invitation with your circle.  To those of you have not yet accepted – Are you still thinking about it?

I hoped that QuintessentialYou’s Community Conversation would grow and that you would participate by adding your own thoughts and comments under each of the weekly posts that touched you or had you question and wonder.  What do you have to say?

I am passionate about this approach and the discoveries it affords myself and others engaged in the process.  Knowing oneSelf and the impact of this intimacy on living and consciously experiencing life cannot be overstated.  It is luxury, sophistication, peacefulness.  It is distinctive ease.

So, as we set to enter the second half of this InfiniteFulfillment journey, I invite you to explore the QuintessentialYou site and share it and to accept the invitation of discovering the EssenceExpression that is yours and yours alone.  Reveal the core of  what makes you You.  Give language to what you experience to articulate the elegant magnetism of you and only you.  And, if you have already named your EssenceExpression, consider the possibility and the potential of expanding your Blueprint to see and capture all that is the quintessence of You.

In person, by telephone, or with a group of your nearest and dearest, give yourSelf the gift of thoughtfully and consciously putting your Blueprint to work for the all that is yours to accomplish as the life you imagine and the experience you desire.

The QuintessentialYou CONCEIVE Triangle

This week’s question to live – our living question with respect to InfiniteFulfillment of QuintessentialYou is focused on our reply to moments of daily existence:

Am I automatic reaction or conscious response?

52 Weeks of InfiniteFulfillment: Week 25-Greatest Abundance Deepest Lack

March 17th, 2010 by Kathleen

‘The human form is only visible in Drift II from particular viewpoints, emphasizing the role of the viewer as an active participant in determining what is actually seen.’ …from the information tablet for Antony Gormley’s Drift II-2007 Installation in the Vancouver Art Gallery’s Current Exhibition: ‘Visceral Bodies’

Drift II, Antony Gormley

In visiting this exhibition a few days ago, the above quote stayed with me in reference to much more than the sculpture about which it was written.  It stopped me in my meandering and had me take notice and acknowledge again the expression of consciousness that is EveryBody and EveryThing.  It had me remember that life itself – every life – includes all that there is expressed uniquely by each one.  So why then, in all this abundance do humans see lack?  Whether it is a missing of sustenance or shelter, learning or objects, love or benefits, how does our participation determine the lack that we see, in whatever degree we witness it?  Why do we not perceive abundance always?  Would moving slightly change the view?  Would a tiny shift in participation alter what is seen?  Is abundance inherent right there in the lack we perceive?  Is it waiting patiently for us to move just enough to alter our vantage point?  Is it possible that what we see as our deepest individual lack inherently includes our greatest individual abundance?  Is one or the other visible simply by the viewpoint we take?

This week’s living question – our question to live is integral to the revelation of each person’s QuintesssentialYou Blueprint and realization of InfiniteFulfilllment:

Where is my viewpoint of lack hiding my view of abundance?

52 Weeks of InfiniteFulfillment: Week 24-Ego Is Necessary

March 11th, 2010 by Kathleen

‘The object of all life is development.  Everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.  …Every person naturally wants to become all that he is capable of becoming; this desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature.’….. Wallace D. Wattles, 1910

I have made my point many times over the weeks of writing this blog:  We are essence and we are expression – body, mind, and soul.  These form us, our relationships and our circumstances.  Together, they are the source  of what we have, what we do, and who we be.  Planted in Desire, we are creators of destiny, the vehicles through which thought and intention take root and the containers in which these same thoughts and intentions are held for flourishing.  That old adage ‘we create our destiny’  is true… and it includes a twist on what we’ve heard spoken and seen written so many times before.

To ‘create our destiny’, ego is necessary.

I am NOT referring here to ego as the force that runs the personality or drives our plotting and planning.

I am referring to ego that is the enduring and conscious element that knows experience and is capable of holding that experience and communicating it in his own way.

This ego I am speaking of does NOT look ‘out’ to research trends, analyze strategy or figure out plans and plots.

This ego I am speaking of deliberately listens ‘in’ to hear ideas, source vision, give thought and receive action.

This is the distinction and the permanent difference between the ego that pushes and pulls for what we WANT and the ego that creates and holds what we DESIRE.

On that note, here is our living question – our InfiniteFulfillment question to live for this week:

Which is running me, the ego of Want or the ego of Desire?
