HOW TO BE AND REMAIN IN ALIGNMENT WITH OURSELVES?

We have all already experienced those times when we partake in activities we love, or when we talk with people on matters we are passionate about. All these moments when we are authentic, when we are ourselves, without question. Those times when we let go as we dance, as we play music, when we are reading a book we enjoy, when we are watching a documentary we are really into, when we expand our consciousness. In those moments, we loose track of time, we just feel good, in the present moment. We experience joy, excitement, we are "natural", i.e. we are just "who we are" with no "filter". The mind does not get involved, it no longer calculates, negative emotions do not exist in those moments, we remain light-hearted and enthusiastic.

Well, this is what it means to be aligned with ourselves. When I am who I am and do what makes me happy, I am aligned with myself, I am aligned with my higher consciousness, my higher self, guiding me through the feeling of "joy" and enthusiasm.

If we could measure up the vibrational rate of our "soul", we would get the equivalent of the vibration of "joy" in our physical world. Hence why all spiritual teachings agree on saying that the most important thing is to be "happy". Unfortunately, our society, in which a great many of our values have been inverted, attempts to have us believe happiness is something that can be obtained "externally" (via a status, money, a spouse/husband, many "partners", a new Rolex, brands, artificial foods, etc.). Even if some of these things can be a parts of our lives, they can not in themselves bring us inner peace and "alignment with ourselves". Alignment with ourselves is an ongoing initiative, a constant work, and most of all an inner journey. It represents a will to be aligned with who we truly are, with what our higher consciousness would do here, now, at this very moment - and not our mind which is polluted by so many parasites and illusions, engraved in our subconscious since our birth, influenced by trends, society, education, religions, dogmas, beliefs, family and friends. We are soon to be 7 billion individuals on this planet, reason why I insist that being aligned with ourselves truly is "work of every day". Because throughout our entire life, external elements will intervene on a daily basis and disrupt this alignment. And we are the only ones who can do what is necessary to get back "in place", back in "phase" with our higher consciousness.

We are not physical beings who came here to have spiritual experiences, but on the contrary, spiritual beings who came here to have physical experiences. Like so, our role and our objective is to make sure our vehicle (physical body) is well "aligned" to our higher consciousness so that they both work together and not one in one direction and the other one wishing to go somewhere else; both being completely disconnected from one another. What happens for many humans is that the physical body navigates alone, disconnected from its guidance (its higher consciousness), and its guidance sometimes can no longer control the vehicle venturing out in places or situations that will make it suffer. The individual, disconnected from his higher self, can no longer hear the advices from the "pilot", and makes mistake after mistake, getting lost, and loosing entirely his path. He then tries to follow the same road as others have, them too disconnected from their pilot, all leading each other right onto the same wall. As amongst the disconnected, the one telling others he might have found the exit to the labyrinth and tries to help them, is often seen as "crazy" or "suspicious". Since the majority of people are not aligned with themselves and most do not even know what this even means, they struggle to even imagine it being possible or that another way of living is also possible. Therefore, they reject what they do not know. The labyrinth in which they have been roaming for so long is somewhat reassuring: at least, they are familiar with it. While everything that stands outside of the labyrinth, even if it is all green and filled with flowers, well, they do not know it, and that is far too scary for a vehicle that has solely learnt to drive on roads that were already marked. Of-track navigating requires a lot of courage, we must leave our comfort zone and this, very few are able to do.

The only way to leave the labyrinth, is to reconnect with our co-pilot. The illusion of separation / of the ego has us believe we are separated from the Whole and we are alone. Many will refuse their entire life to believe there were someone who could have guided them, someone who has always been by their side and who could have helped them making better choices at every moment. This someone is no other than this very part of themselves, residing in the "invisible", aware of the Whole and of the greater plan, of their destiny had they chosen to follow it. But when we come to incarnate over here we are granted what we call "free will", we can very well make that choice to turn the GPS of as well as our connection with our co-pilot. Many experience disconnection so they can later understand nothing but reconnection allows true happiness. Why? As being aligned with ourselves is the only thing that can provide us with the true feeling of joy (not superficial and temporary joy). Why? Because being aligned with ourselves simply is the merging of the vehicle and its pilot, a tightly knit team, strong, and ready to experience the terrestrial adventures it came to encounter. To be aligned with oneself is to truly be our soul incarnated in a physical body; our higher consciousness striving in this Physical World, perfectly merged. There is no more dissociation. There no longer is one going to the wall while the other hopes they will plug their headphones back so they can communicate again.

For instance, right now, as I am writing these lines, there is no dissociation between my higher consciousness and my physical body typing on the keyboard. It is my higher consciousness expressing itself directly in the physical world through my fingers. We are one. I am her terrestrial vehicle. She is me and I am her. We are now inseparable. This was not always the case, there once was a time when I would let my mind or the fear of other's opinion get between us and separate us. We would despise those moments of being torn apart, for the only time we are both feeling good is when merged. Today, we can no longer bear for any external element to disturb our connection and our ties, be it another human, a negative thought, fear or the mind. We have made a deal and whatever happens we know our PRIORITY is always to get aligned and to merge again. We can no longer stand being separated. We have actually noticed that everything goes faster when we are merged together, everything flows, movements are synchronised, and both learn from one another. She learns to live in this physical world through me, and I learn to let go while trusting her entirely. Ever since I have merged with her, my life has changed. I live in a parallel reality where all my needs are met, where she always leads me to the best paths for my end goal. I do not question her choices, for she already knows my entire journey. She only reveals the route little by little, so as not to scare me and also to allow me to enjoy the present moment. Sometimes she willingly let me go through winding roads, only because she knows that once out of the gulch, I will be even better, stronger and an even better performing vehicle. I have understood it, and so I thank her for everything, be it the winding roads or the little pieces of heaven. I have understood that I can entirely and completely rely on her. I could even drive with my eyes closed so long as I could still feel her in me and hear her. When I wake up in the morning I ask her: Where do you want to go today? What do you want to do? What do you want me to say, and to whom? And off I go for another day in tandem.

But this is not it! It turns out our pilot is also connected with all the other pilots of the other vehicles around us, even if we do not see them communicate. Sometimes they'll agree so that two vehicles meet on the same road. They meticulously prepare "plans" so that we can be happy and evolve, but are often desperate as we do not let them. We simply take another direction than that of our deep joy and authenticity, following for instance, once again, somebody else's, a movement's, a group's, a society's road. We then become jealous of those who are happy, and curse the world, and others, and we convince ourselves we are "unlucky". But it is solely that we have chosen to drive alone, sometimes to proud to accept moving out of our beliefs, lowering the wall we built around us, and go back into our hearts. Why? Because the phone is in the heart. The pilot can only speak to the vehicle through its heart.

This is why society has done everything to disconnect us from our hearts, bombarding us with violence, fears, shabby and bloody movies and series, always based on the same principle: the ego, violence, sex without conscience, power, domination. Everything that ties in to light-heartedness, to beauty and to innocence is willingly ridiculed. Spirituality is dismissed, all those who say out loud their truth (and who are aligned with themselves) are pointed at and considered crazy. We live in an insipid world where the "norm" is non-alignment with the higher consciousness. Where the norm is all those vehicles wandering and doing whatever they want, even if this means causing accidents everywhere they go, completely disconnected from their control station. All these accidents and multiple crashes create a huge chaos, and even more fear and confusion (which is what they want). For a vehicle without guidance is a vehicle that is easy to manipulate - we can make it stop at any fast-food restaurant to poison it, make it go and watch anything on the movies so as to manipulate its mind and install programming for its future driving and have it get even more lost, we can make it hurt other people and create conflicts. In those moments, all these vehicles are not in love nor in joy, therefore they are completely cut of from their pilot who could put them back on the right track.

Like so, sometimes, a great shock will be needed for the vehicle and its pilot to reconnect: a serious illness, an accident, a break up, the loss of a dear one... The individual, feeling "vulnerable" again, and therefore being in its heart, can suddenly hear again the guidance and begins to live in a whole other way, more "aligned with themselves". It is the way some people need to experience dark abysses so as to find that desire to want to find brighter paths. And it is the reason why it is not our job to prevent it, especially if the person does not want our help.

How to be aligned with ourselves and remain so?

You might have guessed it, being aligned with ourselves is done through joy. Everyday, we must reconnect to joy, to what brings us enthusiasm, what makes us vibrate. Like so, if I do something that brings me joy, I know this is exactly what my soul wanted to do, I can be sure of that (even if this is just about buying a new dress, yes! There is no such thing as too small of a joy).

But this is not it, being aligned with ourselves requires us to let go of other's opinion, to learn to no longer live through their projections, and to publicly come out as who we are. A vehicle connected to its pilot must no longer be afraid to take on roads that were never travelled, no longer be afraid to be criticised because it has a different car or is taking a different road. Sometimes, on our path, we may encounter another vehicle that will tell us that what we do is rubbish, will criticise us, will hurt us. For instance, I am joyful, drawing, I am feeling great, I sing, I am very happy, and then a relative of mine walks into my room and makes an unpleasant comment. They tell me I should better get back down to earth because I am getting into bad ways. There, I suddenly have a stomach ache, heartache (solar plexus), I feel unwell, I lost my alignment. Why? Because I let that person, for a split second, become the pilot of my vehicle. I dismissed the real pilot and what it knows of me and where we go together, for a human pilot, disconnected from its own pilot (indeed, for a human connected to its higher consciousness would never harm another one willingly, as they would necessarily be able of empathy). What happened? I cut of the cord that was connecting me to the Source (to my higher consciousness which is in turn connected to the Source), and I looked at myself through the limited perspective of a disconnected human. Therefore, I feel "emptied", I have no more energy, it is because I let them cut of my tie with the Source. I stopped seeing myself through the eyes of the Source, which validates what I am doing when my heart is filled with joy.

At all time, my job is therefore to maintain my connection with the Source, to maintain my alignment, following joy, regardless of the criticisms, opinions, and adversities. Of course, I will never be able to be so 100%, 24/7 and I am aware of it, but I will always strive to find my alignment back as a priority, as soon as I loose it (because of someone, of a certain fear, of my mind, etc.). Because I understood that I can only be happy and efficient if I work in tandem with my higher self. Like so, I understood I should never again let anyone or anything take me away from who I am, from my deep inner values, from my feelings and my intuitions, from my passions and from my dreams. When I will be aligned, I will notice others will call this "self-confidence". Many think that self-confidence is something we can acquire through a certain "technique". But "technique" rhymes with mind. So no, self-confidence is just having the courage to be aligned with ourselves. And when we are aligned with ourselves , we automatically release a powerful energy others can sense and immediately assimilate it with "self-confidence". It is because they perceive, without being aware of it, the tandem working through the individual. In other words, this individual is its own best friend, and not its own worst enemy like many people are when self-destructing on a daily basis, all so that they can "ft the mould" and for fear of being who they are.

Being aligned with ourselves demands a lot of courage, as it requires to learn to listen to ourselves above all, and to preserve our "vibration" above all else. This implies to no longer force ourselves to hang out with people we actually do not want to see, to no longer do things we do not really want to do just to "please others", to no longer hide our truth, no longer remain silent on the things that matter to us. If this was something easy, then many would be aligned.

But, one thing is for sure, once we have had a taste for the alignment, it is impossible to accept no longer being so. We can no longer stand being dissociated from our higher consciousness and we can perceive when it happens immediately. Our vibration spirals down and we loose our feeling of joy. But understanding this mechanism is the key to self-mastery, and from now on we are the masters of our vehicles and thus of our lives. Never again will we let anyone else take on the steering wheel, for we have understood that nobody else can pilot our vehicle better than the pilot who created it !
