SELF-DEVELOPMENT: THE EPIDEMIC BRAINWASHING & THE BODY

The larger issue with spiritual development is that mostly everybody on their “path” sounds the same. Believing in everything without knowing anything. Alarm bells ringing. ​

​When everybody sounds the same, you know it’s not actually authentic intelligence coming through at this point that has emerged from deep self-enquiry and discovery. 

Instead, it’s information that has been taken-in externally, assumed to be true, and repeated word for word by large groups of people - In an attempt to assume knowingness. In an attempt to clutch onto something that promises security. 

This is how a religion functions, & right now we have the trendy insta-religion of self-development, and it’s deadly. 

This religion tricks you into assuming knowledge without ever actually embodying it or arriving home...so you can continue to be sold spiritual candy-floss; continuing to chase the chicken of enlightenment, as your being becomes more and more confused and compromised. 

If you were to sit down and question all of you current spiritual/life beliefs you adhere to, you may come to realize that not only do you not understand them, but you have never actually experienced practical PROOF of their existence - So you live your life based on adhering to beliefs that you in no way KNOW to be real.

Blind faith - the master-key of any decent indoctrination system. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, It’s great that you know all these words and beliefs you assume to be true, but unless you have established concrete evidence of it being a real tangible thing based on YOUR direct embodied experience of it, you will always be living a lie - Totally un-clarified & seconds away from drowning in a tsunami of your own bullshit at any point. 

I know how it feels to live like that, and it’s exhausting - Always depending on another to feed you, to keep you above-board. For me it almost had me take my own life...because It wasn’t even mine anymore, I had given so much of it away to brainwashing. 

You will NEVER be able to fully embody anything knowing that underneath your commitment to it, is a lack of surety and trust in it. 

Living a life directed by gullible assumption, hoping it to be true, will never grant you the internal certainty needed to be here in alignment, because deep down underneath all surface commitment, you know you are being full of shit. And it is VERY difficult to live in alignment with self when you are functioning from this wishy-washy place of choosing to bury your head in the sand. To not see. 

The Practical:

The body is your ticket to knowing. And thankfully the body is very simple once you are willing to be courageous enough to get back into it, leaving all your current belief systems at the door. To be fully open to what it begins to share with you. The body will clarify everything for you, if you allow it. 

Your role is to feel, and to listen, deeper than you have ever done before...and then to FOLLOW. That’s most peoples difficulty - To let something more intelligent than them take the drivers seat. 

The practical task is you being with the body and bringing to it what it’s asking you for...the moment you figure out how to deliver it correctly, it opens, softens, unravels & heals in that place, and shares more information with you, as a gift. 

You repeat the process. Over and over. For hours, days, weeks, months, years. You continue to deepen and pull more cellular intelligence of YOU to the surface. This is where you truest purpose lives. Not in a 15 minute TED Talk. 

Nowhere in your deepening process will you be told to watch Oprah. Nor will you be instructed to read the Power Of Now. You won’t even be told to read another judgemental micro-aggressive, “thinks he knows it all” Chris Bale post. 

The skill of deep-listening to self is what is required of you to develop in a way that will force you to go way beyond your current level of patience and comfort. You will be able to hide from and avoid nothing. 

When you come back into the body there is no longer anywhere to run, you will be forced to come face to face with all of your deepest fears, traumas, insecurities, and you will be invited to die to all of them. Over and over again. You will be given no other choice than to let go of the identity you have worked so hard to build. 

With enough consistent, patient and loving dedication, you will arrive home - to an inner silence. To a powerfully deep soft resting. To a universal knowing, drenched in a collective truth. 

There will be no more external questions, not because you think you know it all, but because you have already met the answer - You. 

This is where our true authenticity and knowingness emerges from. 

Be your own religion. You don’t even have a choice not to be. You only think you do. 

Much love to your greatest good,
Chris
