“Inner authority is at its best when cultural, traditional and generational false beliefs no longer hold any influence and a direct path to divine influence is established.” Kari Vest England,

As a child, I would run free in the woods, playing cowboys and pirates, creating dreams and private worlds via stream of consciousness and imagination.
I loved that time of just living naturally, uninhibited - fully aligned with divine creation.
Life happened, my parents taught me what was important to them, my church leaders taught me what was important to them, my teachers taught me what was important to them - and I absorbed it all and set a little bit of myself aside when what they said was not how I saw the world.
I loved to learn, and I loved to please, and I loved to be at the top of my class. So I learned it all SOO well. So well, that I thought my path to God was through my leaders, my parents, and anyone else who said, “This is how you do it.” And I acquiesced. I did not question.
Until I did.
Until that day when I realized a lot of what I had been taught was someone’s opinion and not my truth.
Until the day that I realized that it was my job to know what was best for me.
Until the day that I faced the horrifying realization that I had very little connection to my own inner authority - and thus had no REAL connection to GOD.
This was the day that I began to sort through the history of my life and ask myself what do I really believe?
What does it look like when I live in Integrity? Authenticity? Authority?
What does it look like to live without others' opinions, distortions, or projections?
What does it look like to connect to the Divine through my own powerful use of Choice?
I think - Maybe it looks like a child playing in the woods, fully present to the world they are creating, unfettered by concerns, and deeply connected to the Divine through inner knowing and imagination.
What are your thoughts?
