Growth and Identity

"I'm gonna go with my Guidance on this, because it still feels like the right thing to do. If there's one most important lesson right now in my life, it's trust my Guidance. It's the only reason I ended up, for example, standing in front of you in a hallway to talk to you. I've posted my experiences on Gaia without fearing how people will interpret them, and that has enabled my absolute honesty. Appropriate honesty yields flow and progress.

I have clear choices in how and when I manifest what I'm doing. Part of my job in managing my personal growth is steering away from presenting myself as a target, to someone who has nothing better to do than perpetuate their own darkness. I've been fear-less and honest at Gaia because it would be difficult for anyone to second-guess my experiences by attributing them to personality and identity.

On the Web, people often over-identify themselves or hide their motives and identities for unpleasant purposes. And, because I can walk into east LA at 3 AM in the morning, wearing a pink, button-down Oxford cloth shirt and matching pink, Oxford cloth, Converse hi-tops doesn't mean I'm gonna opt to do it a second time. That's gives away my power and becomes unmanageable.

Anything that gets put on the Internet about me is, ultimately, beyond my influence. It's easily demonstrable that someone surfing or searching the Web could link the interior, Gaian Mike to the conservative, business Mike  -  before I'm ready to relate what I've experienced.

My favorite co-worker, for example, knows something about me, but only the appropriate, relevant bits while the business relationship matures. She doesn't know that I'm precognitive, but just knows that I do good business and trust my instincts. But, an interesting aside about her; I was discussing a prospective co-worker by phone with her last night. She told me she does the same thing I do when considering someone - she intuits who they are before she meets them and will act on it.

My (eventual ex-) partner knows something about my abilities. But discussing with her how I get where I'm going is one of the significant reasons why we often disagreed. She prefers logical control in many instances. I prefer guiding the situation in the direction I'd like, while remaining open and flexible to anything new that occurs. Of course, those were polarities which have been especially attractive between us. We now get to grow where we need to."

If you got this far, please let me turn you on to something I'm reminded about by a fabulous man name 'o Richard McMann, paraphrasing, "You're not your experiences, you are your intrepretation of them." See Nic Askew's Monday9AM.tv if you love a good story, and look at the short flick, "a glimpse of reality."
