Sedona Spiritual Guidance with Curt Medicine Eagle

  In most humans, this tangible experience of feeling safe, loved, nurtured, and supported fades in early childhood. As we enter life experience as humans, through the development of language and socialization, we acquire a sense of self that is separate from the Spirit Kingdom and Creator. We realize through a series of experiences and crises, big and small, that this world isn’t so nice. And just like that, the experience and memory of that nurturing, warm, and safe place fade. Our desire for that sweet sense of belonging continues, however. Tragically, we search for this sense of belonging in all the wrong places. When we do have a fleeting glimpse of where we come from or who we are, someone says, “Get a grip, dude! Get real, sweetheart!”

  Still seeking some experience of that forgotten, once tangible security blanket, we begin to inflate our sense of well-being with something that appears tangible and safe. We invest our good intentions in being a good person, getting a quality education, a good job, a good income, a nice home, beautiful children, an awesome companion, a comfortable investment portfolio, a healthy lifestyle—the list goes on and on. The next thing you know, your good job has been outsourced, the stock market crashes, your investment portfolio is no longer comfortable, your spouse asks for a divorce, your children have lost faith in you and their future, and last but not least, you have a serious auto accident on the way to sign up for unemployment. You have tragically replaced your sense of BELONGING with an inflated idea of self through a false sense of security in relation to what you perceive as YOUR BELONGINGS.

  This false sense of security, based on what we perceive as our possessions, is anchored in our awareness by the thoughts or voice in our head. By the time we reach adolescence, we have become shackled by this voice in our head. Running ceaselessly, this overly critical and judgmental churn rants, “Do this, don’t do that, am I good enough, am I pretty enough, how am I going to live up to my parents’ expectations…” Bla, bla, bla. By early adulthood, that voice in our head has become a million other voices. Not only that, we actually believe we ARE that voice in our head. Our programmed dependence on the environment consumes us. We become molecular robots submerged in a program fueled by a narcissistic image of who we are based on other people’s opinions, how much we can consume, and the physical value of what we imagine we possess. We have bought and paid for a BIG LIE. We have successfully become a product of the environment.

  Let’s all celebrate this renewed sense of belonging together. Breathing. Relaxing. Feeling warmth. Letting go. Trusting. Feeling safe. Feeling loved. Feeling nurtured. Feeling supported. AAAAAAAAAAAH! Home at last...
