Sovereignty
noun, plural sovereignties.
1.the quality or state of being sovereign, or of having supreme power or authority.
We all have the same desire.
Not wealth or prestige, beauty, marrying well, attention or perfection, as so many might think.
Our desire, above all else, is sovereignty—to rule our lives as we see fit.
To have choices placed back into our own hands, to be allowed to flow in the natural state we were born into, and not be beholden to another.
Until that sovereignty is granted, we will persist.
The abuse and suppression of not being granted the choice to rule our lives as we see fit runs rampant through shame wounding, non-acceptance and control over the selves of our inner and outer kingdoms, from both internal and external sources. We are led to believe money and prestige will give us bliss. Only beauty, attention, and perfection will lead us to our happily ever after. It appears any act of being our true selves is considered rebellious and frowned upon.
Yet the desire for sovereignty continues to persist within us.
We spend years abusing and suppressing this part of our being out of fear of thoughts like, “What if I am not accepted for who I truly am?” or “What if I won’t gain wealth by following my dream?” This results in us not being fully honest and open with ourselves, not telling the full story and resisting reconciliation within, not freely giving our inner selves back the choice to rule our lives as we see fit.
But still, the inner voice persists. Calling, nudging, kicking and screaming for sovereignty.
So, we give in and accept the knowing we must listen and follow the desire of our true self. We acknowledge we must be heard and accept the desire to rule our own lives as we see fit. We go through all the motions, talk the talk, and yet, find we still aren’t living.
We remain living in compromise, not fully unleashing our power by clinging to the shame we (and the outside world) wounded ourselves with. Not fully surrendering to this inner voice begging to lead the way. Still giving in to the impulse to short change ourselves.
Nevertheless, this voice, refusing to be silenced, persists.
Until the day, where no alternate facts or excuses can be found. All options and resources have been tapped out. The day when, once again, at a crossroads in life, bliss has been hijacked. The day when, out of exasperation, the inner self is finally asked, “What do you want?”
It is then, through one’s own power, of not being told, but instead freely granting the inner self sovereignty to rule as sees fit, comes a solution on its own where the knowing stops and true living starts.
The full power of the self is unleashed with no need for compromise. The previous shaming act of suppression is undone. Transactional dealings no longer transpire within us, as not only the acceptance of the inner voice for who he/she is occurs, but also the appreciation of it as well.
The final step to full healing is taken. The step that no longer harnesses, controls, and orders this powerful resource of the inner voice around but, sees the power and wisdom of it as an authority, leader and guide for the life dreamed about. The step allowing this inner guide full authority to lead, without restriction, always returning to the voice to ask “What do you want?”
It is this ability to say “I trust you.” This gives the inner self sovereignty to rule as he/she sees fit, to flow in one’s natural state and not be beholden to another.
It is this reconciliation and honoring of the inner voice, this letting him/her drive the bus, that unlocks full healing, both in one’s inner kingdom and the outside world.
It is this changing your mind, handing the reins back to the inner voice, granting sovereignty back to self and others for healing, while saying…
Thank you for persisting.
We all have the same desire—to rule our lives as we see fit.
We all desire sovereignty.
