Allow yourself to choose higher. Allow yourself to even conceive of something higher, right?


Like you're going to have to go outside the lines here and it's going to make you uncomfortable because this is when we start to consider possibilities that are beyond our paradigm, that are beyond our current reach, beyond our current pocketbook, beyond our current circumstances.


And it's like, right away you're going to meet your own resistance that says, "Uh-uh-uh, don't start thinking you can step outside of this paradigm of struggle and lack and scarcity because that's not possible for you."


But you're going to have to fight that. Fight that resistance and face it and love it, right? Don't like actually fight it. Fight it by facing it and saying thank you, but this is incorrect. This belief is no longer needed. I no longer need this protection.


I can choose higher. I can choose myself. I can conceive of a new decision that honors my energy, that honors my nervous system, that honors my body, that allows me to sleep at night, that allows my system to regulate, that feels like relief, that offers me a little bit of expansion.


So we want to choose something that we can get our energy behind, but also something that's big enough to scare us, that puts us in the unknown. So you have to choose higher and you have to choose yourself and this is so hard because as beings that have endured ancestral trauma, we were taught not to choose ourselves, right?


This has been like programmed into our DNA, into our cellular memory that it is dangerous if we choose ourselves. It is dangerous to even conceive of something higher, a new possibility. It is dangerous to think that the future is not going to be a replica of the past.


So we just have to catch this thinking and this state of being that we're in when we're stressed out and we're feeling trapped and we feel like we're stuck between a rock and a hard place and we have to make a decision and we're like sitting here, you know, going between survival decisions. We have to allow ourselves to believe that a new decision is possible.


Choosing ourself means that things can be different. Even if it's a new version of something that we know, it doesn't have to pan out the same way, right? That we can be supported by the universe, by Source energy, by our higher selves, by the quantum field when we assume a higher frequency. But that's not going to be given to us.


We're never going to get out of this struggle because the circumstances suddenly open up for us because we're the ones that are generating them, even if it's unconscious. So we need to shift ourselves first. We have to shift ourselves from the inside first and then the circumstances match us.


And I know you've heard this stuff before. This is like being an energetic match to what you want, but it is so critical and crucial for us when we're healing from ancestral trauma because the paradigm is so big. The paradigm of lack and scarcity and unworthiness and limitation, it's so big and it's so heavy.


And those subconscious programs, they come forward right away and just cut it, right? They just, like as soon as you start to step outside, it's like, nope, come right back here. Come right back into this little shame hole that you belong in. So we have to definitely put more effort into it than the average person who may not have experienced such extreme trauma in this lifetime.


But when we do put that effort in, we build our faith muscles because we see it working, right? It works because we actually take that leap. We have faith. We begin to expect.


Okay, no, I deserve more. I'm going to choose higher. I'm going to choose something new or something that supports me, something that honors my energy, something that honors my body. And I'm going to trust that it's going to work out and I'm going to take action and go towards it. And I'm going to break the chains of this ancestral trauma that's telling me I always have to struggle, that it's always going to be darkness and I deserve nothing more and nothing will ever work out for me. And I'm going to choose myself.


When you choose yourself, Source honors you because Source loves you and Source wants you to choose yourself.


So it's not dangerous to choose yourself. It's actually the safer path because you are getting in alignment with who you really are as a sovereign being, as a powerful creator, as a divine child of God.


So you choose yourself and you say, no, no, no. I know there's more than this binary mode of thinking where I have only this crappy decision and this crappier decision. I'm going to step outside of this paradigm. It's going to be hard.


I'm going to face resistance every step of the way. I'm going to have to build my faith muscles, but I continue to choose myself. I continue to choose to support my energy, to honor myself.


Even if everything around me is saying, no, that's not possible. You're crazy. Even if people are telling me, you can't forget about it, I'm going to continue to hold that frequency as much as I can.


And when I fall back into doubt and illusion, it's okay. I just get back up on the horse and I just choose myself some more and I choose myself again and I honor my energy.


And then Source is like, hell yeah, you're coming in now. You're coming into the light. You're realizing what a powerful creator you are, that you have the power to choose something different, but it's up to you. It is up to you.


You have to extricate yourself from this paradigm of ancestral trauma that tells you that lack and scarcity and struggle are the only fucking things available to you. As long as you listen to that, you stay stuck in it and you never confront these deeper parts of yourself that are really holding those beliefs and pulling you back. Every time you try to step forward, they're going to pull you back. They're trying to protect you, but it's okay. You're like, I'm going to take a chance.


And it is going to be a risk. Yes, it is. You are going to step into uncertainty and the unknown. It's going to be scary.


You might spend money before you make it. You might take action before you have all the, what do they say, the ducks lined up or whatever, all the things in place, right? That's part of the leap is like, I don't have it all worked out, but I'm going to try. I'm going to go for it.


And the reason it's going to work is because I'm choosing myself because I'm getting in right alignment with who I really am. Because when I honor myself, I'm honoring God.


I'm honoring Source because I am made in the likeness. And I choose to extricate myself from this fucking paradigm of ancestral trauma and lack and scarcity and struggle because I know that it is a karmic loop. And it loops and it loops. And it's the same thing, different day. And you know this story well, my friend, because you've been living it for lifetimes and it's time to alchemize and transmute all of this and choose yourself and choose higher.


So when you're stuck between a rock and a hard place, and you can't go this way and you can't go that way, it's because you're supposed to go up. Okay. You're supposed to go higher.
