Strike Deserve From Your Vocabulary
Hello there.
When it comes to Manifestation
or the achievement of our desires,
nothing stands in our way
in quite the same way as 'deserving' does.
We feel like we must deserve things to manifest.
We feel like we must deserve what we want and what we need.
This would be 'okay',
not great, but okay...
If people believed they were deserving.
But the reality is,
most people on this planet don't actually feel like they are.
The word Deserving originated in the 1200's
from the Latin word 'Deservire',
which meant:
"To devote oneself to the service of".
The word then evolved to mean:
"To merit, be qualified for, be worthy of,
or have claim to something,
such as a reward, a punishment, or a desire,
because of actions, qualities or situation."
Herein lies the problem:
The very concept of Deserve implies
that one must first serve, qualify, or earn
in order to receive.
Deserving is not a concept which originated
with Source Consciousness.
It is a by-product of disconnected, out-of-Alignment,
human Consciousness.
We came up with the idea of 'deserving'
from our out-of-Alignment authority figures.
Most of us learned this in our primary homes
with our primary caregivers.
Love is our very first and very last desire.
After all, without Love, we wouldn't survive.
Our survival is dependent upon other people,
'Mom' to begin with,
(or whoever our primary caregiver was),
being there in order to help us survive.
We were absolutely dependent upon them.
If your primary caregivers didn't love you,
they wouldn't feed you.
You would die.
So, Love, which is the primary desire,
became the primary mode
through which we understood the concept of 'deserving'.
When we act in ways that are deemed bad,
love is withheld from us.
We are punished or sent to our rooms.
When we act in ways that are deemed good,
love is given to us.
We are rewarded with cuddles or kisses or gifts or praise.
From the very early months of our lives,
we being to notice that love must be earned
and that it is earned by being "good".
Being good, in essence, qualifies me for love.
It is not long after,
that we learn that Love isn't the only thing that works this way
in fact,
We must be good in order to deserve presents from Santa Claus,
we must behave in order to deserve a cookie,
we must do chores to deserve allowance,
we must work to deserve money,
we must be philanthropic to deserve good things to happen to us,
and it gets worse...
When I think I deserve something,
I see myself as entitled to that thing,
but in society, 'entitlement' is seen as a bad thing.
An 'entitled' person is seen as a selfish, ungrateful,
unthoughtful and, therefore, "bad" person.
So we believe that we must deserve something,
in order to
But that if we think that we deserve something,
we're entitled, and therefore, 'bad' and therefore, don't deserve it.
Talk about a Lose-Lose belief.
Our entire society is set up around the concept
of qualifying for desires.
We must deserve, in order to receive.
This is because the social order of the family
and the social order of this human society,
is based upon the concept of punishment & reward.
What's more than that, it's based upon the concept of Earning.
The minute we think we must earn what we desire,
it puts us in a subservient position
relative to what we are trying to get our desires from.
We were subservient to our parents
when we were trying to earn the cookie from them.
We were subservient to our boss
when we were trying to earn money from the company.
We were subservient to the government
when we were trying to earn our freedom and avoid prison by following rules.
And the list goes on and on ...
But now, when it comes to Manifestation,
we are in a subservient position to the Universe Itself
(otherwise known as Source or God)
when we are trying to earn or qualify for what we have asked for.
We are Source Itself
(manifested in a physical body).
This means that we are indivisible from Source Itself.
That means that when you ask the Universe or Source for something,
you are ultimately asking yourself for something.
We are not appealing to a judgmental Authority Figure
who decides whether we have qualified for what we want (or not).
Our desires are, in fact, the things that enable Expansion.
Every time you have a desire,
the Universe matches the Vibration of that desire, exactly.
It adopts that Vibration because it is in the process
of achieving Self-awareness.
And, when a Being desires something,
it is as good as saying: "Universe, this is what you are".
This is why the Universe or God
knows it is Love above all other things.
Because it is the most unanimous desire above all other desires
that have ever emanated from every Being in existence
since the first separate Being was thought into creation
by Source Consciousness.
The Universe wants you to desire.
It benefits by desire.
Not only does it benefit by desire,
Its own Expansion and process towards Self-Awareness
cannot happen without your desire.
What's more than that,
it can't continue unless you line up with your desire.
That means, when you desire something,
the Expansion of this Universe is dependent upon you
getting to that desire,
experiencing it in a physical way.
If you desire a perfect relationship
(according to your current understanding of 'perfect relationship'),
you cannot Expand and the Universe cannot Expand
unless you reach that new relationship.
And so it benefits this Universe
for you to achieve every desire you could possibly think up.
The Universe's desire is dependent upon
your desires coming to fruition.
What does this mean?
It means the Universe
The Universe is not an Authority Figure.
It is just the less condensed version of you.
It is, by far, the larger part of you.
So when the Universe gives you something
it is 'you' that is giving to you.
And you cannot be subservient to yourself.
So let me ask you a few questions:
If you create something like art,
do you have to 'deserve' that art
before you see it manifest on the canvas?
How worthy are you of your own creation?
And most importantly:
Do you have to 'qualify' for your own creation?
The answer is: No!
Our life, our manifestations
are our own creation.
They are creations of our consciousness.
In reality, they are not 'granted' by anything or anyone.
Once they are created by our own consciousness,
they are either allowed or resisted
by our own thoughts, words, and actions,
here in our waking physical life.
What does this mean?
It means that your 'deserving' was never in question.
It means that you deserve anything you could ever think of, to desire.
And you could never do anything
that would make you unworthy
of what you desire.
Not pride, not selfishness,
not murder, not abuse -
nothing you could ever do,
could make you unworthy of your own creations.
It is an idea that is not supported by the Universe at large.
It is an idea that is designed to maintain social order.
You know what? It's done a pretty good job of that!
We've maintained social order in the family and in society
at the cost of killing our individual sense of worthiness.
Well done!!
A while back I did a video for 'Ask Teal' on Deserving.
It's specifically designed to help those of you
who don't feel deserving and who feel unworthy,
to line up with the idea that you might, just possibly,
'deserve' the things that you want.
So it's a good idea to go watch that video
if you struggle with 'deserving' and are watching
However, today I'm gonna take you one step further
by making a very bold statement.
And that's that the idea of Deserve,
and the word 'Deserve',
should be stricken from your vocabulary.
I'm going to suggest that we replace the word 'Deserve'
(as it applies to Manifestation or the attaining of our desires),
with a new word that does not yet exist in the English Language.
The word is: INOWN.
It is a portmanteau of 'Inherent' and 'Ownership'.
Everything you want is already
it belongs to you,
you just don't realize it yet ...
Whether or not you've manifested it yet or not,
it is inherent within you.
And so, there is an inherent ownership (that already exists),
of everything that you desire.
The trick to Manifesting is to recognize that inherent ownership,
which is to instantly recognize yourself as worthy
and, therefore, deserving of what you want.
To ask someone if they feel like they 'inown' what they want,
is to ask someone if they recognize their inherent ownership
of the thing that they want.
It is to ask if they are aware of the fact
that they do not need to deserve the thing that they want
because they already own it.
The power of a new word,
is that it does not come with attachments
or preconceived beliefs.
Because of this, we can invent its meaning.
So today, I put forth the proposition
that we throw out the corrupted word 'Deserve'
and replace it with a new word - 'Inown',
so that our Consciousness
can be one with the idea -
and the truth -
that we do not need to be worthy of what we desire,
we do not need to qualify for what we desire,
because we
Have a good week.
