Blessings and welcome back to The Way of the Spiritual Warrior,
Learning to become unstoppable.
My name is Daniel Ruquillo and as always I'm very very grateful and honored that you're choosing to join me as we're continuing to journey along the path of a spiritual warrior,
Allowing us to transform our lives forever and for the better,
Allowing us to evolve our consciousness,
To lead our minds,
To thrive in every aspect of life,
Allowing us to truly become unstoppable as we're moving toward our inspired mission,
Our sacred mission,
The highest possibility for us in our lives,
The most beautiful life that we can ever live or however we want to articulate it.
Closing this particular section we are addressing a very important point.
The absolute need for us to be brutally honest with ourselves as we're moving along this path.
This is about learning a new way of life,
Meaning that it is a gradual process of learning the way of the spiritual warrior.
And we will be challenged to look at ourselves,
To really be honest with ourselves,
Engage how am I performing where this particular warrior way is concerned.
There is a saying that goes ignorance is bliss.
Ignorance is not bliss.
Awareness is bliss.
Because we can only change and transform and heal that within us that we are aware of.
And so as we're moving through these sessions we want to move through them not looking at how this may benefit any other individual that we may have close to us or that we may know.
But we want to move through this with the magnifying glass pointed at us.
Nothing in this is about information stacking.
Transformation is not about gathering information of any sorts.
It is about tuning in to the right source of information and then applying what we learn.
As the three principles of transformation so beautifully and powerfully remind us,
If we want to change anything in our lives,
We need to change.
That's a non-negotiable.
The second principle states that unless we change,
Nothing is ever going to change in our lives.
That's also a non-negotiable.
And the third principle is,
When we begin to change,
Everything begins to change,
And that's also absolute.
So as we're moving through this,
We want to absolutely pay attention to the words that are flowing through me.
But we want to pay even more attention to how we can apply these principles,
These tools,
These practices in a way that serves us as we are moving toward that inspired mission.
Toward the highest possibility.
Toward that most beautiful life that we can ever live.
The only thing that is ever standing in our way of achieving or reaching or realizing.
Anything is us.
There's no outside force that is keeping any one of us from making any choice,
From going off in any direction,
From pursuing our dreams,
From reaching our dreams.
The only enemy we have,
I think it was Pego who said it,
I've seen the enemy and he is me.
The only enemy we have are those small and limited stories and beliefs and ways of being and ways of doing and ways of habitually moving through life.
We want to be absolutely,
Brutally honest with ourselves about these traits.
About who we are now.
Becoming aware of what is holding us back within us.
The choices we're currently making.
The stories we're currently buying into.
The habits we presently are engaging in.
The fears that were giving permission to run us.
The worries,
The doubts.
The sense of not being worthy.
Of not being enough.
The sense of lack and scarcity.
The sense of separation from spirit,
From the good that we wish to experience All these,
We want to challenge every single one of these.
Not just once,
But over and over and over again,
So that we go deeper and deeper and deeper and higher and higher and higher.
But to do this,
We need to be brutally honest with ourselves about what is holding us back.
About what small and limited stores we are buying into.
Our daily habits.
Are they serving us?
Are they not serving us?
There are three stages to the healing process.
The first one is awareness.
We can only transform,
We can only heal,
We can only change that which we are aware of.
Unless we are aware of it,
There's nothing we can do to change it,
Right?
The second stage is to embrace and allow that which is.
Which simply means that we are so wise to,
Whenever we become aware of anything within ourselves that may be small and limited,
That may not serve who we are becoming,
What we're moving toward.
Rather than beating ourselves up.
Than judging ourselves,
Coming down on ourselves.
We want to simply embrace and allow ourselves,
Be grateful that we're becoming aware.
Because it is only when we are aware that we can change it.
And once we have the awareness of the thought form,
The story,
The belief.
.
.
The Habit the way of moving through life.
Armed with that awareness,
We can now make a new choice.
We can make a different choice.
We can go off in a new direction.
We can begin to entertain new beliefs.
Empowering beliefs as opposed to the disempowering beliefs and stories that we have held on to or bought into.
So we always,
Always,
Always want to be loving and kind towards ourselves.
Ignorance is not a bliss,
It's a curse!
I was listening to a book,
There are a number of books I'm listening to over and over and over again.
But there is one,
It's a book written by one of those self-made millionaires and he was talking about how in his early 20s he was broke,
He was living in his parents' basement on a fold-out couch and he was blaming everything around him for his misery and for his failure and for his disastrous life.
And a friend of the family who actually was a millionaire himself came to visit and for whatever reason walked down into the basement to have a little chat with this lad.
And the essence of that conversation was that this millionaire,
Who was also self-made,
In essence said that if you're not where you want to be in life,
It is because there's something you yet don't know.
And this is something that we will address later in this session,
But we want to be eternal students.
As spiritual warriors,
We do not ever want to say I know this.
Because if we knew it,
We would live it.
We truly only know that which we're living.
And chances are that none of us are living the most beautiful life that we can ever live.
Chances are that none of us are already living the highest possibility for us in our lives.
Meaning there is something that we still do not know.
There is something that needs to be released and let go of.
Let me use myself as an example.
As I've mentioned before,
I'm on a financial journey.
Transforming my finances.
Now,
I have been fairly good at making money.
However,
What I've realized these last six months is that while I was good at making money,
I was just as bad at managing that money.
So I would make a lot of money and I would spend a lot of money.
And the more I made,
The more I spent.
And this became a vicious circle,
Because the more I made,
The more I spent,
The more I needed to make,
Just to break even,
Right?
And I remember distinctly saying on so many occasions,
And I actually prided myself for saying this,
I'll go,
Nah,
I don't care about numbers.
I'd talk to my accountant and others and I'd always say,
Ah,
I don't care about numbers.
In a way I didn't.
But that was my bloated ego would have me believe that not caring about money was enlightened.
It was like,
Yeah,
I'm so enlightened,
I'm so spiritually evolved that I don't need to care about money.
I know that God is providing for me anyway.
What I've come to realize is that that was nothing but an excuse for me to hide behind so that I didn't have to take responsibility for my financial situation.
If i didn't care about the numbers how could anyone ask of me to be responsible for the numbers right?
And so this is not for this course but just weeding out that disempowering belief or excuse has allowed tremendous transformation to happen Now I'm very very attentive to the numbers.
Almost to the point where it's become obsessive.
I wanna know my numbers so well.
All this to say that hadn't it been for my discovery of that excuse of that story there would be no financial transformation in my life.
I would kept on just spending the money that came in.
But now that I know that that was my pattern,
To just make money to spend money,
Rather than to save and invest money,
Now I've been able to make new choices.
Which have put me on a completely different trajectory.
So the invitation is to be very very attentive to be very very honest to the point of being brutally honest with ourselves as to where we're falling behind where we're slacking where we're not reaching our full potential where there's room for expansion and growth.
Being honest about our blind spots,
So that we may continuously crash through who we used to be.
Allowing for new,
Greater and grander expression of who and what we are to emerge.
So that we may continuously step more and more and more into being that unstoppable spiritual warrior.
Because what has stopped us in the past are those blind spots.
Are those stories,
Those beliefs,
Those notions.
Those perceptions.
Those habits.
That's what's been stopping us in the past.
So owning up to them,
Taking responsibility for them,
Now allows us to move in a new direction.
So once again,
Thank you so,
So much.
For joining me,
For tuning in,
For participating.
Until we meet again,
As always,
I bless,
Bless,
Bless our days and I bless,
Bless,
Bless our ways.
With much love.
Many blessings.
Namaste.
