Hello and welcome.

My name is Jim Rajan and this session is about courage,

Courageousness,

On finding your courageousness.

Where does one find courage?

How does one conjure it up when needed?

Is it truly as brittle as we've been taught?

Courage is intuition mixed with the taking of action.

So what is intuition?

It is the space around the particles,

The molecules,

The atoms.

It is the space between the notes as music flows free.

The peace between the waves.

The space between expansion and contraction of the cycles of life.

Intuition is the receiving of information from elsewhere,

From somewhere further than the five senses,

Like laying softly in the forest of dreams,

Open to all that is.

Intuition is universal energy formulating crystalline patterns and rhythmic spirals that the sensing body feels and interprets.

Then you combine it with how you've been conditioned by life and with how you have conditioned yourself and you come to the point of decision whether or not to take action.

Sometimes the greatest decision for human betterment and survival is to not take action.

But only sometimes.

Life is so full of opportunity and possibility in the here and now that not taking action generally only weakens your experience.

On the contrary,

Action is possibility.

Action is creation.

The ancient Sanskrit word karma actually means action or deed.

There is no such thing as good or bad karma.

Only the action you take in your daily adventure.

You fear of the consequences but that's just the mind looking for a comfortable,

Less challenging experience.

So courage is the combining of intuitiveness and deed,

Sensing and motion,

Sensing and movement.

Courage is movement.

It is the creation of what was not there before.

Courage is not predictableness.

It is openness to the freedom of all possibility and it must go hand in hand with non-punishment of the self.

There cannot be I am wrong in the realm of courage.

This is not the absence of fear.

This is the dedication to sensing and then taking action upon the interpretation of that sensing.

Let me repeat that.

This is not the absence of fear.

This is the dedication to sensing and then taking action upon the interpretation of that sensing and all encapsulated within I'm okay,

This is okay,

If this goes wrong it is okay.

Failure is such an ugly word.

Let us banish it to the far reaches of space and time,

Never to return.

No,

This is courage.

Courage is being your feelings and acting upon them while giving away the result,

Giving away the guarantee of success.

Another ugly word.

Success,

Shiny,

Yes,

But ugly.

Banish it.

A far,

Far too limiting word for you and I,

My friend.

Courageousness is to sit in the soul and create motion,

Movement.

Create movement and chart a beautiful course through space and time with it,

With yourself.

Caringly,

Daringly,

With no need of punishment upon yourself.

You lay in the forest of dreams and look for life.

Watch and let life come,

Loving,

Looking for you.

Lay in the forest of dreams where action is creation,

Where courage is freedom to be what,

Where,

Why and how you want to be.

Be free and create.

Courage is the intuition,

Your intuition combined with the taking of action.

Where that goes will always be new.

Thank you.

Meet your Teacher

I truly appreciate the perspective shared here. It's interesting that success is used in the title of this series and here the concept is admonished as "shiny" but limiting. I agree.
