Written by This post is not about 20 things to do to be authentic yourself. One size fits all doesn’t apply. Actually, it is very personal. It’s not only about what we have experienced, it is also about how we perceive them. Our feelings and decisions’ roots are deeper than we know. What makes us who we are now is not just about this lifetime. We need to add past lives; on Earth, in between lives, in other places and in other forms. The twist is we forget everything or almost everything when we come to Earth. Even for someone who had hundreds of past lives on Earth, life is challenging. It is even harder for a Starseed with a deep lingering feeling of there is more in life than how our lives are and thinking a lot of things are wrong on Earth. Not knowing why we feel this way, not to have anybody around to talk, all the social and cultural limitations make everything more complicated for us, Starseeds. Basically, a lot has happened since where and as who we were originated.
To find our authentic ourselves, we can’t be lost in details of our lives. That won’t help so much, and it takes way too much time and energy. So, I believe one of the most effective approaches is realization. Looking at the things in different ways, questioning hard rock solid facts that we take granted and never even give few minutes to think about. Another great help is connecting both with beings in higher dimensions and other Starseeds. Luckily, we have a lot of powerful modalities to help us find true ourselves.
In the middle and high school, at the breaks, after math and science classes, I was answering my classmates’ questions. I was observing what they asked, the points where and why they were stuck. Explaining the way our teacher did was like repeating them, so didn’t help. When I was trying to find a way, I noticed when I put myself to their shoes and looked at from their view; I was talking to them on their way. I never forget, once there was a complicated math problem. There was a group of classmates around me. At the end of the break, one of them was very surprised and excited. His grades were 0 or 1 in 10 for the exams. He believed he was not good at mathematics, said he couldn’t believe how he could understand the solution. He was repeating to himself while he was looking at my face with confusion and said it was a difficult one. I told him it’s not about how easy or difficult a problem was, it’s about we were not always thought in the way our brains work. This is no different from trying to wear wrong size shoes and being judged/labeled because it doesn’t fit us. We people should be the first, not the system. When we are truly valued, really, really seriously valued, things will start from us. We won’t be the last piece in the game. This is just one example. It tells that we all are actually smarter than we are credited for. What other things are there that we are being undervalued and not getting the credit we deserve?
Okra, I like small and very tender ones cooked with tomato sauce. If the only okra I’ve ever seen and tasted were the frozen woody okras in the supermarkets, I would say I don’t like and I wouldn’t eat them. I also don’t like the vegetables look and taste like maybe steamed in a rush, but not really considered cooked. You know the ones next to the steak in the restaurants, like green beans, broccoli, cauliflower. I think plastic taste also has a big contribution to that. It’s easy to say I don’t like vegetables and ignore them when options are not so exciting. Have you ever eaten just picked delicious heirloom vegetable? Although not all of them that much delicious, but a lot of them are with a delicate texture, unforgettable aroma and flavor. When someone says they don’t like vegetables and they stay away from them, I believe what they actually say is they don’t like eating plastics, they don’t have the opportunity to have the right ones and taste them in the way they would like to eat. So, what other things do we say we don’t like but maybe we would, if we had access to a better version of them?
How about hobbies? If we never tried, we can never know what we would like. Assuming that we know ourselves doesn’t always give the right answer. For example, myself. I’m an apartment kid grew up in a big city. If you asked me where the food came from before 2006, I would say from refrig. or the supermarket. I didn’t care. But that changed dramatically. My (ex now) boyfriend’s aunt gifted me a violet plant in 2002 Easter. That turned to an experiment to grow some vegetables in our backyard. That little spot grew. I eventually had 3,000 sq ft heirloom vegetable garden. I learned from blogs, forums, YouTube, books and my experience. How did something totally unrelated to me turn to a lifelong obsession? Does it come from past lives? What other things would we love a lot, but never thought we would, so never even tried? Just for a moment, if we think, what if we have gifts we didn’t discover yet?
We were told that gravity is the force pulling the things which have a mass towards to the center. What if it’s the other way around? What if the force is actually pushing the things from above us? Wouldn’t be the result the same? The point is here, in our lifetime, we expose to a lot of information. Among all of them, certain things consider absolute facts. They are like foundation pieces and we have built our lives like a skyscraper based on them. I believe we Starseeds have an advantage about this, though. Because when we come across some information that is wrong, we sense it. Maybe we don’t know how we know it, or even why it pulled our attention and why we care, but that deep feeling tells us that’s not true. Of course, it’s harder when everybody says the otherwise. But because of that feeling, we have a more flexible foundation in our beliefs. So, when the truth comes out, we are not afraid. But so many people have a rigid foundation, they don’t want to know the truth. They are right in their terms. How to change a foundation of a skyscraper with no damage to the building above? For example, up to the recent years, the universe was infinite. Now it’s accepted that it has limits. It’s said there were times people even believed Earth was flat! Which absolute facts are really not true and waiting to be corrected? What will be the impact on all of us?
Although it’s a common practice to put the things into the groups, categorize them and label them, it doesn’t feel right to apply to the people. Starseeds need to be authentic. We are role models, leaders, healers, teacher, advisers. We are the hope for Earth. So much pain for so long, a tremendous excitement is needed. To get a different result, we gotta do something different. That’s where we come to the picture.
You know, this subject can’t be summarized with a few pages. So, I started from here, I’ll write to expand it time to time.
