What Did You Sell your Soul For?

You did it. You sold your soul for a mess of pottage. You sold your soul for security. You sold your soul for approval, appreciation and “love.” You sold your soul for the appearance of power called force. You sold your soul for some magical belief system. You sold your soul to be a winner and a success. You sold your soul for a story of conformity or rebellion.

You decided what to sell your soul for, but you didn’t know what it was for until later.

Can anyone get through life without selling their soul? No. Is there any comfort in numbers? The polls change daily, don’t they? And have you found that you can outmaneuver anxiety? Maybe you will be the first.

What have you sold your soul for in the past? What are you selling out now for? You get to pick what you will sell your soul for, but not whether.

Let’s begin with some operating assumptions and definitions.

Soul is who you are.

No one knows who they are.

Personna is who you pretend to be

Shadow is what you pretend not to be

You can’t stand Persona or Shadow

You are constantly trying to change your state of mind

Altered states of consciousness (ASC’s) are the ways people become addicted to temporary changes, such as working hard, being lazy, consuming drugs or alcohol or food, seeking sexual stimulation, getting ahead, controlling people, shopping, retiring, winning, seeking attention, etc.

Whatever seems to alter your Personna or Shadow is what you sell your soul for.

Anxiety is a reminder that you sold your soul.

Your Shadow is where your sold out soul resides.

Enlightenment is the process of investigating how anxiety hides your divinity.
