Mastery - What is That?

What does ‘Mastery’ really mean?

Mastery

Often people think of Mastery as having control over ones life. The truth is:  Mastery is an allowing of, or going along with Self to ‘fall in with’ all that is already happening in the moment. ‘Self’ being what appears in the moment as the world which includes this person that appears here as a ‘you’ and the play of all of that.  

Mastery is much more about learning your own way of navigating the terrain that is called ‘you’ or ‘this’ in each moment.  The navigation is not about following a map, however it certainly helps to know the terrain a bit – as in ‘Know thy Self’.

Knowing Happening

This knowing is not a knowing that is stationary, it is a unique perception of how you find life to be, how it has displayed itself along the way and your learnings through reception of perception of that.  To call it ‘yours’ is funny, but what else can we do?  

It does show up in the moment as this place called here that is known as a ‘you’  – as a person being here.  It can never be ‘owned’ as if separate or ‘a something’, yet it is unique and can be ‘owned’ in a different way.  A way of how the Truth likes you to stand by you: to speak up with what you know to be right for you, to be the authority of this space called ‘you’.  

You are the only one that understands yourself totally. You are the only one that knows yourself as deeply as you do, so of course you are the authority – you are the only one that has been with you: the perspective, the understanding, and how understanding comes to you through the way Consciousness displays itself to you (through direct experience).  Of course it is all Consciousness deepening into its own knowing of itself…it is not really ‘yours’ as if separate because you are Consciousness itSelf at play.

Understanding this ‘bottom line’ and relaxing open to this play that appears as if it is ‘you’ (and is also Consciousness itself) supports Mastery.  Yes to relaxing more and more deeply in the allowing of ‘That Which Is’ with Awareness of this play, however it plays.  It is the exact opposite of ‘doing’, yet includes a tending to What Is, whenever that happens to be called for.  

The gift of this Mastery?  A deepening of Awareness of the gift that it all is and that it has been given – apparently to this ‘you’, (we get to receive That) yet ultimately to its own Self:  Love at play, always Here Now.
