willingness to ex-position

I came across this colourful image and felt it points out something about minding your palette of choice. 

To my mind, it holds an important clue on managing your social mental emotional, moving it in the desired direction.

Apparently this image is founded on the understandings of David Hawkins.

The numbers on the left, indicate frequencies of vibrations of the self.
It is a gradual scale (as the rainbow is also indicating) where 17 mental emotional positions have been given a name one might recognise, from talking about inner world sensations.

On the right, in blue and red, are markings: contracted and expanded.
They indicate the state of mind, the state of consciousness, the scope of the awareness.

Although all sensations have  a place on this scale, the higher frequencies hold more appeal to most people to experience on a long term day to day bases than the lower ones.

The article (about a shift in consciousness) where I found this, stated that most people are currently living most of the time in a bandwidth around the 250 mark.  Neutral. Not ‘positive’, not ‘negative’. Somewhere on the threshold between contracted and expanded awareness.

Now, often these people speak of a desire (125) to experience more love (500) , more joy (540), and more peace (600) of mind, because they are sad (75) or angry (150) that life isn’t as enjoyable for them as them anticipate it could be.

Funnily enough, with my passion, experience and chosen occupation, I often have conversations about these topics with such people, offering to shine my light on the matter, to support them to be able to make this change.

I have always maintained that I can work with anyone who is willing and able to actively reach ‘willingness’ in himself.

If there is a will, there is a way. If there is no active will, there is no- way change is going to (miraculously) happen.

It sounds so simple, but to actively energetically shift gear to full wholehearted willingness, may be the ‘hardest thing’ ever.

I often compare it to driving a car.
You can’t go backwards and forward at the same time. If you want to change the direction of the movement, you have to stand still and actively put the gearbox into the other direction.

• From Reverse to Drive, in an automatic car.
• From Reverse to 1^st gear in a manual gearbox.

Only wanting it, willing it in the sense of thinking the thought, liking the idea, is not enough to actually achieve this.

The active willingness to change the direction of your social mental emotional life dynamics, comes with the ability to completely stop yourself. Which I refer to on this website as the 3 stops ( mini-me-time/transformation time).

This, higher in active awareness and energy,  overall process-orientated willingness(310) , is therefore very different from passively longing for a certain outcome, the result-orientated desire (125).

This morning I suddenly found myself calling the required type of willingness: the willingness to ex-position.

Correct English? Maybe not. But it sure is correct Soul-speak.
(and has a strong link to a formerblog post I wrote on expositions)

The willingness to ex-position, is the conscious decision to be willing to step away from all previous (= ex) mental positions you are deriving your current sense of identity from. To let go of feeding them. To let go of ‘being’ them.

In self-development speak, it is popular to phrase that as ‘ to let go of ego’… which is so abstract that not many people would know what that is,  in practical terms and actions. Many interpret this as having to  get rid, totally,  of their ego (their personal identity). Which is not how I interpret it.

I see it more like this:
When your car driving instructor says:”  let go of the throttle’! “ you don’t get you wrench and crowbar out to rip the whole thing permanently out! IN that case, it is easy to understand that the throttle handles the levels of energy added to fuelling the propulsion in the direction you are currently going in right now and functions very well both in reverse as well as in driving forward.
Usually this ‘let go’ instruction is followed by ‘ and hit the break’!
Where the teacher will emphasize the importance of learning to do that firmly, confidently, purposefully, but not foolishly.. for you don’t want to bang your head on the windscreen or be a unpredictable hazard to other traffic.

In minding your palette of choice, changing from the lower frequencies to the higher vibrations, you have got to perform a similar social-emotional mental exercise, to move gracefully from contracted (reverse) to expanded (forward).

Sounds simple?
Hum…..

You may be (unconsciously) very confidently fuelling that you have to be in a certain position:

• You believe that you have to feel guilty about taking the initiative for a divorce, in order to be a reliable considerate ex-partner and a compassionate loving loyal child to the parents who you know to feel both ‘trapped’ in a co-dependent marriage.
• You believe that you have to feel anger for all the hurt your peers, parents, partners, siblings, teachers and co-workers caused over time, in order to be justified as a poor-me victim of life, to receive attention and comfort.
• You believe you have to be proud on ‘what your people tend to believe and do’, in order to be a worthy representative of your tribe.

So hanging onto the emotional sensation may not look that appealing, but letting go of all the social goodies, like attention and acceptance attached to sticking to these positions, appeals even less!

For, you fear, internalised and incorporated somewhere deep down, that if you were to let go of these position your survival is seriously at stake.

And it is that social mental-emotional  position, you desire to survive (life?), is overpowering any willingness to really experience being alive, full throttle. It is that throttle that keeps propelling you in the direction you actually have great discomforts with.

Discomforts?
Yes.
For on soul-level, you being knows that far more important than your physical survival, is the quality of life while living it.
On soul-level, you know, that your chances on doing well on both physical survival and genuine high quality social interactions are much higher if you are also able to move ‘forward’ in life.

Letting go of the positions you are not actively in, anymore, means letting go of positions strongly related to past experiences, past roles you played in life.
It is therefore I call them here ex-positions.

And when you are in the no-position, with no-movement, then all options and all positions are open to you, in the here and now. Yes, you can go in reverse, if you so wish. But from here the option to move forward is open to too.

From the willingness(310) to exposition, gradually adding energy, you see and accept(350) the positions you are currently in, in you’re here and now. You see the reason (400) why you are here, the direction you fancy taking. You love (500)  where you are and were you are going, enjoying (540)  the ride, with peace of mind (600) and total awareness (700), even moving at high speed, of what is going on around you (thanks to mirrors all around) and full understanding on how you influence the quality of the flow of all traffic.

In going forward at high speed ( high resonances, high vibrations), you endeavour to show up very clearly ‘for all to see’ .  You aim to drive at the highest resonances you can currently reach for, timely indicating your intentions to others involved.
Really, this exposition of life is not much different from driving a car safely through traffic!

So the willingness to exposition has an iridescent multi-perspective, multicoloured meaning in this blog post.

Notice as well, that understanding that you are temporarily letting go of all ex-positions, in order to move happily forward on your journey, in a higher position, in a higher gear now… will teach you that you are not ripping out the other roles out of your life experience, the different positions you once had. They just transform, for the better (for all involved) .

And so then you’ll know that you don’t have to (and cannot really) ‘stop’ permanently ‘ being in those positions’.
But now you can integrate being All You Are, (also the range of 250 and up) without the fear-fuelled need to stick to driving in ‘reverse’.

Willingness therefor is to my mind much less about the willingness to 'do' something slightly different, but the willingness to stop, to re-asses the overall direction in your emotional gearbox.
