My inspiration to set these particular intentions comes from the TV show Lucifer. Long story short, Lucifer and his brother, Amenadiel, came into the realization that their Father was not controlling them or their lives. That in truth, they were the ones holding themselves back, creating a loop of the same shit different day scenario. Interestingly enough, Lucifer stated that in hell, people tortured themselves with what they believed they deserved. All he did was supply the scenery and players. The rest was up to the individual. It was both sad and comical when they both came to see that the same applied to them. They only received in life what they themselves believed they deserved. No one controlled their beliefs. No one controlled what came into their lives. No one was sitting somewhere on a lofty throne punishing them for deeds they did or fail to do. It was all on them. They believed they deserved to be punished. And so they were. They were being punished not by any deity, not by any other entity. Quite the contrary. It was all by their own hand that punishment was meted out.
Sure, we all have been told we're doing it to ourselves. That life happens through us, not to us. But to really know it, to truly believe it and then take action ... well, that's a whole other story.
I have known for years that I have been caught in my own self inflicted endless loop of torment. I convinced myself early on in life that I truly deserved the punishment that was handed out to me. So it comes as no surprise that the Universe provided me with assistance. Funny thing about my punishment. I don't even remember the reason. I can't recall why it all started in the first place. I have spent many sleepless nights trying to remember. I just can't. I just know it started when I was very young and has continued through the years. Oy! Talk about a slow learner!
Watching those last episodes of Lucifer taught me one thing. It doesn't matter why the punishment started -- it only matters that I myself end it. After all, I'm the only one that can. No one else can do it for me. So taking the Angel brothers' lead, I too end my loop of perpetual torment. I end it by me accepting the truth that I deserve better! That I deserve to be treated with respect. That I deserve to be who and what I am.
Granted, the criticisms and the pettiness of others will go on. It's all part of the learning process. The only thing that changes is my reaction to it all. Remembering and keeping forever in my mind that life isn't happening to me, but through me.
In articles to come, I will be sharing my experiences with the various modalities that I am using to break free of this cycle. It is my hope that one of you will benefit from my story and assist you in breaking free from your own personal torment loop!
I'm nobody's fool. I know it won't be easy. Then again, no one said it would be. But as Dolly Parton says, if you want rainbows you're gonna have to put up with a little rain!
Happy New Year Everyone!
