Inner Authority
Two Aspects to Inner Authority
Two Aspects to Inner Authority
This is about how you think and act in the world, how you learn about and know your own world, and how you learn about and know your self. Much of these skills are sorely lacking and rarely taught.
1) How We Think
This is about how we make choices, assess, discern, verify and how we know what we know. How we spot and deal with disinformation, and what sources we choose to listen to are part of how we choose to think.
2) How We Know Ourselves
This is about what do we believe, how do we change our beliefs, how do we choose what to believe, how do we feel about ourselves, how do we fool ourselves, what are our biases and how do we avoid them, and do we have a reliable way to consistently make good choices and have confidence in those choices?
I educate and train ways to radically expand your inner authority. This makes sure you are in charge of you, and able to trust in yourself and the choices you make.
How We Think
More and more people let others do their thinking for them. Instead of researching various perspectives, people go to a liked source and take what is presented at face value, without verifying, assessing, discerning or researching on their own. Much of our world has the many problems it has because of the lack of critical thinking.
Our inner authority is very much about how we critically think — how do we get information, assess and verify information? How do we go about choosing sources of information? How often do we re-assess how accurate and ethical is our chosen source of information?
How We Make Choices
What are our selection criteria? How do we go about choosing our selection criteria? How do we go about getting information to make good choices?
How Do We Know That We Know?
Most of what we know came from another source. How do we know if what we know is valid? We are wired to want to believe that what we know is accurate, though it rarely is.
There are tv shows out there that are based on how we mislead ourselves. The Irrational the lives on Peacock is a great show that details some of our ways of tricking ourselves. Brain Games that streams on the Disney Channel is another great show that explains and demonstrates many ways we unconsciously think and act.
I take a lot of the ways we trick ourselves and educate and train you in principles to cut through the tricks so you can trust in your own assessment of information.
How We Know Ourselves
Inner Compass
There is an aspect of our bodies that we all have, but so few know about. We have an inner compass, that when you know how to access it, you can ask your body when making choices or considering anything what is better for you or more aligned with your heart and soul. I am NOT talking about muscle testing, but something far more accurate.
Our Minds Trick Us, But Our Bodies Never Lie
Our bodies respond to any statement put to it with biological markers of truth or not true. When truth for an individual is spoken (or read) by that individual or by another, our bodies respond one way if it is true for them, and another if it is not.
A person has to know how to listen. The beauty of this is that our brains trick us in so many ways, and we rarely know when our minds trick us. But our bodies never lie. Our bodies have a built in system for knowing what is true for us at that time of inquiring.
I educate and train individuals in how to use this inner compass. This skill set is part of the Paradox Cure skills, and is taught throughout all of my Paradox Cure offerings as well.
How Do You Best Choose A Path, Course, Or Guide?
How Do You Assess If An Offering Will Give You What You Want?
Do you know why you are really here? Do you know what you want and/or need?
When we visit a website for the first time, most of us ask, “what is here for me?” We want something, even if we don’t know exactly what that might be when we are looking.
Often we look at websites and articles to get clear of what we want, as well as the options out there.
Eventually you will need to make a choice. How Do You CHOOSE?
Do you know what you actually DO as you assess and make choices?
This is what I educate and train people on with Inner Authority. These questions and skill sets are at the core of cultivating our ability to discern information, assess, and make the best life choices for ourselves. You learn how others attempt to manipulate you into doing what they want, and how to easily spot and avoid disinformation.
Ask Better Questions
Asking better questions, and truly assessing and verifying any offering you are considering leads to higher quality choices. The ability to make better life choices leads to the opportunities for higher quality jobs and careers, relationships, health choices, purchases, education, and so many overall better life choices.
Consider These Questions, Because You Can Get Higher Quality Answers:
- What do you truly want?
- How do you know that you want that? Did a friend or social media post say this is what you should want?
- How will you know when you get that?
- How are you making choices? Are you clear on your selection criteria — what areas in your choices are you focusing on?
- How are you comparing different offerings? And do you have clear measures on measuring the differences?
- When someone says something is better, how much better exactly? And how much of a difference does that measured difference really make?
These are even juicier questions, and speak more to feeling life:
- How do you know who to listen to? Read? Learn from? Ask for guidance?
- How will you know when someone speaks to your truth? Your Heart and Soul?
- How will you know when you stumble upon a path that is right for you NOW?
I cannot answer these questions for you, and I won’t pretend that I could (though many do). I don’t think it works when anyone else answers those questions for you! When someone else answers these personal questions for you, you only end up with more negative consequences that outweigh any of the potential positive consequences.
But I can educate and train you how to ask better questions, and think and assess way better!
A Message To You, Dear Ones, That Feel Life
I know how challenging it can be to find a guide, workshop, coach, webinar or book that might help me get something I want, or make a change.
And then once I find something to help me along, how do I trust that it will work – is it truly worth investing my time, energy and attention to use the information?
I have guided 100’s of individuals, and many more in groups, workshops, retreats and seminars I have given since 1995. My message that follows is a culmination of: guiding those individuals; my own personal growth work since 1986, participating in so many workshops, organizations and seminars; and my path in life that has been full of terribly hard, harsh and unrelenting hardships.
I am very good at what I do, but no matter how much of my background I share, it wouldn’t come close to who I truly am and how I might guide you on your journey. I invite you to read my message and listen to your heart.
And a big part of what I do is to hold space and support each individual to cultivate their Inner Authority, in particular their ability to know and choose what is best for them.
I am in service to individuals to experience a wonderful life expressing their Living Purpose, work through their hurts –Paradox Cure, and accept the magnificence of who they are in their Inner Authority.
Watch! Listen! Sense! Reach! Keep Reaching …
To you dear ones that feel life ...
WATCH!
Watch for the wise ones who point you to shine light on YOUR truth,
and you cry as they illuminate what was once dark.
LISTEN!
Listen for the elders who train you to whisper to your Soul,
and you resonate as they sing a song you hear in your heart of hearts.
SENSE!
Sense the perceptive ones who teach you to know your true Self,
and you laugh as they notice how you evade your magnificence.
REACH!
Reach for the leaders who implore you to seize the inner knowing you feel in your bones,
and you tremble as they loosen your grip on the lies you held so tight.
KEEP REACHING
There are those of us who wait — calmly alert, and alertly calm.
Some of us not so calm.
We poke and evoke, inform and transform.
We are really good at it!
And we are among you — the good ones!
But you must keep reaching,
Enough to stumble when you really want to find us.
And when you look, open your eyes — really wide.
Try a very cold shower, a dawning sun, or a lot of caffeine.
Stop eating for a couple of days.
Or be alone in nature for three — that will open.
And do the unexpected.
Start small.
Reverse your toilet paper roll.
Take a route to work you never take.
Eat what you never eat.
Watch what you never watch.
Go bigger.
Call the friend you never call.
Forgive that person you never forgave.
Say you are sorry to that person you didn’t.
Visit that person you never visit.
If you keep reaching, open your eyes wide, and do the unexpected,
You WILL stumble.
You HAVE to stumble!
You can only find us when you are not looking in the ways you always do.
If you look as you always look, you will find what you always find.
We, the good ones, are not found where you always look.
Why?
Silly! You would have already found us!
So reach.
So really reach.
Keep reaching.
Now open your eyes.
Open them really wide.
Do the unexpected.
Yes, you can start small.
But you may need to go bigger at some point.
And stumble.
You MUST stumble.
Really stumble!
Are you reaching?
Really reaching?
Oh. THERE!
Hi. We got you!
