Even a self imposed limitation is a lie that requires life energy to maintain it as part of your reality.

Where am I going with this? I think we’re all carrying vital energy robbing baggage around with us …that continues to shrink the amount of “juice” we have to live our lives to the fullest.

Your life may be the result of getting by on five or ten percent of your true energy potential! The rest is being used up.

That doesn’t leave a lot of “headroom” as far as an energy reserve, does it?

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that when you get back in touch with your true self, dissolving the false constructs which represent the various aspects of your “baggage” and “mask”, you begin to experience more energy, more vitality and start to look younger too.

Hardened attitudes, opinions and beliefs are a form of spiritual concrete …a spiritual black hole that sucks up your natural life energy.

Add to this a number of falsely based assumptions, outright lies and little compromises, amassed over a lifetime and you end up with a web of energy absorbing constructs that cheat you out of the vitality and zest for life that is your birthright!

Maybe “unleashing yourself” really has more to do with letting go of the “mask” and “baggage”, instead of having that next big epiphany.

What good is an epiphany if you don’t have the energy, to make what you realize, an integral part of your day-to-day reality? Without the energy to transform yourself, that epiphany is relegated to the least energy intensive application: Memory data.

Your response to the epiphany becomes, “oh yeah, I’ve heard that before” or “that’s interesting” as you sock it away in your memory. You have little or no energy for taking inspiration within that epiphany and using it as a foundation for transforming your life.

So you find yourself living a life with all kinds knowledge and experience but no “juice”. Your vital energy sapped by your “mask and “baggage”, with no energy left over to change anything in your life

…so you get bored, bitter and old. You look around and tell yourself: “I’m just acting my age”.
