Trust Yourself

Seth’s description here of becoming aware of your impulses and their origins is an aspect of the type of processing that Lazaris speaks of.  Processing in Lazaris’ terms involves becoming consciously aware of the “materials” and “tools” of manifestation and to make conscious choices in line with our ideals.  The “materials” are our attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, choices and decisions.  The “tools” are our desires, imagination and expectation.  Seth's recommendation to be aware of our impulses in each moment and to make conscious choices is a fundamental part of processing and a necessary prerequisite for living the life we came to live.

This journey we that call life can be exuberant … listen to the impulses, the whispers of soul and love yourself enough to pay attention.

“Some people are only aware of – or largely aware of – impulses toward anger, because they have inhibited those natural impulses toward love that would otherwise temper what seemed to be aggressive desires.  When you begin trusting yourselves, you start by taking it for granted that to some extent at least you have not trusted yourself or your impulses in the past: You have thought that impulses were dangerous, disruptive, or even evil.  So, as you begin to learn self-trust, you acknowledge your impulses.  You try them on for size.  You see where they lead you by allowing them some freedom.  You do not follow urges through that would hurt others physically, or that seem in direct contradiction to your present beliefs – but you do acknowledge them.  You do try to discover their source.  Behind them you will almost always find an inhibited impulse – or many of them – that motivated you to move in some ideal direction, to seek a love or understanding so idealized in your mind that it seemed impossible to achieve.  You are left with the impulse to strike out.”
