Each one of us, to one degree or another, has an obsessive, resistant mind (ORM).

What is it resisting?

Our ORM is resisting releasing into life, our deepest, truest, most connected spiritual selves, which comes through when we write in our individual Divine Author Within (DAW) state.

We cannot blame our ORM for this. So many of the most heartfelt, connected souls that permanently brought this state into life met with less than pleasing conclusions to their time on this planet.

Joan of Arc was burned at the stake.

Jesus Christ was crucified.

An assassin’s bullet took down Abe, Gandhi, John, Bobby, and Martin.

Can you blame your ORM for being a little scared for you?

So I suggest approaching your ORM with compassion and appreciation. For it has kept your DAW safe until it was meant to be born, which might be now, as you read this piece.  Your ORM, in its addictive need to keep you safe, has led you to every societal accepted success that you have yet to experience in your life.

So an appreciative approach toward your ORM is definitely warranted. It is essential that any conversation you have with your ORM be shared from this perspective.

Yes, I am suggesting that you have a conversation with your ORM. You may have to have several conversations with it for any desired results to be achieved.

As with any important, conversational interchange you seek to have, set a specific time when you will be undisturbed to do so.

Then approach your, oftentimes unappreciated ORM in a sincere, contemplative manner as possible. Remember, it needs and deserves to be appreciated. If it weren’t with you, you may not be here right now.

In your first few exchanges with your ORM, focus on connecting in a civil and appreciative manner. Don’t try to force an agenda, instead focus on being in its company in a grateful, loving, and accepting way.

Have a pad of line-less paper and a pen handy when doing so, and allow it to share any feelings, concerns, doubts, or worries that it has about you or anything else. Just write them down; no matter how critical or condescending they may seem, bleed this fear out of you by writing them down.

Why are we doing all of this? What’s the point?

As a result of it being innocently misled, we can have an aversion to the ORM. Truthfully, though, you will not be able to achieve the success that you deserve as an author until this is healed and able to support the desires of your DAW.

Doing the above constitutes the first of many steps we will be taking together to do just that.

Hope to see you soon!
