"We must learn how to be authentic in our thoughts, our words and our actions, uncompromising in the face of our insecurities and our neediness. We must hold firm in our intention to experience essence while we honor the timing of the universe which may be very different from our own. We must be aware in those moments when our fears would dictate a choice that is not authentic. We must embrace the growth and learn that we must grow and evolve into the person who can live his or her life as an expression of essence, purpose and authenticity. We must learn to be present with the truth of what is there, what we have already created without criticism, fear or judgement. We must value the truth present in each and every moment even if it is uncomfortable, uncertain or even painful. And finally we must embrace the crisis that healing often brings as the most powerful force in the restoration of our wholeness." ~ Spotted Eagle ~ on Creating with Essence

Here Spotted Eagle speaks further to elaborate on the fact that we are here to create our lives not in the way that most of us have been taught by the culture but in a spiritual way. It's not easy to let go of our fears of the future that drive us to establish a level of security vested in cars, homes, perceived wealth and other forms. Instead we need to trust that if we live our lives authentically with our desire for the experience of essence as the quiding force for the universe in creating our lives, that we can instead have a life that is spiritually rich. This is truly why we have taken on the challenge of living in this world.
