What I Don’t Care About

What I Don’t Care About
your thoughts, feelings & emotions

And I’ll also add: your points of view, I don’t much care for any of those either. 

Does this feel like it hits a little hard? Let me clarify. Last week I slipped a phrase in my newsletter, the term “infinite being”. It’s the best language I have to capture what you and I actually are. You, are consciousness, and as such you have no beginning or end. In the space of consciousness, everything - absolutely everything - exists. It’s soup to nuts rainbows all the way to pedophiles! I know, I know, that’s something you don’t want to consider, but when you wrap your mind around the fact that we live in a polarized, everything-exists (like it or not) world, it gets a little bit easier to navigate. Then true choice can come from a space of total awareness. We can also choose where we want to show up within this reality system – or decide whether or not we show up at all.

Now begin to contemplate what being an infinite being might actually mean to you. In my world, it means I’m basically a walking, talking weather system. I am aware of most everything I need to be aware of. I am free to be who I am. I trust my perceptions and I can receive absolutely everything – even what I conclude as “good” and everything I conclude as “bad”. 

Acknowledging myself as an infinite being also means I’ve had to get really real with myself about my own pontifying mind. Becoming an excellent observer of thought has lightened my load considerably (thank you meditation). And from there I came to the realization that once my own mind was managed, my ability to perceive what other people were thinking, feeling and emoting skyrocketed. And of course, as an empath, I also became subject to what was going on in their physical bodies. It wasn’t but a short leap to the conclusion that our thoughts, feelings and emotions are just noise. That’s right – I am disrespecting your thoughts, feelings and emotions. And I’ll challenge you to consider that 1) The thoughts, feelings and emotions that you hold dear aren’t yours at all. An antidote? Ask, Is this mine? And 2) Your thoughts, feelings and emotions are not your identity nor are they important to your being. In fact, without your thoughts feelings and emotions, who could you be? What could you accomplish? The possibilities are endless.

So, what do I care about? I care about what lights you up. I care about what you are creating. I care about what you are grateful for. I care about your art. I care about your pets and loved ones, I care about what you’re exploring. I care about what and who you actually are, underneath the heaviness of your thoughts, feelings and emotions. 

There, take that thoughts, feelings and emotions. xo
