In our society, it probably does but what is wrong with that, if done in a fully supported way? Does it actually take the 'breakdown' of an old pattern to create meaningful change and our own evolution? Do we have to be defiant (and bloody stubborn) in order to just be who we are? Are societal values doing everything in their path, with their associated labels and marginalisation, to consistently uphold the suffocation of self? And do we conform to this programming?
Like Marianne Williamson so eloquently says, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
If what you are going through right now feels like a breakdown, maybe you approach it in a different way. Maybe instead of operating through the hard programming of fear and resistance, you raise your glass high, look mediocrity in the face and dare to actually be different; dare to be who you ARE. Is that what this is all about?
For me it's about being authentic, and here I see a scene from the film MIB (Men in Black) and it's the alien arrivals lounge where being authentic means being different, no matter how 'weird' that might feel or look to another. It's living with, being comfortable with and embracing your most natural self. Ask either of my children and they will both say I fly my freak flag high!
Probably no one told you how hard being authentic in this world was going to be; how it would physically hurt every fibre of your being as you challenge some deeply held beliefs, examining who they actually belong to. And, as you separate out the layers of contextual material, re-assigning each to its rightful owner, you begin to reveal the real you. The you that existed at birth, before programming began, before you became someone else's blueprint.
This transformation into non-conforming behaviour can be isolating if you don't build your support network. Surround yourself with like minded souls who can echo and mirror where you are back to you and who can tell you when you're being a dick! Without good support, this quest journey you've chosen may well feel like a breakdown and not in a good way.
The practice of living authentically isn't abundant (yet) on this planet and for you to get this far in your personal evolution is no mean feat. Seriously, look in the mirror and lovingly support your decisions so far. I look around me at the highly gifted, courageous people I get to walk this life with and I'm so grateful that I am not alone.
Be assured that like attracts like and when our energetic patterns align and intersect, the gravity of intention pulls us all, inexorably, toward one another and back into the connected-ness of 'One'.
Thank you to my great support network - I wouldn't be here without you.
With love
