00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Good morning boys and girls, welcome to the Progressive.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Just wanted to speak to you today about your choices in life and how to access and grow from your own individuality,

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:25,000
your own individual self, the light of your individual self rather than whatever you have been brought up with as your family, your culture, your society, wherever you live in.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:35,000
How to go beyond this? Well, there are a couple of blocks that you might immediately face which I want you to be very keenly aware of.

5
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Pay attention to this because it will be vital in determining your course and what you end up doing as a result.

6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
First of all, you have to ditch the idea of role models.

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
The earlier older energy used to work in the form of role models.

8
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Role models in society may be heroic figures, heroic figures in the politics or in government or it might be actors in movie, in cinema or it might be famous people, known people.

9
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:20,000
It might be even Einstein, it might be your favorite scientist or your favorite person in your life, your uncles, your aunts, whoever you consider your role models.

10
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Be careful of taking that on too much. Personally, I would suggest don't take on any of it.

11
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:37,000
But as you grow up, you are kind of influenced by all these people that are role models or you take them on role models in your life.

12
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:49,000
I want to become like this person. I want to become like that actor or I want to achieve that level of success or I want to have their lifestyle or their money or their success and so on and so forth.

13
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:58,000
The whole list can go on and this keeps changing. Your concept of role models keeps shifting and changing throughout life anyway.

14
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
As you grow and mature, you will shift your role models.

15
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000
But going from one role model to another role model seriously defeats your own uniqueness. Why do I say this?

16
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Well, if you keep taking on role models kind of working and being in the world or playing and creatively engaging in the world, you are taking an already established idea and already established way of being of some other person and copying it and pasting on to your life.

17
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Well, that straight away as you can see defeats your uniqueness there. What are you bringing to the table as the unique human being among 7 billion people?

18
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:58,000
You are very unique. There will be never a repetition of you. So you and you are here trying to kind of spend time and your energy in just copying somebody else's theme of life or what they are trying to achieve or how they are doing it.

19
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:09,000
In fact, that's more critical. How are they going about it? What is their style? What kind of things do they do? What is their body language? What kind of language or diction they use?

20
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:20,000
All of these things you take on unconsciously because the human mind and the human energy field is like a sponge. It kind of takes on everything else which is around it.

21
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:35,000
The more you tune yourself to one person or a whole set of people, even if it will be in your friend circle in the earlier years, you will kind of tend to take on them as I want to be like this person or be like that person.

22
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Be very careful about doing that. You might want to see that thing as good or this kind of person as good and that's it. Don't take it as role models because you end up taking their energy field.

23
00:03:48,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Your goal, if at all you want to call it that, it should be to access your uniqueness, not take on the concept of role models as an external factor. Why?

24
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Because the energies on the planet have shifted now. It's no longer about copying other styles of living or other styles of doing and living and working and being.

25
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:29,000
It's about you bringing your own unique talents to the table. You have unique talents. If you say, I don't have any unique talents, well, it's because I suggest that you might not have spent enough time accessing that.

26
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:45,000
You need to spend time with yourself, with your own being, sit with it, reflect on it, sit silently and reflect on it. What might I bring which is unique and access that uniqueness above all things.

27
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Be careful of all kinds of programming. People say you should be like this. You should be like that. You should become such and such a profession or professional or you should be talented in this and that.

28
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:09,000
People can give suggestions. There's nothing wrong with people giving suggestions, but you taking it on as yes, I have to do this. Yes, I can become this.

29
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:22,000
May not be always the correct path for you. And this is why I suggest even going to a good Vedic Astrologer and checking out where you shine, where you belong, kind of working with them one on one.

30
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:30,000
It's not just important to get a reading on anything. It's important to work with them and understand where this is going.

31
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:44,000
If you are the captain of your own ship, if you are the captain of your own ship of life and where you are taking your life as think of your life as a boat as a ship and you are in charge of it.

32
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:58,000
You are the captain. You have to steer your own boat in a particular direction. How are you ever going to achieve that level of satisfaction because that's where satisfaction and contentment really lie for anyone.

33
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:08,000
It's in steering your own course of life. And if you are taking the advice of the captain of another ship that this is where you should go. This is how you should be doing it.

34
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Then you are taking the boat of your life in the same direction as that captain was headed. You will not discover new territories of life.

35
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:29,000
You will not discover new lines, new ways of being. And this new energy on the planet since 2012 and onwards is promoting uniqueness above all.

36
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:38,000
You've got to work with the collective. You've got to work with all the people in your generation. Yes. And you automatically have that in you already. Yes.

37
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:50,000
You have creativity. You have compassion. You have this by default and you work very well with your teammates. But remember you are here to bring your own unique flavor to the collective.

38
00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:02,000
You're not here to just take on everybody else's flavor because this kind of approach of taking on other people's energy is going to very quickly make you feel dead inside.

39
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:17,000
You feel dead inside. You don't feel that you are bringing anything else. You need to bring something of your own uniqueness. That should be your goal or your focus in life every single day.

40
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Where is my uniqueness today? Where do I bring this person that I am and whatever this new day is bringing in my life and how do I go from there?

41
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:40,000
That should be your focus because in accessing your uniqueness, you will feel that thrill of life. You will feel the joy of life. You will feel the joy of being alive.

42
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:50,000
You will feel a sense of aliveness as you try to uncover your own truths and then it can mean number of truths. You can do number of things.

43
00:07:50,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Let nobody tell you that you can do one thing and you are here for that one thing. That would be really unwise. You are not here to do one thing. You are here to do 50 different things all at once or change it every other day.

44
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:17,000
But you've got to keep up your barometer as the thrill of life. Are you getting the thrill out of life? Are you getting the excitement and the joy out of your own creations?

45
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:27,000
That will be the sign that your body will give you. Your body will tell you whether you are finding thrill, you are finding action, your brain will generate juices.

46
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:41,000
You will find more creativity like springing forth from inside your body and you will want to carry that out. For what? Not for generally changing the society or changing this or that but generally feeling the thrill of life.

47
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:54,000
You've got to work from the place of thrill and excitement because those are the things that your soul is bringing forward to you for you to see and work with and enjoy with.

48
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:07,000
So this is where work and play kind of become blended in your life. If you start working this way without any role models, without anything, just think of them as all are humans as equally as you were.

49
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:19,000
If you think that is a fact, every single human doesn't matter which guru it is or which teacher it is or what role model you take on. They are all just equally as human as you are.

50
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:27,000
They have just decided to chart their own course and get the thrill out of whatever they are doing or whatever they ended up believing in.

51
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Be careful of beliefs. Be careful of taking on anything as I believe so and so. I believe so and so. Beliefs are just your thought structures which are fixed in nature.

52
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:49,000
You want to take comfort in them. Those are your comfort zones. Every single time a human being takes on beliefs, remember this, it is going to be shattered.

53
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Your beliefs are not what you are here for. Your beliefs are not what your soul is come here to live as. So there is nothing to do with belief.

54
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Life energy as I spoke of in other podcast, there is nothing to do with beliefs, nothing to do with ideas, nothing to do with concrete structures of any kind.

55
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000
You are here as a flow of life. So you must learn to go with that flow.

56
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And one of the key things you've got to delete out of your brain is all these things that you have taken on as role models.

57
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Don't let anybody be your role model. You be your own role model. You try to outlive yourself every single day.

58
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,000
You try to build upon your own stuff what you created yesterday and try to make them better.

59
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:44,000
You are trying to always like rekindle your own internal fire, so to speak. You are rekindling your own fire of creativity.

60
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Creativity is like a fire in your belly. It needs to rise. It needs to shine by itself.

61
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,000
It doesn't need permission of anybody for you to sit and shine wherever you are in your life.

62
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Your creative energy and your self expression and your self worth will come as a result of you trying to engage your own sense of self worth,

63
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,000
your own innate sense of creativity, your own innate sense of well-being. That's where well-being comes from.

64
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
That's where good health comes from. That's where your joy comes from.

65
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:29,000
You are trying to be able to ignite your own soul into complete manifestation as in you are bringing from you to the outer world.

66
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:42,000
If you are a piece of fire, a soul fire, all you are trying to do or your soul is wanting you to achieve in this life is to have that burn the brightest possible

67
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:57,000
in the most joyous way possible, in the most illuminating way possible, you are bringing that forth for everybody to see and for you to see and enjoy that.

68
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:06,000
One of the things you need to remember whenever you start shining like this, you will attract a lot of people around you.

69
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:16,000
You will attract radiance, you will attract connection, you will attract me different kinds of people, may be different to the ones you took on before.

70
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:25,000
It's important for you to remember this because then this radiance will be magnetic. It will be attracting all kinds of people around you.

71
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:42,000
That's your sweet spot. That's your energetic sweet spot. You need to be, work and do from that kind of a spot in yourself because that will feed you.

72
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:50,000
That will energetically feed you, it will nurture your mind, it will nurture your heart and you will feel alive and you will be healthy.

73
00:12:50,000 --> 00:13:04,000
That's how you need to live your life. This is the best way possible. On a daily basis, just to work with what is the greatest possibility for me today.

74
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:15,000
What is the greatest point of existence that I can tap into today? Where is the lightness today? What feels light to me today?

75
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Light as opposed to heavy. Let's try to ask questions in this direction. What makes me feel light? What would make me feel joyous? Truly joyous.

76
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Because most of the time the way we are brought up tends to cover it up. In all kinds of you have to, like you have to do this, you have to do that, you have to be responsible,

77
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:53,000
you have to have to, the endless list of had to that we have in this culture and every other culture in human civilization that covers up that light as spoke of, that covers up your internal fire.

78
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Essentially, if you want to access your internal fire, you've got to break out of all the family dramas, you've got to break out of all the relationships, you've got to break out of all the role models or roles that you take on.

79
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:19,000
People take on roles and just become entrapped by them. Remember, roles are nothing but roles. Doesn't matter who you are. You might be called an engineer, doctor, lawyer, accountant or something in profession,

80
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:28,000
or you might be called a brother, a sister, a parent, a mother, a father in role. Those are just roles. They have nothing to do with who you are as a soul.

81
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:43,000
As a soul, whatever you bring forth could be only that which you know to be uniquely you, that which ignites your fire, that which ignites the internal eyes that you have.

82
00:14:43,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Your internal eyes see everything very clearly. You need to access that level of clarity. That should be your target. Your own internal level of clarity and awareness, if you want to call it that, should be such that you don't need to ask another person.

83
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:17,000
You will go beyond doubts that way. Going beyond doubts is what your working style, being style should be in this world.

84
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Because if you're going beyond doubts, then you're really going beyond anybody else's teaching or preaching. Anybody else's learning or unlearning that might be offered to you.

85
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Lots of things will be offered to you by the way of education, by the way of being, how to be this and how to be that and how to achieve this and achieve that.

86
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Good ideas, but that's all they are. They're just ideas of other human beings. Your thrill and excitement is going to come from where? It's going to come from inside you.

87
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And that's what you're going to tap into. Using astrology like Vedic astrology is just a tool. Remember that. It's nothing more than a tool.

88
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:08,000
You can have other forms of access as well, but spend time accessing this first. Do this as a first way of approaching yourself.

89
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Don't directly jump to things, some bandwagon of ideas or some bandwagon of choice of other people's roles and responsibilities and say, I want to do this or become this in my life.

90
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,000
That would be a very unwise thing for you to do. I'll tell you that straight away.

91
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:34,000
So think about this, reflect on this and if you want to get in touch or see this podcast in your language, see the YouTube for subtitles.

92
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Take care. Be awesome wherever you are. Shine and be awesome.
