October’s Phase Ten: Realize the Reality
In October, an objective whole gelled - in your heart's mind. Situations and their relevance to life come together at once and become “life,” reflected back to you. All of life - work, family, relationships with partners, your health, where you live and its foibles...
Your heart's mind sees it all at once. Maybe you feel it in your gut and your mind gets busy with receiving it all. In the heart’s mind there is objectivity, a calm sense of the now complete whole. What arrived in September, witnessed by others, is now historic fact, a new brick added to your life story.
Objectivity occurs in your heart's mind where the phases systematically incorporates the new good, in its nubile form. In some ways, the year's work is revealed in the new arrival in September. And then in October, with the new addition, a foundation forms for the coming new permanent good.
Life emerges from the heart, both in the body and where love grows.
My heart was changed in October with the death of my sister. It came with sudden force and she was gone. In her absence, life adjusted. I was pulled into the echoing void and I had to learn a new place.
My judgment was altered during September as I got firsthand knowledge: about how cancer is treated; how someone close to me processed becoming a cancer patient; the struggle as she held life more dear; how I adapted, in pace, with her journey.
Gradual personal growth ends in the arrival in Phase 9. The facts I shared in September’s post can be summed up as, the way life received me. I became a participant in the lives around me. Judgment is what you gain in Phase 10 (as October) in your unconscious consideration of the completion in Phase 9.
In October, the reality of my position was made clear in day-by-day changes to my life. I began to show new forms of maturity not previously felt. The circumstances indicated the direction of my development as a natural order. I could ‘know’ what to expect, but there was no way I controlled the internal growth process.
Accept Life as It IS!
"Reality" as we perceive it contains the permanent and unavoidable whole of your life experience. In every situation, you live within the boundaries Life presents. What fits in is shaped by the forces of Life. A major force included is the one that makes you unique.
This system is Nature’s way of "manufacturing" good. The astonishing thing is that the ‘good’ is customized to your core being. It never fails to select for your good..
A review of significant life events from your birth onward will reveal this repeating, natural manufacturing cycle. It is the life force in each of us, "growing" you toward the unattainable "Perfect Good" your heart seeks.
Authority
As the Phases enter into the final months, good judgment built in Phases 9 and 10 anchor your personal growth in what others see about you. This is unconscious, working and regulated by your heart's mind. It happens, whether you are aware of it or not.
With the 12 Phases™ model, you can check in, see your real progress, gradual as it may be, and tune into that reality. This will help you divide between greater and lesser values in those things that occupy your time and effort. Your judgment about life improves, as it concerns your inherent personhood.
Personal growth is an increase in your understanding and acceptance of Life, as it is for you. You learn to let go of what you think life is and accept Life as the greater force. Age and experiences are the process of maturity; maturity becomes the shape of your authority. You exercise your authority from the heart, in whatever way life allows.
Authority is leadership, made out of your unique life history. What you do may be the same as others - because that's how life is - but the way you do what you do is your signature. Others may see this better than you do. Learn to use your natural gifts - from the heart.
