The Direction of Intention

68.

Join me in inspiring truly powerful people. Each day I will add a new thought, story or idea to support your quest and mine.

I call it the story-you-tell-yourself-about-yourself,

The Toltec call it the dream,

In some ancient stories it is represented by dense fog,

Recently a friend called it the smokescreen,

And then – and this is my favorite – she called it the garbage layer.

You are looking at the world through your garbage layer. I am looking at the world through my garbage layer. You will project your garbage onto me as I will project mine on to you. If I invest in blaming or indulge in the idea that you are responsible for how I feel, I am peering through the thick clutter of my garbage layer. What I see has nothing to do with you.

The garbage layer is the part of us that requires cleaning. It is the cleaning that leads to awakening or greater awareness or presence, but first you must recognize that you have a garbage layer and that you are interpreting what you see through your garbage.

There is a powerful transformation possible when someone recognizes that they are not their garbage, they are merely seeing through it. Distinguishing between “the-one-who-sees” and garbage layer is a big first step. “The-one-who-sees” has the capacity to let the garbage go.
