Mastering Authenticity

by Rita Rivera Fox

We are masters because we have the power to create. We are creating in every moment, and the magic tool we use for creation is the word, the words that we use with ourselves and with other people; the words that we use to describe ourselves and the world around us. Our power to create is so strong that whatever we believe comes true. But what is it that we have created? What is it that we have mastered? This question is easy to answer by simply looking at our lives. What is present in your life right now is the result of what you have mastered. Is your life filled with happiness, friendship, and abundance or have you limited your creation with beliefs and concepts that limit the flow of these things?

When we awaken and have the courage to see our lives and everything that we have created, we can reclaim our power as the creator. As self-realized creators we can take responsibility for our creation, the same way that an artist can create a new work of art. This new creation begins with honesty and by looking closely at the beliefs we have about ourselves. Once we do this, we begin to notice that the words we use silently within our own mind are the most powerful words of all, for it is with these words that we manifest everything.

Recovering the authentic self is a process of unlearning the beliefs and habits that define who we think we are in order to become who we truly are. The authentic self creates from our true feelings, and our feelings are the basis of our integrity. To live from our integrity is to know that we are choosing the beliefs we will create from, and we use the emotions as the barometer for this choice. Our emotions are the messages from the authentic self. They are ever present and always speaking to us, but we interpret our emotions through our beliefs and often judge and reject them.

When we become aware, we can see that every thought and belief has an emotional response. If we find our emotions to be uncomfortable or out of balance, we simply need to look at what we believe about ourselves in order to bring our emotions into a new light. There is no such thing as a negative emotion; it is only our judgments about the emotion that causes a negative reaction. We can learn to master our emotions by mastering our thoughts and words so that we can arrive at a newfound respect for the emotional body. Mastering new words of self-love will allow the emotional body to feel wonderful!

It is your true nature to express from love because you are Love. When you learn how to do this, you become the creator of a masterpiece; you become a master of choice. When you live this truth, every action will only produce happiness, abundance and the absolute fulfillment of who you are.

A synthesis of ancient shamanic healing and modern technique, form the heart of the teachings of Rita Rivera. Through powerful energetic healing principles she creates the environment for personal transformation and continually empowers and uplifts the spirit to facilitate the expression of the authentic self. As one of don Miguel Ruiz's original apprentices she has worked closely with him for over 10 years co-facilitating workshops and Power Journeys throughout the world, in service to actualizing the love that is our human essence.
