RADICAL SELF-LOVE

Evon DavisFollow Your Bliss

Michelle in Red DressMy mission is to help every person become more self-empowered I a way that is deep and grounded, centered in oneself and not dependent on anything external. I am particularly interested in the archetypal energy of the warrior-goddess. Although this energy is primarily incarnated in women, it is also important for men to learn how to interact with this kind of powerful energy that brings out his own strengths.

In a year where we may very well see the first female president of the United States, it is time for all women to embrace their full power and embody it, allowing it to guide our lives, choices, and relationships.

I know from personal experience that it is possible to move out of pain, trauma woundedness, addiction, co-dependence, depression, and a dis-empowered state into the present-moment joy, creativity and resourcefulness of being radically self-empowered.

I spent years battling depression, alcoholism, causing chaos in my relationships, and courting financial disaster because I didn

Unbending Intent Leads to Freedom

Evon DavisCreativity

WarriorUGoddess“Two basic qualities of warriors: sustained effort and unbending intent.” (page 194, The Fire From Within by Carlos Castaneda)

My intent is to study the works of Carlos Castaneda and live the principles to the best of my ability. The goal of the warrior is freedom. Although that word “freedom” seems a bit vague.

What is freedom? That is a concept I will explore as I write each entry. Right now I’m thinking of it in terms of freedom from the past. That means we become new in every moment. The past doesn’t have to define who were are. We can learn from it, yet not be forced by conditioned patterns to continually repeat the same unconscious habitual behaviors.

Discipline, as in “sustained effort and unbending intent,” is not the same thing as habit. Discipline is behavior we choose consciously; a habit is behavior we repeat unconsciously. The difference for a warrior is that choosing consciously makes one free. Habits, or unconscious behaviors, are imprisoning.

The second area of my life where I am looking at the concept of freedom is my relationship with the material world. I’ve mentioned a few examples in earlier posts. Another way I’ve seen myself change over the years is in relationship to books. I used to collect books. They were part of my identity. I wanted people to see: “I’m the kind of person who reads a lot and I read intelligent books; therefore, I am an intelligent person.”

But over time, I found myself moving around a lot. I got tired of packing and hauling my books all over the place. Plus, when I wanted to leave a soul-deadening job and follow my heart, I couldn’t afford to fund my book habit so I gave it up and found that I could get more than enough information for free from the library and internet. So I stopped clinging and let the books flow through my life. It was incredibly liberating.

I’ve also stopped caring whether or not people think I’m intelligent.

How to Be a Warrior Goddess

ShadowLightWarrior-GoddessLesson #2: A warrior goddess chooses to believe.

One of the most difficult spiritual lessons to learn is about “choosing to believe.” In Tales of Power, don Juan taught Carlos Castaneda that a warrior chooses to believe. According to this teaching, a warrior goddess is capable of holding all possibilities in her mind at once, then choosing one to believe and acting as if it were true. He also taught that a warrior goddess lets go of attachment to outcome. All outcomes are equal for a warrior goddess.

For someone who is not yet a warrior, or who has just stepped on the path, this paradox can be mind-bending. How do I choose to believe in a specific outcome and act as if it’s true and at the same time let go of my attachment to that outcome? It sounds like a contradiction.

I think of it sort of like a bell curve with the chosen outcome at the top and all other possibilities as a range, like a bell-curved spectrum.

The reason why this seems to work best for me is because I can hold in mind my ideal or “chosen” outcome and move toward it, believing in it, and acting as if it’s true, while at the same time, entertaining other possibilities, especially the ones closest to my ideal outcome on the bell curve.

There is dignity in turning one’s back on petty dramas created by those who feed on pain and crises.

There was a time in my life when I was like a leaf in the wind, blown around by forces outside of me. I was living from a victim mentality. I didn

Visualize Your Dreams Come True

Evon DavisManifestation

Treasure MapFocusing and setting intentions are essential to goal achievement, and one way to do this is to create a visual representation of your goal or a “treasure map.” In this fun, playful workshop, create a display board with lots of colorful images that can help you see very clearly your life’s vision.

First, envision your dream life, then trust your inner child’s creativity and intuition to form a map that will lead you toward manifesting and attracting your most passionate life dreams and goals. Even if you’re not sure what you want, your intuition can guide you through this free-flowing, brainstorming activity. Leave with your personal treasure map, and related resources, to pursue the manifestation of your goals. Evon Davis has taught the Law of Attraction workshop at CFU for seven years and has found that treasure mapping makes the law of attraction even more powerful.
