The Story: What is "The Story" vs "Reality"?

We have a big challenge as humans and that is to learn to differentiate “the story” of our lives from the “reality”. Understanding this allows us to step into our personal power in order to create the life we are meant to live.

Let me explain, some people call “the story”, illusion. “The story” is what is unfolding in front of our eyes. It’s the drama, the chaos, the stress, the rat race we live in. It’s the meaning and interpretation we give to a situation, circumstance or even a person. These interpretations and meanings come from our deep-rooted programs and beliefs that often stem from either our wounds or “the” box society tried to put us in.

One thing to realize is that we experience life through feeling.

“Reality” is what is really at play. It’s the motive behind what we do and that motive is found when we use the fears, doubts, unworthiness, shame and guilt as a guiding system to look at what has hurt us.

What are the wounds that we carry deep inside are really about?

Those wounds shape our unconscious programming and belief system. This means that the Reality is what is under the wound, it’s the Truth about the situation or circumstance, not the interpretation that we gave to it that came from our wounds.

But how do we go from story to reality and reality to story?

Through feelings.

Basically, our feelings and emotions are the bridge that leads to the wounds that need healing in us. Learning to follow and understand our feelings and emotions allows us to make peace and create a new experience of our world.

This means that if you don’t like something about your life experience, you need to look at what is creating your STORY – or experience – in order to see REALITY – beyond the wound.

For that, you need to look at your feelings and emotions; there is no way out of it. The only way out, is in, hence “feel your feelings”… it’s the path to freedom!

Only then will we be able to align with our soul.
