Personal Manifesto

created by Navi and Lisa Condes, based on The Book of Love and Creation by Paul Selig and the guides


WE REMEMBER WHO WE ARE

We are not here simply to read these words.

We are here to become available to what they awaken within us.

We are here to remember.

To remember that we are more than the stories we have told about ourselves.
More than our history.
More than our fear.
More than what we have been taught to believe we should be.

We are here to meet ourselves beyond the familiar.

We choose awareness.

We become willing to see what is present without immediately judging it, resisting it, fixing it, or making it wrong.

We notice.

We listen.

We allow truth to reveal itself.

We release the need to know everything before we move.

We are learning that the mind does not have to lead every journey.

We can trust what we recognize.

We can listen beneath the noise.

We can become still enough to hear what has always been there.

We choose love—not merely as an emotion, but as a way of being.

We allow love to change the way we see ourselves.

We allow love to change the way we see one another.

We release the need to reprimand, condemn, diminish, or control.

We do not need another person to become different in order for us to stand in love.

We honor the Divine in ourselves, and we practice recognizing it in one another.

Even when it is difficult.

Especially when it is difficult.

We remember that what we perceive through fear is not the whole truth of anyone.

Not even ourselves.

We take responsibility for what we create.

Our thoughts matter.

Our choices matter.

Our agreements matter.

The way we identify ourselves matters.

And when an old identity no longer serves the truth of who we are becoming, we give ourselves permission to release it.

We are not required to remain who we have been.

We loosen our grip on control.

We are learning the difference between forcing life through personal will and becoming available to something greater.

We do not have to push every river.

We can listen.

We can allow.

We can trust.

We remember: I AM THE WELL.

What we have spent years searching for outside ourselves may already be waiting to be recognized within.

We are not empty vessels waiting for someone else to fill us.

We are learning to come home to the source within.

And from that fullness, we meet one another differently.

We allow ourselves to travel beyond the boundaries of who we thought we were.

Beyond old perceptions.

Beyond old limitations.

Beyond the belief that what we can see, touch, explain, or prove is all that we are capable of knowing.

We remain curious.

We remain open.

We do not need to pretend certainty.

We simply become willing to experience more.

We redefine help.

We do not rush to rescue.

We do not make another person powerless so that we can feel useful.

We listen for what is truly being asked of us.

And when help is ours to give, we offer it freely—as a gift, not an obligation; as love, not control.

We allow others their own journey.

And we allow ourselves ours.

Above all—

We are willing to live what we are learning.

Not perfectly.

Not someday.

Now.

In our conversations.

In our relationships.

In our choices.

In the moments when the old way would be easier.

We will question what we have assumed.

We will release what no longer feels true.

We will remain curious about what we do not yet understand.

We will give ourselves permission to change.

And we will give one another that same permission.

We are not here to arrive at the same conclusions.

We are here to become more conscious, more honest, more loving, and more fully ourselves.

So we continue.

Chapter by chapter.

Question by question.

Choice by choice.

Not trying to become worthy.

Not trying to become spiritual.

Not trying to become someone else.

But becoming increasingly willing to recognize what has been here all along.

We are here.

We are willing.

We are listening.

We are learning to love.

And we are remembering who we are.
