It's funny the many ways that our minds shield us from our True Nature. Who we really are—and just how powerful that is—is an unknown unknown to the mind, so it creates concepts and stories instead, that it hides behind.
There's nothing malicious to this, it's just minds doing what minds do, but until these stories get brought out into the open and questioned, they will generate the framework on which all our decisions are made. They're why we behave the way we do.
Which is what brings people to me.

A client recently was procrastinating on taking the next step with their business. Faced with the unknown, the Client Ego Construct 📦 was in weighing-up-pros-and-cons mode, and they were getting nowhere.
Eventually, on the call, they reasoned their way into a semi-comfortable conceptual place of probably being able to sort out any unforeseen problems that arose, if and when they did. That's what had got them this far, after all. They were actually pretty good at it.
(I had to agree.)
Because that's what Innate Health/Universal Mind/Wisdom is all about, isn't it? Being able to handle stuff? Responding, rather than reacting? Being able to manage whatever situation arises, without losing your head? Not being afraid of any experience? That's what the quote at the bottom of the emails says, yeah?
Hmmm.
🤔
The Client Ego Construct 📦 didn't like what it heard next… initially, at least.
I asked, with genuine curiosity (because I wanted to know the answer):
“What if you can't handle stuff? What if it's a shitshow and problems are beyond your ability to ‘sort out’? What would happen then?”
There was a silence.
A long silence.
The kind of silence where a keen eye can perceive layers of story falling away, in front of it… kerthunk… kerthunk.
The kind of silence where a keen ear can almost hear the whoosh of fresh new thought—of insight—rushing into the system, like an unstoppable wave.
A wave that (eventually) brought a little smile.
“Oh. I'd still be ok, wouldn't I? I hadn't realised that, until now.”
A deeper level of okayness
There's something about our True Nature that literally transcends time, space and matter. Something about who-we-really-are that cares not one iota about things as trivial as ‘circumstances’ in the world of form.
Who-we-really-are is there before all that stuff.
When we talk of Innate Health, we're pointing to something much more powerful than being resourceful enough to ‘sort things out’; something much, much deeper than the ability to fix circumstances in a way that ego doesn't like, into a form that ego does like.
That stuff's small fry to your essential Being.
Because who-you-really-are is pure consciousness itself: the witnessing of it all.
It's a deeper level of okayness that you simply cannot imagine, and yet you take it with you, wherever you go.
