It's in your Nature

Supposedly, all the answers to life’s riddles are right in front of us—in our own “backyard.”  I believe they reside in our nature.  If we could simply stop resisting who we are, we might just discover the combination lock that liberates our soul from its prison of repression.  One’s nature is a quality of being and expression—an intrinsic response to our existence.  The nature of a butterfly is vitally different from the nature of a snake.  Both are being true to themselves and couldn’t trade places if they tried. Yet we humans attempt to homogenize ourselves and swap natures as if they were costumes.  But, more than just an outfit, our natures are built into the very fabric of our being.  Consequently, it’s really painful when we deny our nature and attempt to live a life counter to our core.

            We often spend years trying to override our nature. We think that someone else’s nature is more desirable and try on their essence like clothing that’s the wrong size and style. We put ourselves through contortions to fit into that attire because supposedly it’s better than our natural self. To walk a path contrary to our nature only leads to unhappiness and struggle because we’re out of synch with ourselves.  We give others the power to judge our nature which erodes self-esteem.  

            Our nature is designed to be the optimum channel for the soul’s expression in this lifetime. So it must celebrated.  Otherwise we live a life of censorship—our natural tendencies locked in a straightjacket that suffocates the psyche.  We can’t obliterate our fundamental nature. 

            I’ve had many dogs, each of them with an individualized nature, even though they’re all the same breed.  Their particular spark of Divinity in this lifetime carries its own signature, not generic to the breed. Similarly, siblings may come from the same family but each have strikingly different “natural” responses to their upbringing.  We’re not meant to be homogenized. It’s not self-loving to fight one’s nature. The mandates of the tribe that lump us together and override the very flavor and spice we individually bring to the human soup must be overthrown by the commitment to honor our individualized nature. 

               It’s in my nature to talk to people, serve, philosophize, dig deep, theorize, obsess over astrology and metaphysics, hunger for the truth and be fascinated with the process of transformation. It’s also in my nature to need lots of fun time, be a homebody, play outside,  be intense—futuristic— sensitive—analytical, play music, crave animal companions, be a moonstruck night owl under the magic of the stars and to desire change.  I’ve often fantasized about leaving my counseling work to do something completely different, like run a B&B, a coffee shop, an import business, a theater company. In attempts to abandon my nature, these fantasies have filled me with wonderment. What would it be like to trade in my texture for another kind of fabric—a different quality of life?  But endeavors to reject my nature and follow the lure of these daydreams inevitably result in a dead-end feeling—as if I had just stepped out of my body and was trying to replace it for another.  I end up surrendering these prospects to an acceptance of who I am and what I came here to do.  There truly is no other course.

              I’ve always admired people who get up at 6 am, are competitive in sports, scientific, physically handy,  savvy in cities, introverted enough to spend long hours alone without craving companionship, mellow ...all the qualities that aren’t me.  Then I remember the importance of honoring my true nature—to see the way that it shapes my life as a gift—not an obstacle.  I’m grateful for who I am. 

             Are you being true to your nature? Are other characteristics of being seductive to you? Can you accept who you are— what you came here to do? What qualities naturally emanate from you? Are you introverted, extroverted, upbeat, serious, a risk-taker, relaxed, ambitious, laid-back, funny, sweet, probing, active, passive, steady, bouncy, wild, conservative, wacky, scientific, artful, boisterous, pensive, silly, talkative? There are endless nuances of being that shape the human condition. Individually we reap the rewards of color, form and expression when we employ our natural inclinations to direct our soul’s essence  

             How do we discern the difference between our true nature vs. protective characteristics acquired as compensation for wounds? Perhaps we learned to put on a happy face as a child because we were taught to bury our pain.  So we became a jokester. Others perceived us as light and playful. But maybe our true nature is sensitive, deep and serious. 

            We need to explore the energetic feeling accompanying what we assume is our nature.  If the energy is forced or heavy, coupled with internal emptiness, pain or longing, then we’re probably caught in a synthetic nature created by our psyche’s defense structure for emotional/spiritual survival -- compensation for not feeling loved for who we are.  All judgmental programming of our disposition must be released in order to unearth and heal the wounds beneath this artificial nature. We’re aligned with our essence when the energy is strong, focused, clear, uplifting, affirming—with just the right “click” that declares our natural groove.  

            We each have an individually appointed Divine nature that is a playground for exploration, creativity and augmentation.  When we allow our nature to inform us of our path, we then live a life that is spiritually authentic.  The Universe then responds in gratitude for our willingness to embrace the quality of our essence with increased opportunities, ease and joy-filled showers of support. 

             The Tibetan’s golden, loving, wise, playful nature radiates in all directions as he teaches:

            Human nature is a composite of millions of threads of light woven into an overall matrix. Each individual carries one of these exquisite threads—a golden strand of uniqueness that must be honored through full embodiment.  Everyone has a particular nature that is specifically endowed with a quality of energy, light, love and sound to represent the soul’s special expression for this lifetime.  Although self changes throughout life’s journey, this unique, precious, differentiated nature endures in its essential quality. 

            Humankind is working hard to prevent the extinction of various animal species.  Likewise, the Masters are dedicated to forestalling the possible extinction of certain temperaments, manifest by humankind, that are integral to the Divine Design. Consequently, everyone has a responsibility to openheartedly embody their essential nature, strongly establishing its place within the patchwork quilt of the human condition. If self fights his/her nature, then it starves/atrophies and is in danger of becoming extinct. Without that one exquisite thread, integral to the Divine Plan, humanity’s great tapestry unravels.  It’s imperative to preserve and strengthen self’s particular nature.  Self is the only one who can guarantee its continued existence.

            Perhaps the soul has painfully endured the starvation of many lifetimes imprisoned within an imposed false nature.  This resulted in the loss of deep spiritual connection that fostered a blindness to the exquisite uniqueness of the soul’s timber and its importance in the orchestral symphony.  Then the soul’s distinctive quality of sound could not be heard.

              Everything that you want from others is an extension of your own nature. Don’t ask others to embody your tone. It’s impossible to really know self when you project who you are onto others.  Take back the pieces of your makeup by erasing all the external obligations about the way you’re supposed to be. Then quietly allow self to listen, see and feel the inherent quality of energy that holds your personal Stamp of Divinity. Follow the mystical path of your uniquely individualized cast and its tremendous impact on the overall human composite.

            Sound the Divine Chord intrinsic to self’s being. Self’s essential nature rings like a bell. It cannot be negated. Explore all of its evolving facets.  Persist into the heart of the magnificent quintessence that is self’s Soul Autograph. With full commitment, create an external life that carries this nature forth through the earthly world. 

            To unequivocally embrace one’s nature leads to profound inner peace.  Claim it! Probe its bottomless pith. Expand through it. Artistically portray it in daily life. The natural path of alignment with self’s Divine Texture magnetizes happiness, spaciousness, freedom from judgment, unconditional love and the generosity of spirit that gives everyone the permission and  inspiration to bask in their exceptional being.

Essence and Alchemy $6.99 An artisan perfumer reveals a lost art and its mysterious, sensual history. For centuries, people have taken what seems to be an instinctive pleasure in rubbing scents into their skin. Perfume has helped them to pray, to heal, and to make love. And as long as there has been perfume, there have been perfumers, or rather the priests, shamans, and apothecaries who were their predecessors. Yet, in many ways, perfumery is a lost art, its creative and sensual possibilities eclipsed by the synthetic ingredients of which contemporary perfumes are composed, which have none of the subtlety and complexity of essences derived from natural substances, nor their lush histories. Essence and Alchemy resurrects the social and metaphysical legacy that is entwined with the evolution of perfumery, from the dramas of the spice trade to the quests of the alchemists to whom today's perfumers owe a philosophical as well as a practical debt. Mandy Aftel tracks scent through the boudoir and the bath and into the sanctums of worship, offering insights on the relationship of scent to sex, solitude, and the soul. Along the way, she imparts instruction in the art of perfume compositions, complete with recipes, guiding the reader in a process of transformation of materials that continues to follow the alchemical dictum solve et coagula (dissolve and combine) and is itself aesthetically and spiritually transforming.

When the Spirits Dance Mambo $11.99 When rock and roll was transforming American culture in the 1950s and ’60s, East Harlem pulsed with the sounds of mambo and merengue. Instead of Elvis and the Beatles, Marta Moreno Vega grew up worshipping Celia Cruz, Mario Bauza, and Arsenio Rodriguez. Their music could be heard on every radio in El Barrio and from the main stage at the legendary Palladium, where every weekend working-class kids dressed in their sharpest suits and highest heels and became mambo kings and queens. Spanish Harlem was a vibrant and dynamic world, but it was also a place of constant change, where the traditions of Puerto Rican parents clashed with their children’s American ideals. A precocious little girl with wildly curly hair, Marta was the baby of the family and the favorite of her elderly abuela, who lived in the apartment down the hall. Abuela Luisa was the spiritual center of the family, an espiritista who smoked cigars and honored the Afro-Caribbean deities who had always protected their family. But it was Marta’s brother, Chachito, who taught her the latest dance steps and called her from the pay phone at the Palladium at night so she could listen, huddled beneath the bedcovers, to the seductive rhythms of Tito Puente and his orchestra. In this luminous and lively memoir, Marta Moreno Vega calls forth the spirit of Puerto Rican New York and the music, mysticism, and traditions of a remarkable and quintessentially American childhood. “Viva Marta Moreno Vega! With honesty, humor, and love, she relives her coming-of-age in Spanish Harlem—the highs and the lows—eloquently documenting how deeply rooted West African cultural traditions are in her rich Puerto Rican heritage. Marta Vega’s memoir makes me want to mambo.” —Susan Taylor, editorial director of Essence and author of Lessons in Living From the Trade Paperback edition.
