Discover the Foundations of Your Inherent Worth
Below all the adaptation that has shaped our self-image – at the very core of our being – we are inherently worthy. You are built from the very stuff of the shining stars. This Inherent Worth is rooted in our biology – not in our psychology of belief. We were forged that way by the very forces of evolution. As social mammalians, inherit worth is encoded into our DNA. Otherwise, the helpless beings we are born as would never survive beyond birth. They would not have been cared for, nor kept safe. But they were. And our ancestors went to a lot of trouble to ensure the next generation’s survival as you can see in the illustration below.
Why? Because the tribe intuitively and instinctively sensed the inherent worth of the child and tribe members. It was their future. It was their survival as a species. And as animals, they were driven be the need for survival – to stay alive. This trait became human instinct. And it is this instinct that I call Inherent Worth.
In Paleolithic times, each child (and by extension – any member of the group) was valuable and helped to enhance the odds of survival of the group as a whole. Each member contributed to the group effort of surviving. They were interdependent. They lived inherent worth. At this level of human development, our ancestors did not have the sophisticated psychology that we modern humans now possess. This Inherent Worth that bound all members of a small tribe was more biological than psychological. It was simply a part of being a social mammalian that existed in groups as a way of coping with the challenges of living.
This is what shaped them. Every member of the tribe was valuable – both child and adult – for the survival of the group and species. This is the stock you and I come from. This trait, now deeply embedded in our DNA, is alive and well eons later in each of us. At a foundational level, we simply are inherently worthy because humans developed that way. We carry Inherent Worth in our bones. The problem, with modern humans, is that we have forgotten or buried this aspect of our being. It is no longer our remembered foundation.
And in the vacuum of our forgetfulness, other beliefs (more psychological in nature) took root. It is these beliefs, for more adaptive in nature than foundational, that create the adaptive mask that came to define us as a human being. Reclaiming this trait of Inherent Worth is essential for developing the foundation of an empowered or intentional life. This course aims to awaken your trait of Inherent Worth, so that a new foundation for your development becomes available to you.
Inherent Worth is more than Biological
Each of us are also part of an unbroken wholeness that is the ultimate ground to our being. This is how Niels Bohr (one of the inventors of Quantum Theory) described the Quantum Field – where everything is inner connected and part of a greater whole that is indivisible. Believing that you are separate from this unbroken wholeness is an illusion. But as Einstein once quipped that it is a persistent illusion. Getting past this disconnection and reconnecting in your Inherent Worth is the goal of this course.
Mindfulness Opens the Eyes of the Observer
As part of that unbroken wholeness generated by the Big Bang, you and I are also conscious creation. This is the gift above all gifts. Humans can become witnesses to the act of Creation. And I believe what holds all this together is – Love beyond all understanding. It just IS. It is here that we claim our share of the inherent worth of Creation – however we define it.
Somehow, all of us get disconnected from the source of our being though. It is simply part of the human journey to which we are all called. And we begin wandering through life seeking re-union with this greater whole. And in our wandering, we get lost. Instead of human beings, we become human doings as our separation from the unbroken wholeness.
We forget each of us live in the infinite NOW.
Yet, our deepest identity never leaves us. But in our wandering we forget who we are at the most fundamental level. We lose our connection to the unbroken wholeness from which we all spring. Yet, “Home” is quietly calling us back. Always. But how do we connect back to our deepest Self?
Taking Back Your Birthright
You can reclaim your inheritance. We are born inherently worthy as human beings. This value is built into our DNA. As social mammalians seeking group survival, each member of a family or group unit adds value to the group. On a small group level, it is all for one and one for all.
Over time though, we often get disconnected from this inherent worth. That aspect of our human potential is often forgotten in the process of adapting to survive in the modern world. But to evolve ourselves, we have to reconnect to this invaluable part of our being.
Mindfulness Opens Your Eyes to Your Hidden Potential
You will learn to see yourself and the world through new eyes. Out of that, the world changes. Potential that you could not see in yourself (were blind to) – you now see and realize that the potential was always there. You just didn’t have the eyes to see it. With this course, you develop the “eyes” to see beyond the prison of your current comfort zone. This is awakening the Observer and the potential that it holds for you. It is the gateway that allows you to understand what makes you tick and to start working with your mindset.
