There are three magical axioms I live by and that all of my students in Liberation Magic get to learn. Today, I want to share a really deep concept embedded in one of them.<\/p>\n

The axiom goes:\u00a0<\/span>speaking truth is the path to liberation.<\/em><\/p>\n

While it sounds kind of grandiose (and it can absolutely be applied to vast societal change, as in \u2018speaking truth to power\u2019),\u00a0<\/span>what's more practical for most people in their everyday lives is\u00a0<\/span>the ability to admit their own truth to themselves, and then speak it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This doesn't mean publishing it on social media or telling everybody you know. But it does mean being able to admit to yourself what is actually going on with you.\u00a0<\/span>And telling that to at least one other person<\/strong>, so it's no longer your secret alone, is incredibly transformative. Being witnessed in that way is more powerful than most people expect.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you about a friend of mine. She had a very successful job. It was something she'd wanted to achieve for a very long time. The kind of job that makes a mother proud, brings in multiple six figures a year, and earns genuine admiration and respect.<\/p>\n

She worked so hard to get there that it took her a very, very long time to understand that even though it was what she wanted, even though she'd worked toward it for literal years,\u00a0<\/span>the actual lived reality of working that job made her miserable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What she thought was going to be this great thing turned out to make her deeply unhappy.\u00a0<\/span>And she didn't admit it to herself for a long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>What do you mean this wasn't\u00a0<\/span>it<\/em>? And holy cow, if I don't do this, then what am I going to do? How am I going to make money? Where does my sense of identity come from?<\/p>\n

None of those questions can begin to be answered until we're able to admit to ourselves what's actually going on.<\/span><\/p>\n

When my friend finally saw that clearly and shared it with me, it was a profound breakthrough moment. It was like the Tower card in the tarot:\u00a0<\/span>the destruction of old structures that no longer serve us.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>(Some of us think Western civilization is going through its own Tower moment, but that's neither here nor there.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
