Story-Me

"Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story instead of the actor in it." (Baba Ram Dass). Story-Me is the short form of “make-it-into-a-story.” It means taking an episode from your life, something memorable because of the emotions attached to it, and creating a story around it, a narrative that doesn’t part with the facts of the situation, but one in which you observe as a witness instead of as the main character, or the one being done to. When you Story-Me, you take your experience to a different level. We are talking about an experience with painful memories, healing them by changing our perception. How different things appear once we change the lens in the viewfinder! Story-Me uses intuition, psychic abilities, creative abilities. Everything is used; nothing is made up. We use the experiences of our lives to create a new story. Meanwhile, in the process of creating story, we are removed from the center of the action. We are outside, looking in. We begin to see ourselves as a “character” in our own lives. When you are able to create your life as a story, you are beginning to see your life as an art-form. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of Story-Me, the way it alters our perception, is the way we are able to change our view of the past. The past is not unalterable, written in stone. The past is a moveable beast, shifting with the currents of our present. The facts may stay the same, but the story is all in the telling. As we move into the accelerated evolutionary pathway, the telling of our stories has never been more popular. This flowering of story-telling is certainly no accident. The more we can story our past experiences, the more we will be able to create the story of our future. It will be a story of the soul, and soul lessons. Something that takes our self-understanding to a whole new level. The whole point is to go deeper into our experience, remembering who we were in order to know who we are.
