Impulse Triggers

Random Musings: Impulse Triggers -

Exploring emotional intent to create new now moments.

Impulse is the description of the sudden spur of the moment action we take as a result of a trigger. It is often described as seemingly random action without thought. This trigger can be conscious or unconscious. The trigger can be in our present awareness or below the surface, behind our focus, the subconscious. The trigger of the impulse always has a root. It could be thought. This thought could stem from the subconscious, or an altered state. It could come from the conscious awareness of the personality but poorly explored due to many reasons. It could also come from a wide variety of emotions, emotional states, or reactions. Finally it can come from Spiritual sources. Guides, Angels, Teachers, other spirits, and your higher-self or other dimensional aspects.

As you can see, Impulse has many descriptions, definitions and origins. We know this on a deep soul level. Because of all this, people have a tendency to give into their impulses. They let the incarnate ego dive into and roll in the impulse without thought, exploration, or introspection of the consequences. We often chalk it up to human nature, random fate, things beyond our control. We see ourselves as victims to sources, causes and effects beyond us. We play elaborate games of blame, shame, guilt and ignorance while secretly desire to roll in these impulsive self destructive feelings. It's like the ego does not want to give up the illusion that our lives are so real that there may not be another perspective out there. We will only understand if we feel. Good or Bad. But it can tell you why, it- that part of you, just wants you to experience.

This desire to experience IS part of the mission of life. But it must be properly balanced with spiritual understanding. Otherwise you will not be able to understand what you are feeling, why, and how it relates to you. You will not be able to see who you really are compared to your highest possible self, unless you seek this balance from impulsive emotional behavior.

This DOES NOT mean that impulse is BAD, WRONG, or somehow an indication of WHO or WHAT you are, nor is it a sign of your evolution, vibration or state of being.

On a SOUL level, Impulse is an opportunity as a result of a trigger to come to an understanding of YOU. Can you be wrong? You were divinely created. You planed, agreed, wanted to explore YOU -LIFE, in a certain way. You are a reflection, you are a part of All that IS. Is there anyway your explorations can be a mistake? The point is not to be a victim of poorly thought of, poorly understood causes. The point is not to fall prey to crippling emotion. The point is to learn to recognize the triggers behind impulses and see what parts of yourself are in them. To then choose what of them ARE you. And then Allow your actions to reflect your highest possible self.

This process IS your state of being. Not the impulse, not the effect. Your emotional intentions while faced with such triggers which give birth to action will reflect your vibrational state. This energy, this emotional thought process will help co-create the world around you. And allow you to explore yourself in ways that are in line with your life plans.

This spiritual concept fleshed out does not mean that life will be easy, it does not mean you will necessarily succeed like you think you should, it does not mean that you will always overcome impulse. What it does mean is that you CAN be aware of the causes behind emotional intent and their effects. It means that you have the tools inside you to understand yourself and have the conscious choice to exercise your free will for your best interest.

So the next time you start to feel victim to emotion beyond your control, the next time it life feels like it's going to run away with you. Stop, pause, and look at the trigger of the action your are taking as a result of the feeling giving you discomfort. Look at the root, and try to uncover a cause. Does that cause reflect who you are, who you want to be? If not you will now be in position to change your perspective or remove yourself from the emotional center that is problematic. This will lead you to express yourself in a new "now" moment. This choice of a new "now" will be who you are. Embrace your new now. Who you can be, will always be now.
