Seduced by Deception: Abby McDonald Pulls Back The Curtain.

Do you find yourself repeatedly being seduced by glamour, “bling”, slick talk and deception? If so, I’ve got news for you; you’re living in an ILLUSION.

The world we live in is filled with grandiose promises, “magic pills” for overnight success, transformations, “get rich quick” schemes and the list goes on and on.

This is not a conversation about material wealth ’cause there’s nothing wrong with desiring wealth in your life. What it is, rather, is to explore the part of you that is sold strictly on appearances, not substance. . .the part of you that gets seduced by the first person who crosses your path and flashes a diamond at you.

Look, no one likes being duped by deception (it really is a yucky feeling,) but let’s dig a little deeper into this topic, ’cause things don’t “just happen”. We must take responsibility somewhat for having a part in this.

Here are 3 Reasons Why I Believe We Invite These Experiences in to MANIFEST:

1. The first thing that comes to mind is that on an unconscious level, you believe that you are unworthy of your good and so you resonate vibrationally with the “Slickster” that crosses your path to support your belief within. The magnetic draw is so powerful when two parties that meet fulfill the needs of one another. Thus you set yourself up for a “let down” in the process to reinforce this old belief pattern that is no longer serving you, AND the Slickster walks away drawing from your energy, giving them a false sense of superiority. Mission accomplished. Meanwhile you’re left feeling like you got played.

2. I believe that it is this addiction to live in FEAR, Illusion and Deception that prevents the Authentic Self, the “real you” from emerging. It’s almost like there’s an inner struggle within between your ego’s false wants and desires and your spirit’s truth. To simplify, it’s like the ego is having a temper tantrum against your spirit, saying, “NO, my way is better.” Thus the inner strife ensues, affecting your vibrational frequency and creating your unsettling experience.

3. A lack of self acceptance comes to mind as well, where you’ve convinced yourself that you must go outside of yourself to attain things to enhance you, thus giving you a false sense of security and validation while masking the “Authentic Self”.

All of these false inner beliefs create anxiety and disharmony within you because your spirit knows the TRUTH about who you really are. . . yet you won’t surrender. Thus the battle ensues.

It’s painful to admit as no one likes to be naive or be made a fool of, but making peace with this part of yourself and forgiving yourself gently is a necessary step to releasing this karmic pattern.

This is a conversation to empower you by facing your TRUTH so that you can allow the “real you” to emerge, ultimately leading you to a more fulfilling life.

I believe that all suffering results from living a FEAR based existence. The fear of your own light, your own power, your own truth. Yet we convince ourselves that external things empower us.

I’m now convinced that most of the struggle we have in life is between seeing illusion vs. TRUTH. Choosing to worship the deception of the physical realm vs. the truth of the spiritual realm in our minds.

For all of my “truth seekers” out there, if this topic is striking a cord with you and you can relate, don’t be ashamed, we’ve ALL been there, including myself. The best advice I can give to cease this pattern in it’s tracks is to honor your TRUTH, that still voice within you that says, “Turn left,” when in the midst of a Slickster.

Follow your inner GPS, it will not fail you.

Much love,
