The identity behind “I am Christine”
An interview with Christine Jones
-
The first thoughts that come to my mind is the concept I first learned from Neville Goddard's book, The Power of Awareness. He says in part, “I AM is a feeling of permanent awareness - the very center of consciousness: …I may forget who I am, where I am, what I am, but I cannot forget that I AM.”
Neville continues on to say, “It is I AM’s concept of itself that determines the form and scenery of its existence. Everything depends upon its attitude towards itself; that which it will not affirm as true of itself cannot awaken in its world.”
To put this into my own words: we actually determine our own identity. If we allow ourselves to look beyond the labels and roles that we accept or assume for ourselves, we will come to understand that ________ (insert role/label - mother, partner, employee, caregiver, etc.) is not our identity. It is not who we are.
We just ARE.
And, if we just ARE, then what we choose to focus on and identify with, will ultimately determine who we are BEING. And who we are being is seen as our identity.
So again, I ask the question, “Who do you want to be…?”

The words “I AM” are a powerful declaration. They should not be treated lightly. Whatever words follow I AM should always be deliberately stated.
I think of Dr. Masaru Emoto and his work around the effect of words and intentional energy on the structure of water crystals. And, if our bodies are 60-70% water, then, based on his findings, words and intentions have a tremendous influence on the health of our bodies, minds and energy.
I AM Christine says to me, I am sovereign, I am me, I am whatever I choose to be and choose to become. I exist beyond what is outside of me, my value and worth is not determined by anything or anyone. I am an extension of the Divine. I AM DIVINE. I am pure consciousness at my core essence, and so is everyone and everything else

Learning that my parents were divorcing when I was 4, and my first “role” that I remember assigning to myself was ‘protector of my little brother’
When I realized I had a gift with my intuition. And the first of many times that I chose to ignore it…
When I found myself at the top of a freeway overpass with a decision to make. And then finally coming back to feeling like myself again years later. I decided that I loved myself exactly as I am, flaws and all, and that I didn’t need to be perfect. I decided to just be legitimately happy to be ME!!
When my last pregnancy unexpectedly ended at 17 weeks, and my doctor sent me to an abortion clinic for 3 days in a row to prepare to have it removed - and how my judgement, envy, and anger for the women around me in the waiting room each day evolved into a TREMENDOUS love and empathic/intuitive understanding of their hearts and their heartaches. This experience changed me, and my heart, to my core.
When I realized that no one else was responsible to make me happy. It was MY job, and I made a plan to make it happen.
When I knew I needed to divorce, and I knew I would be ok
When I realized that I had been living in a fog from allowing other people to determine who I should be
When I read some of my Dad’s journal entries after he passed away, and I was heartbroken to realize that he never felt like he was ‘good enough’ or ‘measured up’.
When I discovered the teachings of Dr.Joe Dispenza, Neville Goddard, and many others that taught scientific principles around the power of the mind, and supported my foundational beliefs in love and agency
The truth I ultimately accepted about myself - I am who I decide to be.
I have the capacity and ability to be whatever I decide. I don’t have to live within limits that others or I have placed on me, or that I have previously accepted. I can learn anything. I can change anything in my life (my personal reality) and in my personality. And I love people right where they are at in their journey. I feel them. I love them. I help them to elevate through love and without judgment.

I want her to find herself thinking, “I finally have the permission, that I actually never really needed, to unapologetically be my most authentic self.”

We are each more powerful and capable than we allow ourselves to believe. I know that if we will be brave enough to look past what is and what has always been, that there is a clean slate of possibility, magic, and blissful happiness that is found 100% within ourselves, and our self-concept.
The more we realize that the roles and labels that we identify with have absolutely nothing to do with our actual identity, the more we start to wake up to what is POSSIBLE! We keep ourselves stuck, caged, and tethered, when, in actuality, we have the keys and the scissors all along.
We just need to discover the courage to wake up from the illusion we live our lives within. It is time to De-illusion our lives. It is time to get “delusional” (more on this later, with my first book, the Delusional Imposter)!

Women tell me that they instantly feel safe, loved, accepted without judgement. They feel empowered, encouraged, confidence, and they usually leave my presence with some action steps toward their goals, a better understanding of their own authority in their own lives, and often, a feeling of relief that they aren’t as stuck as they had initially felt.
Because I am a highly intuitive empath, I can quickly feel, learn, and understand what is blocking someone. I can discern what it is they are looking for in their lives. I easily recognize, and bring to light, patterns that come up over and over, and help them come up with creative ways to disrupt those patterns to start getting different outcomes in their lives.
Being a highly intuitive empath also makes it so easy for me to love deeply and without judgement, because I can feel people at their core, beyond their pain and self-imposed limits.
One thing I will say here though, is that although I am highly empathic, I don’t have the energetic bandwidth to help people that are not quite ready and willing to help themselves. If they are not ready to grow, I still feel a great deal of love for them, and I encourage them in their personal journey. I respect their agency and readiness by not trying to “convince” them to change or evolve, and quickly send them love and move to those that are ready for that. I cannot allow myself to care for someone more than they care for themselves. It deeply drains me and depletes me. This is a lesson I have learned the hard way MANY times, and I have to protect my own energy in this regard. With that said, ANY progress and growth that a person makes in their own evolution brings me great joy and adds to my energy!

*What do I want for her?
I want her to get to know herself deeply, to be herself unapologetically, and to trust her own judgement and intuition.
*What do I want her to know?
I want her to know where her worth actually comes from, I want her to know that she is ‘the boss of her’, I want her to know that she is SO much more capable and powerful than she ever previously thought she was. I want her to know that SHE gets to decide who she is and what her life looks and feels like. I want her to know that happiness and fulfillment come 100% from inside of herself. It is NO ONE else’s job to make her happy and fulfilled.
*What do I want her to stop doing forever?
I want her to stop wasting her life being somebody that she isn’t!! I want her to stop blaming people, situations, conditions, etc, for her lack of fulfillment and happiness. I want her to stop living within limits. I want her to stop putting herself last in her own life!
*And what do I want her to start claiming without apology?
I want her to start claiming that she is worth becoming her favorite and best (FAB) version of herself. I want her to claim that SHE decides who she is and isn’t. SHE gets to say. She can learn anything. She can do or be Whoever she decides to be.
SHE GETS TO DECIDE WHO SHE IS, WITHOUT APOLOGY.
