I discovered this Illegitimacy identity in a session with Roger. I was trying to figure out why I was having so much trouble being self-employed and making money as an independent businessman. It was quite hidden from me and required a bunch of looking at the topic of independent business exchange to find it. Finally we found it in session! It was feeling illegitimate. It was being an illegitimacy! It was fear of being illegitimate.
Illegitimate:
Something that is unlawful or improper, unproven, not accepted by society as proper. prohibited by law or by official or accepted rules. Unauthorized, illegal.
When one feels illegitimate, one is in a very low place from which to exchange from. That's how I felt as a self-employed, independent businessman. I felt like there was something wrong with what I was doing.
Now legitimacy is very important in our society. People will frequently ask themselves and others if something is legitimate. This is often the litmus test of whether they will buy something or engage in an activity. For many people, natural healing is considered illegitimate and is attacked by the medical establishment as quackery (illegitimate) even though it is proven to work. Spiritual Empowerment work has issues in this area in society at large mainly because it threatens the establishment.
My case contained a large chunk of charge on the issue of legitimacy versus illegitimacy. In past ages, being falsely accused of being illegitimate was quite dangerous. One could be labeled an enemy of the state, a heretic, a criminal and punished quite severely. Even today, natural doctors have been quite fiercely attacked. Medical doctors have lost their licenses to practice medicine. Businesses who get labeled illegitimate are either marginalized or go out of business. New businessmen have a legitimacy issue they must work through. New practitioners delivering services must demonstrate legitimacy.
I have been super charged up on this legitimacy/illegitimacy issue and it was literally a blocker to my engaging in commerce. As we went through the Presence 3 rundown, I picked up all sorts of items around being legitimate and being an illegitimacy. What was interesting was I had avoided this legitimacy issue for most of my business career by working mostly at Fortune 500 technology companies. These were the most "legitimate" companies in my industry. No one would ever say to me, I've never heard of you (are you illegitimate?). Now as a wannabe entrepreneur/independent businessman, I was faced with this highly charged illegitimacy issue. For I was going against the norm and the rules by attempting to be self employed.
The session using the Presence 3 process ran out a lot of the charge I had been sitting in for centuries and millennia on illegitimacy. I continued working on this item when I returned home with solo processing. Two new items came up in the process - being qualified and credibility. In exploring the area of legitimacy, people will want to know if you are qualified, what qualifications you and your company have and do you have credibility. These are, of course, real issues but if one has charge on the areas, it becomes hard to address them.
I have made a huge breakthrough (thanks to Roger's masterful processing skills) in getting a stronger identity in place to be able to be a self employed independent businessman through processing weak, disempowering identities, in this case, the Illegimacy.
