One thing I have learned throughout my 17 years on my awakening journey is to let go. And when to let go.
Everything has its time and place. Life progresses. What was right for us three, five, or even one year ago may not be right for us now.
That’s the case for all humans, but even more for us who are awakening.
The awakening requires us to let go on a whole different level. We are shedding our old skin, our old state of consciousness, and stepping into the light, into a higher state of being.
Our old reality doesn’t fit that new reality. It has no place in it. We can’t bring our old circumstances into our new reality because they’re not on the same frequency.
Individually, we have to let go of our egos to be able to rise. And collectively, we have to let go of our old structures and systems. There’s no other way.
The new earth, the new humanity, and the new paradigm we are here to evolve into and create is not an extension of the old consciousness.
And it’s not an extension of the spiritual path. It’s a different state of consciousness altogether.
The spiritual path can help us realize and reach that new state. But the destination is different from the path.
At that destination, there is no path. It’s a different reality.
We must leave the old behind to live in that new state.
And breaking with the old paradigm can be challenging. To evolve as a species, we must let go of what no longer serves us, even if it once did. Individually and collectively.
Sometimes, we must leave circumstances in the physical world we have cherished and believed in. That happens when they no longer align with who we are and who we are becoming.
When they are not, those situations or relationships tend to become challenging. They may even cause us pain.
When we outgrow our current circumstances, they usually become painful and gradually more difficult until we surrender and let go.
Out of that surrender, something new can arise.
Sometimes, people change with us and stay. Other times, they don’t. And it’s okay and even necessary to mourn our old relationships or the circumstances we once cherished. We can love and honor and still let go.
And the love remains even if we go our separate ways.
