Letting Go of Life

At some point you must allow yourself to just be. You have to learn how to stop clinging to life and instead, live it. There is no fear needed to thrive within life. There is not a single thing which takes place where you are in control. Nothing happens by us; it all happens through us. Each bit of the universe is connected through one single source of energy. This energy manifests into things, through the illusion of separation, solely for Spirit to have the opportunity to consciously remember itself. With nothing left undone each particle vibrates into its final resting place as one. With every moment that passes by we return back to where it all started and where it continues on forever. It is important to know that the future does not exist only but in imagination, the past does not exist but in the memory.

The eternal now holds every iota of time combined together as one.

To surrender to the current moment is to be fully immersed in life. To be fully immersed is to experience life firsthand without expectation. There is nothing else that needs to be done but to simply experience life. There’s no need to worry, no need to stress, no need for anything but to love and live. Through this love you can grow into things you once only dreamt of being real, on a three-dimensional level. The mind begins to split as it tries to put the pieces of the universe together, attempting to understand it. It’s not until later that you realize there is no way to understand what truly exists. It is all beyond space and beyond time, and even with this simple statement the point is missed completely. No where you go brings you closer and no time you wait allows for anything to begin. It is all infinite, it has never started and will never end, it will never come or ever go. The mind creates all that is, and within that same mind we can observe this three-dimensional plane of things, the plane that we identify as the physical reality you witness. This physical reality is nothing more than atoms vibrating on different frequencies, generating the illusion of tangible objects.

Vibrational awareness is not created until a general knowledge of the universe comes to be. As this knowledge is learned, you begin to notice that nothing is as it was once believed to be. The mystery of the universe is not meant to be understood by the mind but instead is meant to be experienced and felt by the heart. On an intellectual level this will make sense, but in truth it is only the grabbing mind looking to ensure safety exists by creating reassurance that it knows. You can only comprehend the true meaning when you live through the actual experience; otherwise, it is simply an understanding created by the imagination. Through this experience the mind often creates fear as it cannot ensure absolute safety through the concept it created. To let go of needing intellectual protection is the only way to open the heart to the raw experience of life. For life to manifest fruitfully you must let go of the need for protection. You must be willing to let yourself die in order to fully live.

Death is the ultimate process of letting go. It is the final ability to walk forward into the unknown as if it were a black hole pulling in anything that touches it. You must be willing to press onward even without knowing what lies on the other side of the darkness. Due to the instinctual fear of the unknown, you push away from the potential danger as hard as you possibly can, attempting to prevent it from getting a hold of you and pulling you in. You prevent yourself from living life fully as you subconsciously fear that death will swallow you whole and prevent you from continuing to live your life. This creates an illusion of safety, forcing you to stay in a place that is unfulfilling, a place where you are scared to move out of. The only way out of this is to live your life to the fullest, no matter what. The fear of death ultimately comes from the instinctual desire to preserve life. This takes place to protect you, as you feel you have not gotten everything you want out of life. Only through knowing that you have lived your life to the fullest do you realize that death is not a thing to fear at all.

Through this you see that death must be accepted completely for you to live life wholly and without fear. With nothing to run from you cultivate the ability to sit and be still. Within this stillness you can connect within and work to discover your true nature. This realization will allow you to see that there is nowhere to go and no one to be. It will allow you to see that you are in fact everything all at once, happening all at the same time, in the same exact place. You are able to see that there is, in fact, no death that takes place at all, but it is instead a transition into the next stage in life.

Through life you have the opportunity to learn and grow. You are able to uncover what it means to exist and to consciously know it. Life takes place for you to experience what it means to live. This is the key to it all. This human experience allows you to understand what it means to be alive and to first handedly witness it all take place. As an awareness of this expands within you, you begin to make sense of everything without even knowing how the information has come to be. It can be classified as a knowing, without actually obtaining any new information. It is a knowing that is felt, a union to it all. Life begins to slow down but, at the same time, the growth of the individual begins to speed up; tying all of the pieces together into one larger picture that becomes clearer and clearer as time moves on. There is no right and no wrong way to go about the adventure of life. It all comes together, creating the realizations necessary for awakening to the truth of existence.

Each and every step that is taken leads you down the path toward your higher self. Every struggle that takes place and every achievement that is obtained leads you home. When you can see this, the mind seizes to judge situations as good or bad and life becomes a dance, letting you work with it as if it were the guru leading the way. There is a statement that “suffering is grace”, which to many sounds horrifically ironic, but to those who can see will notice that it is exactly that. Through every suffering-filled lesson you have the ability to observe and see what can be learned. If there is suffering involved, then there is some sort of emotional attachment connected to part of the event taking place. Whether it be the desire for a different outcome, the desire to obtain something you don’t have, the desire to get rid of something you do have, or any other sense of desire, there is always an emotional attachment that comes along with it. This is the root of all suffering that manifests in human life.

An example of this can be seen when a person does not get what it is they desire. With this, the individual more than likely gets upset in one way or another; a very common form of suffering that happens far too often. This, however, can be the case even if they do get what they want, as the feeling of accomplishment only lasts a moment’s time until the mind grasps onto the next item of desire, and within that, more suffering is created. With this simple example you can see that in any case, where a desire exists, there is also an attachment to the outcome, and an expectation of what is taking place. You can then understand that through this expectation and attachment there is always suffering involved as well. This is not to say that you should not strive for things, or to not wish to better yourself throughout life. This is to say that you must not have an attachment to the outcome of situations that take place within life. The trick is to allow for any opportunity to present itself, to allow for any outcome to take place without needing it to be one way or another for your happiness. By letting things play out however they do, you are naturally relieved from the pressure that is normally presented upon yourself throughout life.

It is imperative to see that there is nothing that you are in control of anyways. It may seem that you have control of things but in fact all things are already predetermined. The actions must take place through you, to come to the predetermined outcome.

How you react to any situation is up to you, as that is the only thing you truly have control over. Take a second to look back and reflect on previous experiences, there was no control that you had in your hands, only anxiety within your body representing the fear of the potential outcome of that situation. This came from the desire for the situation to manifest in one way or another. Now allow for yourself to put that burden down and flow with life.

See that everything is connected. When you for it all to just to be, you allow life to take place exactly how it is supposed to, creating the ability to enjoy every second of it, knowing it is all perfect. Remember, there is no good or bad anything, these are only opinions of the mind that create the illusion of good or bad through our judgement of them. The universe is in fact a neutral playing ground for you to learn how to live to the best of your ability. It is time to enjoy the life that you have and grow to your highest potential by learning from it all as you experience it. Do not be afraid to grow into everything you already are. It has already been decided.
