 Sometimes, we're faced with choices that constitute major change in our lives. Sometimes, events beyond our control necessitate change. Either way, the ensuing experience is so profound that we are forever altered. For the ego, this change feels like death - and it will put up a tremendous fight to keep things the way they were, or to recreate familiarity. However, in this case, trying to bring back what was comfortable and felt safe usually leads to making the current circumstances much worse. We simply cannot hang on to what was without doing harm to ourselves. So, if you find yourself clinging to the cliffside during an avalanche, your best response is to simply LET GO. Yes, you will feel as though you're in a free fall. It will be terrifying. You may also feel entombed for a while, buried under all the issues that the change has brought to the surface. You may need time to acclimate to your new situation - whether it's a dramatic move to a new locale, the loss of a loved one, job or home, a divorce - whatever your soul dreamt up for your next stage of growth. Trust that you will dig your way out, but don't let the lesson be lost on you. Ego death isn't about reclaiming the person you were. To die gracefully means to fully accept that the person you were no longer exists. It means embracing your new circumstances and adjusting to what is - not trying to reclaim what was. Someone wise once said that enlightenment is acceptance of the inevitable. So, consider how much suffering we cause ourselves when we try to hang on to old relationships, jobs, homes, locations, our children in an effort to maintain the status quo. We turn ourselves inside out, attempting to control the external world. Better to allow the external to dictate what needs to change on the inside. If your life is rocky, instead of trying in vain to fix what is outside of yourself, look within. Work with the thought patterns and beliefs that hold you back, that cause you to struggle with your reality. Not sure what those patterns are? An intuitive counselling session can identify exactly what is keeping you from surrendering to your path and finding true happiness. PSYCH-K can shift your belief system into one that embraces change. There are tools to help you master your life by moving with its flow - not against it. So, when great change appears, thank it, move with it, and ask for help when you need it. On the other side of ego death always lies rebirth and wonderful new opportunities. |
