[Though this post is directed more to an audience - I will always be writing just as much to myself as I am to others. I, too, am always learning and growing.]
Death is a beginning. It's the ending of something known for something unknown. Through death of certain perspectives, we can let go of past issues that have been keeping us dissociated from life.
A new perspective is actually all you need to anything you're facing. This a truth, as far as I've discovered, you have free will AND you already know that. You can see this when you come back to the present moment. But it takes courage to do that. A lack of interest in life simply because it's too painful or just not the way we want it to be causes us to dissociate in many different ways. It's a coping mechanism and coping is important. Yet, we don't have to cope if we know our power. The truth is there is nothing over you nor under you. Nothing greater than or less than. Literally no one or nothing can take away your free will. You will always have choice in every second of your life.
You already are everything you've ever wanted - the key is in realizing it. Why were we born into a world that teaches fear, lack, guilt and suppression of our true selves? It's hard to say. Yet, I feel that some of us do see the truth and often times we are the famous and rich of the world. We're not greater than, just more actualized...more aware of the truth of our freedom.
Through forgiveness, authenticity and gratitude - I was able to realize the truth about myself - I am free. Some might say if we took away struggle, turmoil and victimhood/powerlessness than life wouldn't be interesting. I disagree wholeheartedly. I believe that often times "the way things are" now leads the Soul to go into hiding. You live most of your life on auto-pilot. Many parts of it you're wanting to fast forward through. How sad? A waste of such precious time that is ALL yours. But understandable because you have been coping with "the way things are". You have been strong and you have carried onward. You are brave to me. But I dare others to step out onto the ledge...to push their limits and do what might feel even a bit reckless...Try on a new perspective for size.
What if....[you fill in the blanks with whatever you wish were possible but you don't think is.]
Imagination, creativity can be your ally. Art is truly food for the Soul.
The truth is, usually we are numbed out to the world, to our own lives and feelings - more so than we may even realize. When you *realize* you are free and true feelings of victimhood begin to disappear...When you die to your old self...You can begin to really live again. Because from this perspective you are safe to truly feel and be present in the moment - it doesn't traumatize you. The truth is, you will not always be in the body you're in now living the life you are living. Change will come for you whether you choose to grow or not - really that's all Death is...change. The Soul goes on forever [I believe] but our bodies are here for a time. Every moment is sacred and special - cherish it for the gift that it is.
