Letting Go

 

Now that you watched Samadhi, and have read or are currently reading The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle, you are left with a sense of self, but how do we find the self? 

Well you don't have to "find" anything. You have to remember you are the self. You are your soul, and you need to align your soul, in order to find the present. 

How do we do that? Well, we change our lifestyle, and learn a simple truth. You are your soul. Simply noticing that you are aware of your thoughts, and your feelings you can find the space between the thoughts, and settle your soul in the present. 

How do we become aware?

Well you already are aware if you came back to this blog. You recognize that you are thinking, and feeling things. You are also ready to be in control. 

How do you stay aware? That's a better question. You remain aware, when you stay in the present. 
Think about it, the past is gone, and yet often times we dwell over what happened. It triggers emotions, and that's all you become. The mind has taken control. The future hasn't happened yet, why worry about the future? Worrying is never going to change the outcome, and all you are doing is putting out negative thoughts. (Law of Attraction). Things will never get "better" for you if you continuously live in the past, the future or both. 

You need to shift your focus to the present moment, focus on that. Live your life through that, and just be. Once you do that everything comes naturally. You can align your soul, by daily meditation, and remembering to find the space in between thoughts, the space between moments and the space between words. In that space you will find stillness of the mind, calmness between your mind and body. By letting go of negative emotions, and thoughts you align with your soul and just be. 

Inside all of us, there is an I am, presence the essence of you. It is who you truly are. You can align by daily practice of meditation, a healthy diet, and by slowing down and living in the now. Accept thoughts and feelings for what they are, but surrender to it. Accept it as what is. If some situation creeps up in your life, don't dwell and worry over it. Stop living in the past and the future. Life is all about the now. You will never get another moment like this again, why waste it dwelling or worrying? 

The foundation to all of this lives in soul, and it's your soul that Eminem's music connects to. It's the soul that hears the message, because it's calling to it. The best way to think about it is that the lyrics opened the door, and now it's time you stepped through the door to become. 

You are being, and when you truly are being, that's when good things happen to you. Your Tarot readings work better, your zodiac readings, you start receiving things from unexpected places. Your life just falls together? Why? Because you are happy, you are whole, you are complete, you are a soul connected to the source, the all and when you put out good vibrations, guess what, you get good things in return. 

You need to remember you are a soul, you have to be that soul, using your ego as a mask on the outside world. You have to take both pills. Live in both the Matrix and real world, at the same time and observe. 

Whatever your mind is telling you is you, you need to stop listening. You are not your pain, your emotion, your suffering. You are not your life situation, and your life situation is not your life.  You are a soul, and you need to align your soul, and meditate every single day to remember that. Meditate by finding the space between your thoughts, the still calmness, when your mind is quiet and yet you are still aware. 

Stay in the present as much as you can. If your doing a specific task, than focus on that task, and you become aware of your thoughts. You can "choose" which thoughts are good, and which belong to thought patterns we've learned over the years to keep us prisoners in our own bodies, held captive by our minds. 

Let go of the past, let go of the future, focusing on the now. As you do that let go of negative thoughts and emotion that have no purpose other than making you suffer. This isn't something you fight, but you can over come it. You will always have pain and obstacles in your life, but surrendering to them and accepting them as they are you are taking charge, and removing suffering from your life. 

What do you get by aligning your soul? 

Happiness. True happiness. A type of happiness that whatever happens to you, you're not even going to care. If someone walks out of your life and rejects you, you are not going to dwell on the pain of it, you will not allow yourself to suffer, but allow your light to continue to shine. Happiness is the constant in your life, and nothing and no one can shake your world. You are on top, and it feels great and you no longer care about the external world. What others think of you doesn't matter, because you know who you are. You are a soul, connected to source, the all. Connected to everything in the universe that's not man made. 

Align your soul, by letting go of negative thoughts, and emotions. Accepting them as they are and surrendering them into nothing. In other words, observe the thoughts and feelings know what they are, feel them but don't allow them to control you. 

Ever been in a toxic situation? An argument so deep that it spirals and spirals until it's out of control? While in the middle of an argument your mind races, and produces negative thoughts which feed the emotion and what happens? You get angrier, and angrier at this person, and the angrier you get, the more negative thoughts come in, and they make you more angry and so on and so on. You become trapped within your mind, and allow it to take control of the situation. 

By aligning your soul, you'll still feel anger, you'll still recognize it, but you won't act on it. You will recognize it, ignore the thoughts, continue to love yourself, and your life. You will remain happy and unbothered by the situation, while the other person if they are unconscious will have a complete melt down over the situation. Let them be, move on from it and enjoy your being. Accept what is. 

In this situation, this person whoever they might be is not good for you at this time. That doesn't mean that it's over forever but at this point in time, things are done. Why dwell? Why fret? Why chase? What can they offer you that you don't already offer yourself?

The person may return if they are meant to once the air has cleared. Or they might be gone for good, but you made the choice to accept what is with the situation. You chose your happiness over suffering, and you shine for it. 

That's the most important thing, letting go of negative thoughts, emotions etc. Don't allow your ego to control you, instead you control your ego. 

Fighting, bickering, and arguing all come from the ego. It is power hungry, and it is exhausting to keep up with. Living through your ego, is not living at all. Allowing fears and worries to consume you, stops you from trying new things. Thinking you are this personality alone, hinders you from knowing the true self. Your soul. Wear the ego like a mask, but be your core essence, your I am, the soul. 

Once you remember this, than everything becomes easier, and most importantly, you become truly happy, balanced, and at peace.
