Relate to so much of this. The both/and of the inner experience. I like most your question, what would it take for me to trust my higher self. Out of all the questions you posit, that is the one that I have struggled with the most, I think, because I have so often questioned the timing of my life. For me anyway, what it takes to trust my higher self is simply letting go of it Having To Know. Just live. Live in truth, try to live in and honor spirit, and know that the rest will come as it's supposed to. It's not easy to believe that every day, but knowing or trusting that it will come eventually...that has gotten easier this year. After so much frustration over it. Too much. Maybe that was the gift? Getting pissed off enough that I learned to let it go finally. If I figure it out I'll let you know!
Ooo yeah, you said it. The “what would it take” question just might be “it would take a full emptying out of all the anger and frustration”. Getting to the point of being so desperately sick of the negative experience, that you are finally ready to let it go and see what else is there. Speaking for myself, it’s unbelievable how I’ll hold onto a negative pattern even when presented with a peaceful alternative. I’m learning to give myself space and grace and permission to revisit. Leaving the density isn’t always as desirous as it sounds. There’s a tradeoff or a compromise or something to be surrendered in the process. Sometimes we’re ready and sometimes, frankly we’re not and it feels more “right” to stay in the small self. Thank you for reading and commenting so honestly!!!
Thank you for sharing your “self” so openly. I’m responding with a passionate “yes”! I join with you in this incredible space of Spirit. I remind myself to just return my attention there: the glass is not just full, it’s overflowing and abundant.
Thanks, Bob, for such a joyous response! I’m so glad this post stirred some passion. I needed to get out of the “why” of the mind and into what is the actual thing that I seek? This post is what came out of that. I had a feeling others might be able to relate.
Ah, the "and / both" of this earth walk. Yes to all of this. And this year it all feels a bit like its flip flopping between the smallness and expansion and connection quickly or even happening all at once. Thanks for this share Julie. Not surprising is was exactly what I needed to hear this morning.
I’m experiencing “all at once” or at least it feels that way. Haven’t most things sped up considerably lately? I can’t keep up. But then I don’t think we’re supposed to. Just give in to the (speedy) ride!
