“If you aren’t centered your consciousness follows whatever
catches its attention.” - Michael
A. Singer The Untethered Soul
Letting go in the moment is so much easier than unwinding
the pain train that was exalted in a moment where we chose the fear over
letting go and remaining in our seat of centered consciousness. Remaining in our seats of centered
consciousness relies upon an awareness that there is something observing our
thoughts, emotions and feelings.
Once aware of this higher self within oneself we can begin to “witness”
those energetic bodies that are moving through us. While drinking or using we are at the mercy of the drug and
when we first get sober our survival instincts run the show…. When is our next
meal? How long before this meeting
is over so that I can have the temporary relief of a cigarette? When do I get to go to sleep? Slowly, slowly as we come out of the
haze we ride the pink cloud for a while and soak all of the love of the
fellowship and the strength and wisdom of our sponsors. But then there comes the time when
through the 4th,5th,8th and 9th
steps we begin to dredge up the stuff that’s been living dormant at the base of
our being, weighing us down. We
have spent so long pretending that this stuff doesn’t belong to us or simply
hiding from the world. We think to
ourselves, “if anyone gets to close they will know that I did these shameful
things and think I am a bad person.”
But the truly dedicated seeker goes through a very messy time in their
journey. For some this can last
years and others just a few months – it really depends on how much and how
deeply we have stored this stuff.
It also depends on how honestly and willingly we work on ourselves
through spiritual principle. This
stage of our evolution can feel very dark and confusing and yet it is
absolutely a necessary part of our journey, a right of passage through to the
higher realms of being. So don’t
be afraid to get messy, anyone who is truly evolved in consciousness has walked
through their dark nights. When
this stuff starts to come up and out, it is as important as ever to find the
seat of centered consciousness within yourself and stay in it… stay identified
with it. Tell yourself over and
over in the moments that challenge you that make you want to jump on the
exhausting pain train of whirlwind emotion, “I am not my thoughts, I let go, I
am not my thoughts, I let go, I am not my thoughts, I am not this pain, I let
go. This too shall pass, I remain
centered in the seat of my soul and allow the flood of emotion to move through
my open heart.” Start to practice
this and you’ll start to feel empowered and free like never before. Love Out!
