501-05 Letting go
Hi Everyone,
The words "letting go" are a favorite catch phrase used in a variety of ways, for a variety of purposes, but I will start with this idea first.
As you begin to empower yourself, there is also a sense of loss. As you let go of the old imprints, programs, beliefs and denial, you will also find yourself letting go of people, places and things. This is the difficult part of the process as it's letting go of all that we have ever known in our life, and to now go into the unknown, a world free of denial, self-sacrifice, self-hatred, conditions, Guilt and Shame. Weve never done this before, it's all new and frightening and it will, I guarantee it, bring up all your fears and issues. But at the same time, I can also guarantee that you will be filled with a newfound sense of freedom, empowerment, knowing and excitement as the journey unfolds and you begin to see what is false and what is real. The old world beliefs, based in denial are crumbling.
It's much like Columbus (by the way, I was on the Pinto) leaving the old world where people believed the Earth was flat yet knowing that their beliefs were wrong for him and "letting go" of their beliefs and also of them to sail to the New World. But the BIG difference on this journey is that now you are not only letting go of the belief that the Earth is flat, you are "letting go" of ALL beliefs that are based in denial and conditional love. To move into the New World, we now have to be symbolically "re-born" so to speak, to become like a child, innocent and free of the rules, limitations and beliefs of conditional love.
Love, Light and Life

Re: 501-05 ?Letting go?
Yes, but "letting go" to embrace what is the thing I've been asking lately. What are we replacing the illusions with? What are we looking past the illusions to see? Is it one of those things that we overly-complicate? Is it one of those things where we learn to see everyone as brothers, and then realize just how powerful such a thing is when before it was nothing but a shallow cliche? Is that what is meant by seeing the true reality of things? Is there something paranormal/supernatural about it? Does it mean developing psychic abilities and having visions? Does it mean learning how to talk to God? For what? What is it God has to say? And how do we know we're not just replacing one set of illusions with another? How do we know what is real once we've actually found it?

Re: 501-05 "Letting go"
Welcome to the Heart Centre anarchist1. I hope you enjoy your stay here.
I see by your post that you’re questioning your beliefs and that is key to finding your truth. Now that you’re becoming aware and are asking questions, you’re also aware that the beliefs you have no longer apply. Like I said in my post, this is where confusion reigns as you “let go” and move from one awareness to another.
Love and Light

Re: 501-05 "Letting go"
But is there danger of apathy setting in? Of developing a "who cares" attitude towards life. What is the difference between apathy and simply living in the present? I don't just want to develop the belief that, yes, the world is all an illusion and leave it at that. I want true freedom from the illusions. To be able to manifest anything I choose into my reality. Will simply practicing detachment allow me to do that?

Re: 501-05 “Letting go”
With Apathy, you are either living in the past or the future. You either long for what has passed or that which you desire to come to you in the future and have resolved yourself that your fate is fixed and sealed and that you have no choice. You also live in DENIED fear, judgment and expectation. You, being alive in the present moment, may be conscious of your present experience, but that doesn’t mean you are “living” in the moment. You cannot be in the present moment unless you have dealt with your real issues, fears, judgments, and denial that you have any doesn’t change the truth that they exist. When we are truly in the present moment, we create the reality we desire.
The world itself is not an illusion per say, the illusion that I’m talking about is all the imprints, programs and beliefs that we have about the world, life and love. Stripping away the old beliefs opens the mind to new ideas to create the world we desire. To be free from all illusions, you must be open to challenge all beliefs, because the beliefs you still cling to, continue to limit you and create your reality.
Detachment as some believe is not enlightenment, but rather denial, willlessness and apathy. Most consider detachment as closing the door on a particular issue. De-tachment implies there is attachment and where there are attachments there are judgments, programs, beliefs and issues that need to be faced. When one has lovingly dealt with their issues of attachment, one replaces attachment with connection, judgment with compassion and denial with acceptance.
