We have to be willing to come apart at the seams, to be dismantled, to let our old ego structures fall apart before we can begin to embody sparks of the essential perfection at the core of our nature.

Don’t you love how everything is conspiring to unearth more and more of you? Your job, your lover, the government, people with wildly different opinions than you, your body, your family and ad infinitum, these are the ultimate conspirators.
Yes, E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. is designed to help you emerge fully.
Your boredom, frustrations, and joy are all equal partners in advancing your life. The only difference is how much you feel these and other emotions. The more any of your experiences prompt a response from you, the greater the opportunity for you to heal and evolve.
Notice how adopting this perspective removes any temptation to run, avoid, tone down or sugar coat your experiences?
Why? Because, if you always know that life is about becoming a purer version of you, what is there to resist? What is there to run away from or avoid?
Oh, yeah. Sometimes embracing more of yourself can pose a challenge. It’s hard to jump on board with this unearthing business if you aren’t sure how inherently lovable you are.
Coming to terms with your self is a messy process ONLY because you were taught that sharing all of you could put others’ love at risk.
We are now being re-schooled to understand that the opposite is true- NOT being all of you is risky.
Like it or not, we are fortunate that this era is helping each of us get bloody honest and true with our self. One of my favorite articles speaks to this topic from the vantage of intimate relationships. Relationship as a Spiritual Crucible by John Welwood. While John speaks only of intimate relationships, I want to propose that:
Being willing to let our hold on life unravel allows our truest self to emerge so that we can begin to live life as a spiritual crucible. This is how we will transform our individual lives and our planet.
Obviously, there is a lot to explore here. I’ll be exploring this topic in several posts in my weekly Sunday ezine and Here. Be sure to stay in tuned with the conversation.
In Sunday’s ezine, I’ll be exploring three principles that help us to live seamlessly.
- Forget about finding “the spot” Many of us exert a lot of energy trying to finding or creating “the spot” where we will be free of loneliness, disappointment, despair, or fear.
- Heal Here Allowing the messy parts of your self to come to the surface enables you to see what you are now ready to heal.
- Create Here What if you accepted, welcomed even, the opportunity to intentionally step into a life that blurs the lines between birth, death, giving, receiving, intimate exposure, peace, sovereignty and unity consciousness?
