Dear Beautiful,
When feeling lost, it is not as much an absence of direction, but an inability to be soothed and made secure by our known ideas, beliefs, and viewpoints. To be lost is about losing our way. This doesn’t mean we’ve strayed off course, but veered into the direction of a grander plan. When rooted in ego, there is a tendency to feel as if we’ve gone astray in our journey whenever heading in a direction that may differ from our personal desires. It’s not as if such desires won’t be fulfilled, but the journey required to become the one who is worthy and able to receive the grace of our desires may initially look like a path steering us away from it.
In order for new gifts of creation to dawn,With fires, mud slides, hurricanes and harsh weather clearing away outdated paradigms, many are feeling the despair of bewilderment, as known reference points get shaken up to create space for new realities, perspectives, and miracles to surface. Just as there are cycles of grief when mourning the loss of our closest friends and relatives, in our own unique way, each of us are purging the losses of our known realities, as we courageously step forward into exciting new frontiers. It doesn’t mean the things we desire are long gone, or that any degree of hope must be laid to rest. Instead, the fading away of the old is an opportunity to release the way in which the outcomes we desire most find their way to us. Whenever overwhelmed by loss, feeling unsafe without the comfort of known ideas, or unable to foresee how things can positively play out, please repeat the following mantra, either silently or out loud: “I accept I will always get everything I desire, no matter how my journey unfolds.”
the old must dissolve.
