DISSOLVE
I stand on the precipice of self-discovery and dissolution. The ground beneath my feet holds sturdy, yet I feel my legs tremble. Have I ascended or peered too far over the edge?
Who am I?
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
Why am I here?
Thoughts swirl around my head as I weigh the options of life and death. My choice to live deeply begins to feel like a burden. Deep sorrow rushes through my veins, stabs like a knife, and causes my soul to contract. In my desire to live I gasp for air, but why? Why love anything at all when we know pain lurks in the dark, scheming for its next opportunity to clutch at your heartstrings and rip them apart? Why suffer through the never-ending wheel of fortune and fate? Can death truly be the end of all there ever was or will be? In my heart and in my soul I know this is untrue, but what causes me to fear this assumed doom? Why do I return to these limiting beliefs?
In my effort to expand and open my heart, I am reminded of courage. To live deeply without fear, shame, or guilt takes tremendous courage. How do we tap into this reservoir of love that perseveres in the face of all danger? How do we transmute our fear into courage?
Some would say it takes faith or trust, faith in a greater source intelligence, god, or creator. For most, however, faith just doesnât suffice. For many of us, we want proof. We have to see to believe. We crave our own personal evidence, for if it isnât me who is going to protect my heart then who will?
In my journey towards self-love and compassion, I realized, we must first know sorrow before we experience beauty. It is our longing that brings us to our knees and closer to the pure and radiant light. As we surrender our limiting beliefs, we begin to invite in a new source of being. We ask for guidance and safekeeping. We acknowledge our fear, pain and suffering as a door to develop a new and harmonious relationship with our true and powerful Self. We begin to remember who we are, where we came from, where we are headed, and why we are here.
As I peer into the abyss of my soul, I accept the dissolving of my incarnated self as a means to discovery. I surrender my fear, control, and suffering to the moral depths encased by right and wrong doing. I return to the source of infinite wisdom. I trust in my intuition. I listen to my guides, in all shape and form and from all walks of life. In life and death I am one with all creation, nothing to worry or feign only greater insight to gain.
