Walk a Sacred Path

Like a seed finding herself under a blanket of earth… who first must allow the cracking of the old safe shell… before radical new life can begin.  This means allowing for the destruction of what was… taking a leap of faith that the new things rushing in, like water and soil and light and air, will produce something better ... something worth letting go of the old for. But the seed, has no direct memory knowledge of  how to do this, or what the outcome will be.  She can either be guided by her instincts, or she can wither and eventually die.

Humans have other choices, because we get to do things over and over again in our lifetimes (and that's not even entertaining the concept of accumulated knowledge from past lives). How do you deal with coming apart?  With transitions?  With letting go?

How we deal with these things is part of our process.  Can you trust yourself if you do not know what your process is? No. Here's an example, I have witnessed in myself, more that just a tendency, to grow toward the light.  It is pretty much an inevitable transition for me.  Once I realized this was part of my process, I no longer had to ride myself so hard.  I could relax even in the face of not moving through something as fast as a mentor might want me to.  I learned how to trust myself, which led to respecting myself.

How we deal with the next phases of growth are also part of our process; how does the seed move from the  place where she has entered the darkness and it giving in to the pull of transformation?  With all these alchemical changes going on inside her, how does she know to go towards the light?  Or where the light is?  Can she feel its warmth?  What is her process as she makes her way toward the light and once there to new growth?  (By using she here instead of he, I in no way mean to eliminate men from this process.  It is just that almost everything a woman reads is specified as “he”  and it can be profound to see and hear it as “she”).
Somewhere along the way..if you want to be successful at healing and growing you will need to gain an understanding of what your process is, and along with this, develop a relationship with your intuition.  A relationship based on knowledge and trust…  can you imagine what that feels like?  We should have all grown up with these things intact inside of us, but sadly most of us have not.  Our world values have not included the growth of the inner man or woman, but only the outer… In our society when we look at who someone is, what we look at has more to do with what clothes you wear,  what your job is and what cars you drive.  As opposed to how well you fit in your skin. Or how able you are to keep your word, because you are firmly grounded in who you are, so that the promises you make... are keep-able...
