It is not always
for us to know, the deeper meaning of everything that occurs in our life. All of us who seek to be conscious and
aware regard our experiences as teachers, and we try to discern what lessons
we are learning from the things that happen in our lives. Sometimes the
lesson is very clear from the get-go, and other times we have to really
search to understand the deeper meaning behind some event. While this search
often yields results, there also comes a point in the search where what we
really need to do is move forward. It is possible that we are not meant to
know the deeper meaning of certain occurrences. Answers may come later in our
lives, or they may come as a result of letting go, or they may never come. We are all part of a complex system of
being, and things work themselves out in the system as a whole. Sometimes we
are just playing a necessary part in that process with a result larger than
we can understand. It may have very little to do with us personally, and
while that can be hard to understand, it can also free us from overthinking
the matter. Sometimes it is best to see it in terms of karma, a past debt we
have been able to repay in this way, or as the clearing of energy. We can
simply thank the event for being part of our experience and let it go. This
completes the process that the occurrence has made possible. To make this letting go official, we can
perform a ritual, make a final journal entry on the subject, or sit in
meditation with the intention of releasing the event from our consciousness.
As we do so, we summon it one last time, honoring it with our attention, thanking
it, and saying good-bye. We then let it go out the door, out the window, out
the top of our heads, or into the earth through the bottoms of our feet,
liberating ourselves from any burden we have carried in association with it. |
