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 search to understand the deeper meaning behind an event. While
this search often yields results, there also comes a point in the search
when 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 as a result of letting go. Or maybe, they
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 and the
result is 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. We can see it in terms of karma, a
past debt we have been able to repay, 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.
