When to let go….
These times that we are living in today are very difficult. So many jobs are being lost and families are struggling just to keep afloat. It’s hard to see a bigger picture when you stay locked into old habits and ideals. The bottom line is, the old way of dealing with situations in our daily lives are no longer working for us. We must find a new way to cope with our ever changing worlds.
Greed, material possessions, egos, and perceived power over others HAS got to go. It is time to connect to your spiritual awareness and see that all things are possible when we connect to the source of the ONE. We are nearing the end of an age, we are leaving the age of Taurus and are about to enter the age of Aquarius. This cycle will conclude a 25,800 year span on Earth. If you have ever wondered how long an age is, well, now you know.
We are on the dawn of a new beginning and we can either except it and be willing to change old habits or we can go screaming and kicking. The choice is up to us, because either way, change is coming.
I’m going to leave this post with a visual impression as maybe it will help to view things in a different manner.
You fall into a deep and swift moving river. Making your way to the bank, you reach up and grasp hold of over-hanging branches. Hanging on for dear life. you struggle to pull yourself out of the river. The weight of your own body along with the raging current of the river quickly depletes your energy reserves. You feel the energy being sucked out of your body as you struggle against the current. Before long you can do nothing as you feel the strength leaving your body. Now you can no longer hang on to the branch you sought as your savior and you lose your grip. With your strength gone you slowly sink to the bottom of the river, drowning.
Your struggle with the river current had incapacitated you and you didn’t see the bigger picture. For had you expanded your awareness, you would have seen that just around the bend in the river the flow smoothed out. The river widened and slowed down. There it was only knee deep and you could have waded out. Instead, you clung to an old idea not trusting that change is a good thing. Your refusal to let go was your own undoing.
My advice in these struggling times….Let go and let the current take you to another place. Things will improve, but you MUST let go of the things that are not working. One door must close for another one to open.

Thank you both, Bob and Irene!
I’ll tell ya, life is hard enough without always having to defend yourself. I have never pushed my thoughts and beliefs on anyone and never will.
This place here, that I have created is for the sole purpose for me to express myself….I gladly except others thoughts and comments on anything I write here. I also believe that controversy is a good thing as well, as it keeps us on our toes. I have chosen to allow all comments to anything on this site, however, out side of hateful and disrespectful comments, which will not be tolerated here, everything else I will leave as it is.
Thank you to everyone that has come to my site and read my writings, and for those that have made comments. I really appreciate you all!
Very good indeed. It sounds like you were talking to me.
Letting go sometimes is quite scary, but armed with faith in oneself and that of the deity… pretty soon things will be ok.
Excellent post and it speaks also to the many issues that most people have in general. Sometimes you just have to *trust* in the outcome and let go of any preconceived notions.
I saw the post that a family member made here late last night questioning who and what you believe. I guess you hit a nerve with this post as you should of. I know it was designed to make people actually think a bit. (Man, what a concept – free thinkers lol)
However, I thought her comment was way out of line, especially when she brought up personal information and decided to slap that information on the internet in a very judgmental and condescending way. How inappropriate, sadly coming from a person who claims to be a christian.
Some people just don’t ‘get it’, and they probably never will. Just because someone tells them what to read and what to believe once a week means that all of a sudden (to them) THAT information is the absolute truth, when in fact they haven’t even began to know what is the truth from what is bogus…nor will they ever take the time to find out.
I actually feel sorry for these people. They are not willing to even discover if their so called truth is built on a solid foundation or simply a pile of sticks, waiting to crumble.
Like your family member, I shall be blunt in this next statement.
I haven’t met a so called christian yet that didn’t try to shove their proverbial crap down my throat. It’s insulting, quite unnecessary and very uncool for a group of people to think they have all the answers based on some outdated, translated/retranslated/re-retranslated book of fallacies and inconsistencies.
I know first hand how difficult the last several weeks have been for you, with the death of your brother. The very last thing you need right now is some righteous individual (a family member, no less) laying her plastic crap on you all because she “found the light” and didn’t like your use of the word “One”.
You keep writing Carla.
Never let the ‘ones and zeros’ mentality push you off track!
And remember…you don’t have to justify yourself or your beliefs to anyone. The only person qualified to ‘judge’ you – is yourself. Period.
