As long as you remain tangled in the trance of
unworthiness, you will inevitably postpone fully being here, and continue to
place the burden of your unlived life on those around you.
Look carefully and see how the orphaned pieces of your
body, of your heart, and of your nervous system continue to appear as your
partners, your family, your children, your friends, and even as the colors in
an erupting summer sunset.
As you slow down and turn back into the aliveness within
you, the invitation is to dare to see that you were never unhealed, that
nothing is missing, and that by infusing your immediate experience with
presence, with warmth, and with kindness that you can re-author the story.
You can go back into the surging feelings, emotions, and
sensations that the old narrative has safeguarded you from, and see, finally,
once and for all, if you still need to be protected from the raw, naked
activity of life, of love, and what it truly means to be a sensitive,
vulnerable, awake human being.
Not after you clean up your past, not after you feel safe
all the time, not after you heal all your wounds, not after you find your
“soulmate,” not after you manifest great things, not after you replace the
hopelessness with hope, and not after you find answers to all your questions.
But now.
Honor the role that the dream characters have played in
your life until now – the unlovable one, the unworthy one, the broken one, and
the failed one. You need not go to war with these ones. You need not send them
away, practice aggression toward them, heal them, or let them go. For they will
let go of you when they are no longer needed to protect you from the aliveness
of your own heart.
