We know that both light and dark are essential ingredients. Impossible to exist without its counterpart. We need to start applying this same birds eye view thinking to our human, emotional experience.
The Self-help, Self-care and Self-development (new age spiritual development included) field needs to take a hard look at where it is perpetuating the programming of damaging belief cycles. Perhaps it’s time to stop trying to sell and market us a better life and instead give us the tools to be in touch with our reality - whatever that looks/feels like.
It doesn’t all need to be good. It doesn’t all need to be light. It doesn’t all need to be hopeful. If now is a time for you to amplify rage. To be angry. To feel lost. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We can be and feel and experience BOTH. But we can’t BE both without seeing or acknowledging or digesting the duality. Or being in a continual chase for “better.” Forget better. Be here.
Where are you NOW? Can you be here, fully? Can you sit with yourself? Can you use your frustration, your guilt, your feeling-lost? Maybe we need to stop being told to “rise up” but instead “run through.”
No body is above visceral human emotion. Revel in it. Use it. Let it propel you.
Lean in, let go.
