Letting go of the past, cutting
cords from it and moving on is NOT abandoning a part of you. Letting go doesn’t
mean that you ruthlessly cut off ties with your past and bury it under the
carpet. There is no intelligence in remaining stuck in the past and giving it
your lifelong allegiance under a misguided notion of support and love. To
forsake your present and your future for the past; is it an intelligent choice?
To dishonor the present in order to validate the past is foolish. And are you
empowering your past personality by remaining with it or just feeding the pain
and hurt and remaining in a vicious cycle which goes nowhere?
The past remains there and must
remain there. There is no point in carrying the burden wherever you go just to
feed a false notion of love and support. It is not always necessary to
understand the past. The key lies in healing, forgiveness and assimilating the wisdom
it brings but it doesn’t make sense to live the trauma again and again. Allow
it to rest in peace; to set it free from your expectations of what it could be;
to free yourself from guilt and regret. That part of you remains in the
continuum of time and space but it doesn’t have to dominate your present. Bring
the present to light, validate its existence.
Evolution is forward. No phase is
better than the other. The past served its purpose but now it must be let gone
to honour the present. It is time to move to a new pasture and sow seeds for a
new garden. The same patch of land no longer serves you and it is ok to leave
it there. There is infinite space to grow. A canvas can only be painted once.
Painting the same canvas again and again doesn’t create a new picture; it just
spoils the original and makes it look ugly. Don’t try to rewrite the past; get
a new canvas and paint a new picture- a picture which reflects better choices
and expresses who you are more beautifully than you did in the past. You have
the colours; use them well.
Love and Light!
