Noticing the things that limit this person does not lead to a celebration of this person. This is the insight that I am sitting with, looking at, remembering. Another way of looking at this is that moving away from egocentric karmic conditioning/self hate is one process, and being in the joy of Life is another process. The bucket is emptied of dirty water, the space becomes available for the flow of lovingkindness. The lovingkindness is always there and I get to practice tapping into its flow, again and again.
How to do this? How to move away from lack and inadequacy and toward a life of abundance and adequacy? One helpful tool is to write a letter that acknowledges the intention to be with Life. Write the letter, record the letter, listen and listen many more times. Here is a letter:
"Goodbye ways of being that do not serve alignment with Life. I thank you for your efforts to keep the small ‘me’ safe and alive. Now it is time for this Being called [name] to live from a process of connection to Life, all that is. There is no separation, there is absolutely nothing wrong. By practicing monitoring energy, seeing processes and paying attention to thisherenow, this expression of Life resonates with the Intelligence That Animates all. This Life form is a conscious collection of processes. Being human is a process of paying attention and trusting; dancing with Life to align with the guidance and movement from All That Is."
