Defeat
There is no awakening without defeat. Because it is unto the cracking, unto the breaking, unto the shattering that the light can seep in.
If you do not hit the bottom. If you do not fall into defeat. If you do not let go and let in with your arms up in the air waving in absolute and utter yielding of all that you are, then you are still being run by the ego.
Fear
I have been there. I have intensely and intimately felt so much fear. It has rocked me to my core, it has squeezed my heart in a vice, it has viscerally ensconced me in a shroud of darkness.
But it was there to be healed. It was there to be released. It was there to move through and let go once and for all. There were so many moments where I had to face my fears and sit with them and be with them and hold them.
Busyness
But there is a reason for that. We are staying busy on purpose. Because if we stop. We have to feel. We have to be honest with ourselves. We have to address what keeps chasing us. We have to face our fears, our hollowness, our underlying subconscious limiting beliefs that haunt us.
If we stop we have to face ourselves. Our whole selves. Even the darkness within that is begging to be healed. That is begging to be seen so it can be released.
And that is scary.
