Good day,
I recently came across the
following excerpt from a
book
shared by a patron in the
early 70’s.
I cannot recall the name of
the book and
therefore unable to identify the author,
but this was the nugget of
truth the
book held for me. Hope you
find it valuable as well.
He comes to
realize the deeper
meaning of the
great paradox: “He that
would save his
life must lose it.” It seems to him
to be real
death… for the self, the only form of life he
knows, must
disappear, and therefore, he believes its collapse
is death. Thus, he believes he faces the end of his
life…
It is true,
indeed, that one must lose that which
seems to be
his life – the system of mistaken
ideas and values which are embodied in
his ego – in order to
really live, to
release into
life the creative,
enriching,
productive
powers of the
true self…

Some are living this
experience at this
particular time.
Shifting away from
familiarity into newness
as we are being restructured
and recalibrated
to receive higher
frequencies/vibrations/energies.
This process can literally
feel like death, and as
stated above – a dying of ego-self
-
into our higher-self.
At such time, it can be
difficult
to determine which aspect of
be-ing is dying.
Death feels real for it is
integrated throughout the
be-ing we have known as; ourselves.
Faith and acceptance
become allies during such challenges, and a
deepening
trust that new life shall be
viewed with fresh
vision and an ever-expanding heart.
Happy spring, joyous new
life!
Peace
OSOLE
