Let Go To Grow

Strap lines, frankly speaking, get on my nerves. However, this one seems quite appropriate at this particular time, coined last night with a little divine inspiration, while messing around with The Book of Doors divination.
Around this time two years ago, a certain individual (who used to drive me up the wall and across the ceiling in a head-twisting kind of way) sat me down post a much testosterone-fuelled board meeting and said ‘Ves, this is the year you learn to let go’. If it wasn’t for the fact that his words reverberated through me like an almighty gong, I would have decked him right there. But I didn’t. Why? Because he was extremely and annoyingly… right. Damn it.
Ausar, a Neter of the Egyptian dead, while also being the god of regenerative power on account of his connection with Phi (the golden proportion), is associated with Saturn’s cycle of death and transformation. Have you ever thought about what you would take with you on your journey to the other side, if you could? Well, I highly recommend this particular thought-express. I was gently guided through this process many years ago during my first Reiki initiation, and I discovered on the second round of meditation, that the journey was a heck of a lot easier without clinging to stuff that weighs us down unnecessarily.
Our current reality is one of 3-D, or at least, that’s our perception. Ours is the life of matter, albeit moving into aether, we are still getting attached to stuff… photos, cars, even people. Most definitely people. Brass tacks, it all boils down to attachment, and often, our attachments are formed for not entirely kosher reasons; like fear of change. The trick is to recognise it. Wouldn’t life be a lot simpler if we choose according to that which contributes to our greater sense of genuine joy, rather than need, or fear?

The snake sheds it’s skin, highly symbolic of regenerative power. We experience a mini-death to rise like the phoenix from the ashes, a shinier, better, stronger version of ourselves, a resurrection if you will. Our experiences meld with our DNA, our Akash, and this is the only luggage we truly require on this particular mind-bending voyage.
I’ve been letting go of stuff all my life, while acquiring new stuff… like we all do, every day of our lives. However, today, I let go of something very close to my heart for one reason alone, because I’ve finally figured out that I deserve better.

And so do you.
