Letting Go Is Letting Go of a Thought PDF Print E-mail

Letting go seems so difficult at times, but whatever we are trying to let go of is already gone. It's in the past, and life has moved on and is bringing something else. All that's ever really left to let go of are our thoughts about something in the past. Letting go naturally happens when we are just here now, in the moment. The Now is free of the past, unless we bring the past into the Now through thought.

Thought is the only thing that can disturb the peace and contentment of the Now. Even a shocking event is here only briefly and then gone. The only way a terrible event lives on is through thoughts about it. We may be dealing with the effects of such an event for a while, but the loss itself is over. Every moment provides plenty of resources for dealing with the effects of a loss, and those resources will be much more accessible if we aren't caught up in negative thoughts and feelings about the past.

You will also receive Radiance, a 50-page ebook, which describes how to experience the Divine in the world in simple ways by being present.

“It might seem like the mind is experiencing the moment, but the mind only experiences its version of it. In a sense, there are two possible experiences of every moment: The moment as experienced by the Self and the moment as experienced by the ego."

"We have everything we need because all we need is love, and everyone has an unlimited supply of that. Not everyone feels love, but it’s always there and available to give to others. The way we experience this unlimited supply of love is by giving it away. That’s counter intuitive, which is why it may seem like there isn’t enough. When you believe you need to get love from outside yourself, that sense of lack stops the flow from happening from inside you. The belief in needing love becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy: You believe you need it because you aren’t experiencing it, and in trying to get it, you fail to give it."
