Letting Go



In the realm of thought or the false self there is no such thing as letting go. Why would "you" want to? It makes a very good story. Look at what "they" did to "me." See what "I" accomplished. Whether it is a story of victim hood or a story of accomplishment the false self does not want to let go of it. Every thought every feeling in this state is a trap to keep the story alive. We become attached to the train wreck, the carnival going on inside and revel in it!! Yet there is a glimpse of awareness that says " I want out." The false self can never get out. It can never let go, accept, or surrender anything it is attached to. The Key to freedom i that tiny glimpse of awareness. The glimpse beyond the story. In that moment, is the power to face, question, and see the thoughts for what they truly are. Thoughts and stories. When they are seen for what they are they lose their power. They begin to dissolve. That is not to say they will never come again. But, like a spinning top they will eventually loose momentum. When that happens they are the ones that let go.
