Let It Go and Start Living
“Healing is our return to Love.”
The more I walk this path of healing and transformation, the more I understand the states of the spirit, which I call the states of the Heart.
The states of the Heart are peace, joy, love, and freedom. Most of us spend at least half of our lives chasing external things with the promise of acquiring these states.
I will not be the first or last to tell you that no matter what you achieve in the material world, whether it’s a sexy spouse or millions of dollars, you will not necessarily experience those states. This realization leaves many in despair and depression.
The chase for things is the business of the egoic mind, which is purely attached to the body. The more we are attached and identified with the body, the further we are from the Heart-Spirit. We live in a split state.
We are not our bodies. We are not our thoughts. We are not our emotions. We are not our behaviors. These are identities we adopt early on to fit in, survive, adapt, and become somebody. Healing is a process of unbecoming, and it takes courage to un-become because it involves death.
Have you heard the expression “Die before you die”? It means letting the ego die over and over.
Ego death is a process of letting go of the limiting beliefs that define you, the emotions from your past that you justify, the values that are not yours, and the deepest illusion of all—that we are separate. The ego structure is the idea of separation, and there is just this body and nothing else. What a terrifying idea! No wonder so many live in fear.
Now, I can see many questioning me: “Alex, how do you know there is more than our bodies?”
I know.
I can’t convince you of that. I can’t teach you that. What I can do is help you walk this path, and you will find your way back to your deep Heart, where you will find all the answers you seek. It is a solo journey for all of us. We get helpers like teachers and coaches, and yet, it is a solo process.
Today I had an insight about another reason I devote my time and energy to healing myself and helping others to heal.
We don’t heal just to live in peace; we heal so we can die in peace.
Die before you die. Let those grudges go, forgive yourself and others, do that thing you always wanted to do, say “I love you” to your children, love everyone.
If not now, when?
We all have this secret belief that we will live forever, that we will have a long life. Nothing guarantees that we will wake up tomorrow. This isn’t dark; this is truth and gratitude. I am grateful that I have today! Do the thing you want to do, and don’t let fear stop you.
Fear is not real. It is not real because it is made by the ego mind, and anything the ego fabricates is not real. This is why only Love is real. Love is Source energy, the energy that created us. We are Love, and anything else is an illusion, according to the teachings of A Course in Miracles.
This resonates as truth for me because the more I release what I am not, the more Love I experience, because there is nothing else.
Don’t take my words for it. Get curious. Start letting go and see what happens. Your Heart will open, and life becomes incredibly beautiful. Take a chance—what else would you rather do?
Much love, Alex.
