GoodBye to Struggle & Welcome New Earth
I feel like a true elder today, and finally accepting of it. Some part of me wants the world to take note of me, and many like me, who have been trailblazers and hard workers for inner peace for years now. We are the post war baby boomers, and have come from debilitating family structures, almost intolerable childhoods and often impossible marriages and the terribly difficult dissolutions of all of these. Leaving us at middle age apparently stranded in a world where money, title and possessions are key and most of us having very little of any of those. At first we did not understand the monstrosity of the upheaval we were entering, but as reality sunk in we knew something amazingly grand and terrifying was at hand. Now suddenly, it all makes sense and I see how we all came here to build feverishly for half a lifetime, only to give it all up but without knowing why till it was mostly over. Which truly, seems to be now. Inexplicably and impossibly! How could it be over as suddenly as it began...how can I finally deal with success! My emotional body is surging with tsunami waves, though manageable, of aftereffects. Mostly it feels like relief and joy mixed with disbelief and wonder. Nothing has even happened yet, but I can say for certain that it will. My fear is gone, and my trepidation that I somehow got myself into the wrong lifetime with no way to escape has lifted. I feel like I have done a good job, have been right all along.
I want to be told thank you, as in 'we know what you have been doing, and how hard it has been and how unsung and dark and even dangerous.' Danger seemed to lurk at every corner, mostly of falling back in and becoming unconscious again of all that is out there besides the limitations of our mind view. Then another part of me interjects and says what for, who really cares since it isn't relevant to my true being. That sentiment is more of what is leaving, what confined me in the first place.
I bought Eckhart Tolle's book A New Earth yesterday. At first I resisted as I know I have already been actively and consciously dealing with my ego self for years now, but after the worst episode of such dealing over the weekend I desisted and got it. I read it for some time, and amazed myself at the wonderful ways it explains and details exactly what I already know. More amazingly, I felt thankful that there are more terminologies than I knew about for the very same things I have been trying to define. I had a vision of the whole world being able to understand what transmuting the ego means and why it has been such a particularly difficult journey for me personally. The terror of the extreme pain-body has been mine to uplift! I could often not imagine mainstream humanity having to go through this corridor as I have done, and I know, many like me as well, many others out there I am not personally acquainted with. I have done it mostly in isolation which definitely compounded my fear levels and the level of dedication it has taken, but maybe now which offers also a balancing level of joy and love to come.
In any case, I know this part of journey is over, and I am in a bit of recovery state. Having gone through the most awful bronchitis and flu for a week, celebrated all the powerful days of easter, equinox and full moon all by myself in isolation still, this feeling is even more acute of having come through and done it! Nothing proves this except that I feel it. I feel I have nothing left 'to do', and that I am ready for retirement, for living in peace and joy and doing what I really love to do. It will be the first time ever for this kind of lifestyle for me, but I feel that is where things are headed.
Truly a day for celebration, and I wish to raise a glass and toast to all those of my generation who have been valiant warriors for peace over the past 20 years or so....To Us, and to the World, to Love and to All and to Peace and Joy...may all those who are ending their years, and all those young people who are coming in, join with us in our New Earth!
