Putting
these two words together is a good reason to “stretch our rubber band”. Letting go means releasing any
material, emotional or spiritual attachments, and simply understanding that
everything is perfect, no matter what.
It sounds so simple; the truth is, it is one of the simplest, yet most
complex exercises there are. Simple, because all you have to do is make a
choice, at any time, to let go, set free, feel that everything is okay, no
matter what the situation.
Complex, because our emotions, trained by a Western-Greek-Roman
civilization tie us up, hold us back, make us want to have and accumulate,
things, people, money, love, to want more, and they make us think that letting
go, releasing, is somehow losing and never winning.
Well there is the heresy today: Letting
go is winning. By letting go, we
gain freedom, the peace of living in a state where you just can’t lose, because
you already let go, you can’t take
that away from me because I already gave it up, a state where all I have is my
limitless essence, my being running free, embracing the Universe in a bliss of
enlightenment and gratitude because by letting go, I realized how light my own
spirit was.
off of absolute freedom, from the
complete detachment that leads to moments of light and coincidence where you
give without expecting anything in exchange, where you are simply in communion
with spirits, where, as Richard Bach put it, there are no good-byes… How can
you say good-bye to something that was never yours? How can you say good-bye to
something that will never leave?
Letting go never ends, or it will end when there is nothing left but our essence; so the road guarantees a great deal of growth and learning… here I am, right in the middle of a pilgrimage.
