Breakthrough
Up till now we have been dragging our old self along like a burdensome husk, the “new self” we coveted nowhere in sight. We are “dry drunks”, “white-knuckled dieters”, the imperfectly converted; half-heartedly singing along with the “saved”. Hypocrites. We have been faking it with a profound feeling of not making it. Then all of a sudden – maybe in the second between sleep and wake, while listening to music or thinking of something else – we see it. Out of the smallest corner of our failing eye. It’s not a “new self” exactly, but it’s a way out of the maze. Suddenly we rise above the maze and get a look at it. It’s small and cramped – we can’t believe we wasted so much time on it. Outside our tiny rats nest has been this fabulous new world all along, but we were so beset by our “incompetencies,” our “inadequacies and miseries” and above all THE FREAKIN UNFAIRNESS OF EVERYTHING that we couldn’t see it. All along, the only commitment we needed to make was to Rise Above so we could choose to Step Outside. We wanted a new self but what we were given was a new perception. It’s a glorious epiphany. Mantra: “I am so grateful for the power of new vision.”
