Two things. Both the same really . . . . . just seemingly different.
One.
Sometimes (oftentimes) we fall in to believing that we need a little extra something, an additional ‘cherry on top‘ of ourselves to make us whole …
Two.
And other times, it seems as though we are holding back from life – somehow holding life away, as though there were a ‘thin layer between‘ …
So both, either, are the same . . . Two sides of the very same belief – One ‘the before‘, and Two ‘the after‘ . . . Two sides of the very same belief that holds that something else, something other, will finally make us WHOLE.
Without realising it, as we invest in to this way of seeing, we believe ourselves in to the misperception of ‘incompleteess’.
Projecting out that THIS will make us happy, that THIS will make us loveable, that THIS will bring us love, that THIS will bring us joy, that THIS will bring us wholeness, that THIS will somehow perfect us, we unintentionally wind up covering our WHOLE selves over.
Applying a thin layer of ‘something else‘, we then go around in search of more layers … one, two, three, more … layer after layer, until we find that the very thing we sought to complete us, sought to take us closer to our wholeness, is the very thing that is seemingly ‘holding us distant’ … and so it is that as we awaken, we see that WE are the only ones ‘holding distance‘, that we are the only ones believing in to the ‘thin layer between‘.
Each thin covering, becoming another veil. Each thin covering, clouding our view. Each thin covering, holding life back. Each thin covering, blocking the flow of love. Each thin covering, muddying, masking the truth of who we really are.
So instead of busying our days in navigating our way through the layers, can we allow all that is not us, to simply DROP AWAY?
Drop away what is no longer supporting you …
Drop away the habits, patterns, and labels that have you bound …
Drop away the faces that are not you …
Drop away the extra bells and whistles that weigh you down …
Drop away the veils that cover you over …
Drop away all that serves you not …
Drop away the tensions and the stories …
Without judgement, drop away the mask …
All that is not you, let it drop away, for you are whole already. All that is not you, let it drop away, for you need it not. All that is not you, let it drop away, for it is not the truth of who you really are.
As you allow your excess skins to shed, you will not be left hollow … rather, as you see your inherent wholeness – without covering over – you will find yourself knowing your own exquisite radiance.
So drop away ALL that is not you, for here is where FREEDOM rests.
