If the people in our lives serve as mirrors, helping us to understand ourselves, when we disconnect or cease a relationship, it can indicate that the lesson or experience we were meant to have is completed.
When this happens to you, do you thank them and move on or do some people continue to be on the periphery of your life; just not as primary players?
Our daily experiences encompass an ebb and flow of gradual consciousness changes which create a new ‘life’ in every moment. When you wake up in the morning, are you the same person who went to sleep last night? On a superficial level, you operate as if you are the same. But in multiple and important ways, you are different.
What were you thinking about before you went to sleep last night? Did that subject remain with you this morning, and how do you feel about it now?
We are aware of the continuity of subject matter but rarely track the path an idea takes to its conclusion. If we did, our minds would be full of minutia and unable to handle all in-coming experiential traffic. Thus, the ebb and flow of change carries with it an understanding of who we are so that we have an identity touchstone, and the change that occurs is a volume that would represent a continuing TV mini-series.
If you think about your life as a story and identify the key characters, who are primary, secondary, etc.? This analysis is important for your consciousness to transcribe your development and help you with direction when necessary.
We enjoy the ebb and flow when it comforts and supports us. We may resist it when it shakes our world, shocks our system, and eventually moves us to a different state of awareness.
There is also an ‘aha’ moment associated with each transformative experience when we process and allow it to speak to us.
Recognizing and accepting the value of your ebb and flow experiences can be a gift that you give to your self.
