The Luxury of Unbecoming : Can You Afford to Evolve?
Can you afford to unravel?
To lose yourself?
To step into the void?
To forget who you are and set out on a journey of self rediscovery?
Most people can’t.
We surround ourselves with attachments.
Things - certificates - souvenirs.
Everywhere you look… there’s another reminder of who you know yourself to be.
Are you what you learned?
Are you what you own?
Are you where you’ve been?
Are you what you’ve seen?
We entangle the roots of our identity with the way other people perceive us.
Daughter - sister - wife - mother - friend.
Each role, ever so slightly, traps you into ‘having to be the you that others know you to be’.
Have you ever heard…
“That’s not like you at all!”
“I know you and that’s out of character for you to be the way you are right now!”
“You have a responsibility as a daughter / sister / wife / mother / friend to act a certain way, it’s expected of you!”
The longer you live, the more you ‘live into’ the character defined by your connections, your earthly possessions, your patterns and habits.
And really, what’s wrong with that?
Most people go through this, and they seem to be alright with the character they get to ‘play’ in this life.
Except…
Your identity doesn’t really ‘exist’.
That role you play, and all the things you identify with — it’s only the continuous practice, the repetition that make your character feel ‘real’ to you.
So, back to my original point:
CAN YOU AFFORD TO UNRAVEL
TO LOSE YOURSELF
TO SET OUT ON A JOURNEY OF REDISCOVERY
?
Here’s the good news, and the bad —
You can be anyone.
Good, because it’s true.
Bad, because to most people, it’s a daunting thought.
Why?
Simply put… they would never dare to lose their identity. Even if they knew for sure that a whole another timeline was available to them on the other side of the void, better in every way.
This is because we don’t have a good relationship with Death in our current state of collective evolution.
We fear and avoid death as a transitional rite — and beyond that, we fear and avoid the kind of death that is meant to happen frequently throughout our living experience…
Death of Ego,
The one that begets the birth of a more evolved and advanced Ego.
In other words, we avoid individual evolution.
And as a result, we become trapped in our identity, our roles, our attachments.
The fear keeps us going through the motions despite feeling disconnected and discontent with who we think we are.
We turn to medication to fix the symptoms of something only stepping into the void could help us heal,
And we settle for the ‘self’ that has been accumulated rather than consciously re-birthed and chosen.
There is another way, however.
Losing yourself is a luxury — and you really deserve it.
You deserve to forget who you are and find out all over again.
You deserve to evolve.
