This is the second installment in my series of posts offering thoughts that can change your experience when trying to find your way out of the darkness…

In part 1, I talked about creating more peace during the ebbs by being aware of the fact that life isn’t a continual FLOW and using that awareness to welcome the ebbs into our life as we are here to evolve through experiences – all kinds of experiences. After accepting that an ebb has come our way, we then have an opportunity to lessen the suffering by LETTING GO and ALLOWING the ebb to unfold rather than predicting the outcome or making the outcome happen…FAST. When you’re in the darkness, do you tend to unleash your inner fortune teller? Do you know exactly how this is all gonna go down? Do you know exactly what that other person is thinking? Do you know exactly what you and that other person need to do? Oh, let me count the ways and many times I have looked into my crystal ball and told myself all kinds of stories just so I felt like I has some information…even if it was completely made up.

I don’t know about you, but trying to be in charge of my ebb has never actually worked for me – it has never brought me the peace and resolution I have been so desperately reaching for. If this reaction to the darkness sounds all too familiar to you – if you have been there and purchased one or two souvenir t-shirts, then consider the opposite reaction and that is to simply LIVE IN THE MYSTERY. Our ego shudders at the very thought of letting go and allowing life to unfold, but our soul is absolutely tickled neon pink when we demonstrate our faith that what will happen in this ebb is perfect – not “picture perfect” but perfect for our evolution.

Look back at some of the other ebbs in your life and see how they served you…how they brought about miracles that you could not have created all on your own…how they have brought you to where you are right now as you read this. Use that evidence or what I like to call “past data” to help you put away the crystal ball and feel peaceful as you patiently wait for the mysterious perfect ending reveal itself.

May you remember what you truly know.

Living in the mystery when we’re in the darkness is like falling back into someone’s arms…an exercise in TRUST…an exercise in FAITH. When we get out our crystal ball, try to figure it all out, try to make it all better, we are also forgetting that there is a loving energy who has our back…who knows better than we do about what needs to happen…who mysteriously has the perfect ending in mind.

Big Love,
