Letting go

It’s like when you climb a ladder. When you get to the fourth rung, you may think you are on the highest step and cannot go higher, so you hold on to the fourth rung. But in fact there is a fifth rung; if you want to get to it, you have to be willing to abandon the fourth rung. Ideas and perceptions should be abandoned all the time, to make room for better ideas and truer perceptions. This is why we must always ask ourselves, “Am I sure?

Die to live

Give to receive

Lose to win

This is Sacred mathematics at work

As long as we hang on to

Old ideas

Old perceptions

Old fears

Old hopes

Old expectations

Old injuries

Old narratives

Even

Old victories

We will fail to find the truth

And fail to find Sacred vision for ourselves

Our relationships

Our work

Instead we will be stuck

Inside a dense box

Of our own making

We must die

Let go

So that God’s new thing

May emerge in us, and through us
