and fears. For the first time in life we are beyond the up and down of our feelings that so often made us swing between emotional ice and heat. Unknown heights of serenity, sovereignty and elation open up within us. It is as if an inner light has been switched on.
This breakthrough gives us the ultimate solid confirmation that we really are entering regions of our life we were entirely unable to imagine on lower stages.
Dissolving Patterns of the Past We realize how severely the thought- and emotional patterns of our past and the expectations (and dreads) we project onto the future limit our perception of the present. We recognize these deep-rooted patterns with such clarity that we can easily break free from their restrictive influence.
One by one preconceptions, beliefs, emotions and prejudices that up to this moment locked our hopes and expectations into narrow limits, fall off like superfluous crusts. The tight band of events we previously felt and thought was our only conceivable path, now seems like a confining tube in which our life ran from a restrictive past into an equally restricting future. Our awareness begins to perceive the huge world outside this tube.
For the first time we become aware that our real personality is far greater than the small part we perceive of it within the frame of our incarnations.
We now are free to choose entirely new lines of thoughts and actions independent of previous mental and emotional patterns. A feeling of universal love rises within us, unconstrained by egoistic expectation and demand. In the beginning we feel like intoxicated as this immense potential opens up for our life.
