Allowing, How Do I Allow This?
July 30th, 2009
“There will be a time, not so far from now, that you will look back on this phase of your life and instead of condemning it or beating up on it… Instead of blaming or guilting, you will feel appreciation for it, because you will understand that a renewed desire for life was born out of this time period that will bring you to physical heights that you could not have achieved without the contrast that gave birth to this desire.”
— Abraham
As I move along my path of enlightenment I am challenged, over and over, to allow something, everything, to just be as it is without judgment or struggle or worry. Some things are just too hard to allow to be. Or so they seem at the beginning. I know, now, that this is the only path for me, the path of acceptance and allowing so I know it is my work to find value in all that I come across.
It really doesn’t matter what I have stumbled over at this time, it only matters that I find a new way to look at “it”. And even a way to value what is. And then I will be loving unconditionally, and be free of the attachment. When I find fault in something I anchor it to me. It is only when I accept and allow and find value that I let go and enjoy the freedom that is me.
Sometimes finding a new way to view something takes some time but it is always worth it, always. Holding onto views of wrong, guilt, and bad are like tying rocks onto a birds foot. Let them go and that bird can soar.

Hi ANne-
I SO ally with this approach and way to light, truth, self. I also savor that moment, or moments just before when I wrestle with perhaps new information, a new harsh reality that sickens me by it’s nature – and I feel my momentum build, and my rage unfurl and my inner resources come together to carry me through and give me wht I need to survive, sustain, act, be…..I used to avoid that part, not any more as that is the “rue” that makes it all work.
Love to you
Gail
peace……

Hi Gail, I also find that anger helps me move from fear to hope. Our emotions are so valuable once we accept them and learn to love ourselves no matter what state we are in. Thank you for the comment my friend. xoxoAnne

When you talk about “allowing” it reminds me of one person’s comparison of our life in our body to that of a stream flowing by. We are the spirit observing the stream and any point in time is one spot in the water of the stream. It is never constant always flowing. Once it passes you will never see it again. Before it gets to you you can’t see it yet. You must just “allow” it to flow and observe from the bank. I am sharing tools I’ve learned on my blog, Daily Spiritual Tools. I’d love your feedback. Namaste, Sherry
