#21 - Shedding Shadows: Untethering The Soul Through Death and Rebirth

Have you ever felt tethered, restricted, or misaligned in your journey through life? I used to walk this Earth with a nagging feeling like there was an invisible chain pulling me towards decisions, people, and situations that didn't resonate with my true self. This wasn't just about hidden thoughts or unvoiced feelings. It was about an unseen entity attached deeply to my soul, masking my genuine identity.This realization came gradually. As I journeyed through life, I felt like I was viewing the world through a distorted lens. Every experience, every relationship, every choice seemed to be influenced by this ever-present entity, constructed of fears, insecurities, greed, and an insatiable hunger for external validation.Then, about seven years ago, meditation entered my life. Through introspective hours and years of inner exploration, I began to sense the weight of these distortions. But it took even longer to truly grasp the profound influence this deeply tethered entity had on my every move. It functioned almost like a silent disease, continuously seeking out situations and people that would nourish its existence.However, as with all journeys of discovery, a climax was reached. In a profound, transformative experience that felt both brutal and beautiful, this entity, which had been an intrinsic part of my existence, faded away. Its death marked a rebirth for me, opening up a world of authenticity and alignment.In this newfound clarity, I am rediscovering the world and myself. The chains that once bound me have dissolved, replaced by an exhilarating freedom. I share this personal journey as a testament to our soul's resilience. It's a reminder that no matter how deeply embedded our fears and insecurities might be, liberation and self-discovery await. The true self, when embraced, is the most empowering force we possess.
