Following on from yesterday I was contemplating this morning how normal from yesteryear feels so uncomfortable and unacceptable today. I was also contemplating how as a human species for the past year and a half we decried the need to return to the normal as we knew it before. As I was contemplating this I was wondering how many of our brothers and sisters globally are happy with the latest things being broadcasted on that square box that has invaded all of our lives.

I was wondering if as a human species we will ever get to a point where we could be truly neutral or able to give the benefit of the doubt to our fellow human? I was also wondering if we will ever be able to be harmonious with nature as we have been once upon a time?

I guess I was not wondering this for the first time, but am wondering every time I start my work with a client. When I meet them for the first time, I can see the doubt and miss trust in their eyes, I can feel their vibe telling me how they feel I am yet another body in the sea of bodies that have promised but did not deliver. In my first encounters I tell them honestly that I will not be sugar coating things but that I will give them a reality check, and if they wish to embark on the journey, I will hold their hand and we will laugh or cry together, we will indeed go through lows and high together as one. I also explain to them that should they feel I am talking out of my back side, they have every right to dismiss me. And though I tell them this, I am always surprise how many find it hard to accept the support and bail on themselves.

It is hard to face the inner reality of your being when for years and year your very self has been dragged through the mud, trampled on, shredded and thrown in the bin. It takes a different kind of courage to admit that what once was is not what is needed. It is difficult to let go of the familiar and step in the territory of the unknown. It is hard to let go, for what are you if not the sum of your histories? How would your ego survive in a new environment when it can no longer rule you? How can the self survive such a transformation when letting go of the old would require re-inventing itself in a new light? The old normal is needed for  everything to make sense. We need that addiction to the old to keep feeding the habit of the body mind and soul. Yu we are all addicts to our own suffering, for joy can surely not last, right?! So we go back to that which is familiar, and we go back to the routine, and we resign ourselves to the notion that the old is safe, is ok, it is safe.

Have you realised what needs to happen next? Have you started the deep dive into your own reality? Have you started crying yet? Have you started liberating the skeletons from the closet yet?
