On Letting Go

July 7, 2010

by her wings

This week I am giving you snippets of information from Zero Limits (my Relaxed Book Club selection) as well as other magnificent resources, which can help all of us better understand what Self I-Dentity Ho’oponopono is and what “Zero” feels like. Read my first post about Zero Limits here.

In practicing Self I-Dentity Ho’oponopono so far, to me, it feels like the ultimate surrender. It feels like letting go.

Zero could feel like:

Give up, and you will succeed.

Bow, and you will stand tall.

Be empty, and you will be filled.

Let go of the old, and let in the new.

Have little, and there is room to receive more.

The wise stand out,

because they see themselves as part of the Whole.

They shine,

because they don’t want to impress.

They achieve great things,

because they don’t look for recognition.

Their wisdom is contained in what they are,

not their opinions.

They refuse to argue,

so no one argues with them.

The Ancients said: “Give up and you will succeed.”

Is this empty nonsense?

Try it.

If you are sincere, you will find fulfillment.
