Rock Bottom Is The Power Place

I feel guided to share this that I posted to someone on The Secret Forum who said she felt she didn't want to go on--that she had reached "rock bottom." Having had a pretty dramatic rock-bottom experience myself (you can read about it both in the article that is linked to at the end of this post and in the Introduction to Recreating Eden), I am a big proponent of using rock bottom as a launching pad! Without further ado, I'll share what I posted in case someone happens along who can use some encouragement.

Congratulations!

Rock bottom is the power place.

Only when you finally get to the place where you see no other way, will you go to the place within of real transformation. Only when your ego-mind finally realizes it does not have the answers can your real genius--the aspect of you that resides in perfect wisdom--kick in.

But you have to let go, let go, let go. Stop trying and let go.

When it's time for a spiritual surrender, no amount of trying to command Universal forces will work because you're not coming from a place of alignment. To align, you have to get all the "stuff" out of the way and give up your idea of personal ego-directed power. And you have to move into that space of being a little child again. "You must turn and become as a little child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

Forget trying to "work" the Law of Attraction. When you let go and realign with Source, it works automatically. Don't even think about LOA. Just release it.

Surrender. Let go of trying. Have the biggest pity party ever in the history of the world. Cry it out. Scream it out. Get all of the stuffed energy moving. Yell, "Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"

That's when the magic happens.

Someone posted the following quote on another thread. While my view of God, and probably yours, is not gender, or "other" -based, I love the basic message here:

=======

As children bring their broken toys
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God
because He is my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him in
peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help,
with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched it back again and cried,
"How can you be so slow?"
"My child" He said, "What could I do?
You never let it go."

I am serious when I say I am truly happy for you because it seems you've reached--or are close to reaching--a real turning point.

Love and a hug,

In retrospect, I'm surprised I did not recommend the article "Why Don't You Just Give Up?!" to her. Well, I'm recommending it to you! Whether you're at rock bottom or not, it provides a wonderful mudra for realigning. I have to give Rick credit--he is the one that came up with it. If you try it, notice that when you do the "giving up" part, you're moving energy from your solar plexus (seat of your ego) up to your crown chakra (where your awareness of the Divine resides). Perfect!
