From the deepest part of me, I could tell that I was at a turning point that was going to make all the difference in my life. I was going to see a new dimension of my Truth and learn to embrace it. But first, I had to allow all of the things to dissipate that were unnecessary. Oh, how afraid I was. What was about to happen?
-- Harriet Cole, “Choosing Truth: Living an Authentic Life”

It’s very apparent to you that you are on the threshing floor. Things in your life are revealing themselves in ways that can be nothing but divine and defining, though they may not feel like it at the moment. The unnecessary stuff is showing up and you realize once and for all it needs to be disqualified and disallowed from continually upsetting your life. Your customary dosage of fear is demanding you stare it in the face, dissect it, and reach beyond it to grasp and achieve that which you’ve longed for and dreamed of, yet run from, sabotaged and interrupted with distractions that were easier, simpler, and that didn’t require much from you. Your experiences are requiring you to thoughtfully review them and place them in proper and usable perspective, while at the same time repeatedly confirming that you are not defined by them. You are not your experiences.

At this point in your life, at this very juncture, you are being stripped of those things which keep you guarded, that have kept the walls secure around you and any air and light from entering your Being. Everything you knew to be true, every Truth you’d judged and constructed to inform your life, is being called into question by something deep within you. Every safe thing you thought, the things that kept you living on the surface – for to go deeper was emotionally disturbing and far too much work – are being pulled from under you and you can no longer sit comfortably upon a well-made bed of mediocrity and complacency. You are being CALLED to a higher standard, one in which only you can create and accept.

What were once your boundaries and comfort zones are being pared down to something tighter. The uncertainly, chaos, and disorder you’d welcomed into your life, consciously and unconsciously, are finding their exodus, whether on their own volition or not. It’s all getting cleared up and cleared out so that something new can enter. And that something new will not only be what you want and need, it will require you to be open, disciplined, obedient, honest, a new creation, and a willing recipient of every single thing it brings, the good and not-so-good. It will encourage and support your renewed comfort zone as it once again expands, but this time to receive only that which is good, tender, and non-defeating.

The unearthing you’re experiencing, the unraveling that’s upon you, the Truth that is being revealed require your conscious and reflective attention. Your next level is dependent upon your acceptance and honest actions within this moment in time. Embrace what is happening and what you are soon to see.
