A transformational Series
We have all heard this phrase time and time again—“let that shit go”. It is a catch phrase for many spiritual communities, mental health therapists, and even our family and friends are quick to use this phrase to deflect and bypass the reality of an issue. I personally detest that phrase! And I would like to share with you exactly why you should not trust any therapist or spiritualist that tells you that.
Maybe it is my Moon in Scorpio in the tenth house of career! It seats on Antares in the eye of Scorpio and therefore, it is in my personality to want to get to the core of an issue. I love it so much that I made a career out of it!!
Out of respect and love for all who share their intimate life experiences with me, I will never tell anyone to let shit go because I personally find it annoying and condescending. Nobody wants to hold on to shit, but we are holding onto shit for some very simple and poignant reasons. First, shit is the very essence of our human experience. When we have a trauma or uncomfortable experience that we cannot let go, it is because it is meant to be examined and processed so we can discover a deeper understanding about ourselves. It is through this understanding that we discover wisdom which in turn can lead to a shift in consciousness and then enlightenment. I have mentioned time and time again, that it is only true convictions that feeds the human soul and spirit. To clarify, we do not become enlightened by being intellectual, reading many books and using colorful words nor do we gain wisdom from other people’s stories. We develop through experience and by letting shit go, we deny ourselves the opportunity to develop our consciousness and purify our karmic memories.
I also feel strongly that this phrase has been coined to keep people in a state of apathy, resignation, and indolence. Exploring shit is the very catalyst for change and as we know, the demagogues of this world love a compliant race of humans they can use as slaves.
When shit hits your core, you cannot lay it to rest, you have to do something about it. Sometimes, the soul needs to use the shit as an opportunity to clear karma. Sometimes, we are called to act with empathy, or stand up for ourselves. A true transformational therapist will hold the space for deep explorations with the soul.
A tale of transformation
I once had a young friend who suffered from strange episodes that can only be described as a demonic possession. Trust me, every expert I consulted seem to trivialize this issue and gave me watered-down explanations of why this young lady would exhibit the following behaviors: wagging her tongue, running out to the streets, taking off her clothes, reported extreme burning sensations up her tail bone and feet, hearing voices, voice changing and being unable to control her body during these episodes. She had been to church, curanderos, was hospitalized inpatient psychiatric care and provided various medications but nothing seemed to work. She came to me out of a last resort haven tried everything else to no avail.
Using hypnotherapy and energy healing, her symptoms began to reduce but it did not go away. She did not have any episodes after two hypnosis/energy work sessions, but they returned with a vengeance by the third month and the episodes seemed to last longer to where she could not keep her job or attend college. One day, as we talked, she began to cry. She felt so helpless, her episodes seemed random and nobody in her family could understand what was happening to her. In that instant, I became angry, livid and heartbroken. I did not want to believe that something outside of us, unseen can torment us. We act like gods, at the top of the food chain, able to feed on anything and nothing feeds on us. These emotions were so deep that it took me into an altered state and found myself in the underworld.
The Underworld
The sky was red, a dry desolate place, grim and dark. There were dark entities running everywhere, it was utter chaos. As I stood here, a floating head appeared looking down at me. Perplexed as to how I got here, I knew to begin to pray and call forth the light. The energy of the place was so low that I started to get tired and weak. In that moment, my astral body began to fade and I was replaced by a blazing light. In an instant, the entire underworld establishment was cleared but the light continued to other parts of this place. I knew what I was doing and who I was looking for. I then stopped at a door and waited. Soon enough, an entity walked out and I lunged at it. Stripping its powers, I relieved him of his duties to never again bother my friend.
When I came to, I was back in my room and with my friend. She looked at me and smiled and we both knew we had been freed.
The Lessons Learned
So long as you let shit go, the more apathetic you will become. This was another experience of the Light that changed my perception of what I am and what we are called to do. My friend would never be the same. Resolved to walk in spirit, she went on with her newly found spiritual realizations, stronger and more confident. Neither of us will ever fall for the spiritual bypassing message of the spiritual love and lighters. My experiences show me that there is good and evil and they both work for God.
The Divine Light reminds me time and time again when I freak out about the evil things happening in the world that every challenge is an opportunity to upgrade and transfigure into the Christ.
