A Limitation Overcome and a Price Paid + Rune of the Day

The great asset of Detachment

Today's Rune was another tough one for me, but rather beautiful. I said yesterday that I'd broken an essential limit within me and contacted a friend to apologize and thank him for revealing that restriction. Today I realized he'd already erased me on Facebook, so I wished him good fortune and let this be. I felt a certain anxiety because this is an old friendship, but it's not the first time I've had to let go of connections, even important ones, in the course of my self-exploration, the anxiety went away in minutes and there's no sadness in me. I find this is an appropriate price for my failure to observe my own words and the status of that relationship. Perhaps we'll meet again someday, perhaps we won't, but I'm satisfied with having done what I had to do to salvage the situation and make myself clear.

In circumstances like these, I review my history a few times to see what was actually going on, to learn from hindsight. This person was one of the very few with whom I tried to share my process for the past five years, but it was very difficult to communicate with him sometimes due to his wavering attention span and, no doubt, his lack of genuine interest for what I was telling him. After all, this whole business about Runes, Spirituality and self-awareness is only relevant to people who are already in that path. I guess he must've read at least a couple of my daily Runes at some point, but he never commented on that. Since he only shared sparsely about his own life, I engaged as best I could and offered company when he required it, but he doesn't require it now. All in all, it wasn't a particularly fruitful channel to either of us recently. I'm thankful to have been blessed with his trust for over a decade, that's good enough.

This connection may be closed, but others will come. The fact that this is happened precisely in my moment of greatest expansion is significant in itself. I've trained considerably to achieve this level of detachment and acceptance, and this is precisely the kind of situations for which I've prepared myself. People, even loved ones, come and go all the time, and there's nothing we can do about the choices of others. We can either trash-talk in anger, or we can respect and let be. I always go for the peaceful resolution, and that's the recommendations that I bring for you today: don't try to hold on to things or people, don't attempt to keep them around against the evidence that they don't want to be there. Everything that we let go opens the way for new possibilities.

This life is for learning, for breaking chains and shedding skins. We evolve by surrendering the old and welcoming the new. Whether we make mistakes in our relationships or whether we conduct ourselves seemingly flawlessly, others still may find our presence not to their taste and that's alright. This incident allows me to shift my attitude and refine my approach to social life and intimacy. Regardless of what's happened, I've learned and improved. That's also good enough.

Solutions, creativity. A simple exit from an apparently complicated conundrum is revealed. Do not be afraid of tomorrow or regret the decisions that you have made, everything has shaped and strengthened you. Confront the challenges with joy and gratitude, observe their influence on your evolution. Admit the wisdom of your circumstances, every situation shows you a part of the Truth. Express your charisma, demonstrate your loyalty, offer your service with pride and joy. Speak and act from the Heart, issue a clear and transparent message, lies exact a steep price in this moment, even if they seem innocent. Honor those who deserve it, exalt your neighbor, abandon grudges, discard the idea that the world is in your debt, deliver your work from Love and for Love. Pay attention, observe and listen, do not stay in appearances and delve deeper. The messages repeat and the obfuscation declines, you can see more of the essence, use it for your progress.
