As the energies of the planet continue to rise, my thoughts return to the old book by Erica Jong, from the 70s (as I believe). It's called Fear of Flying .
During the time I took my first Metaphysics 101 class in Lynnwood, Washington, there was a lot of talk about how each one creates their own reality and how each part of that reality is a kind of mirror that gives us the reflection of who we are.
During such an argument, a class member confessed: I have a kind of switch inside me. When I decide internally to go for it in one or more areas of my life, I can begin to feel a sensation of extreme acceleration. The opportunities begin to appear, the problems are resolved and my head begins to turn. On such occasions, to my own bewilderment, I sometimes choose to turn the switch again, adding various blocks of energy so that things lose speed and become more manageable. ”
We discovered that these energy blocks can take the form of substance addictions (such as food, drugs, alcohol), sexual addictions, work addiction, etc. They serve as DEVIATORS and REDUCERS of energy that would otherwise be used to increase awareness towards the next expanded levels of vibration. In other words, they connect us to the ground so we can't fly.
Erica's book focuses on the issue from the point of view of female sexuality: the fear of opening fully to allow EVERY being to go out and ALL of our Beloved (*) to stay inside. One of the points of frustration that I hear from many women today is that they have a hard time finding a partner that matches their energy flow. Not long ago, I had the opportunity to discuss it with a woman who talked about the failure of many romantic couples who went through her life. He said: “The problem with me is that I usually tend to wear men down. At first, they get very excited about me and my lifestyle, but they can't keep up with me once the novelty of sex disappeared. ”Then he sighed and added:“ I guess I'll never be able to experience a lasting relationship. ”
Of course, this made me think. I did not want to enter into a dispute with her about polarity he / she, nor was I offended (as a man) by what I was saying. My mind was spinning more deeply than that. I found myself ADOPTING this expression of consternation as my own, a group of my own inner feminine, and wondering what was under it. Therefore, my memory of the book, and my renewed interest in taking a look at the FEAR OF FLYING of humanity.
Someone who has the frequent experience of "my partners simply cannot keep up with me" has created a DIVISION within his / her universe. One "side" of the division is taking on the role of "initiator" while the other "side" reflects resistance, perhaps in the form of apathy. Many times, the couple who sees or feels apathy does not verbally complain about it, even if the passion they feel is negative. That way, he or she manages to be IN CONTROL of passion. Romantic couples are chosen and discarded based entirely on their ability to sustain a "status quo" to support this underlying belief: "People simply can't keep up with me."
Very few people are really aware of doing this, or looking for it. When I discovered that trait in myself, I understood that part of it came from a "Personal Law" that I maintained since childhood. It was formed when my childish self understood how tired my mother was to take care of me. He had me when I was older and was not the young woman my sister met. So naturally I began to develop the conviction that "I am difficult to handle." What is underlying this conviction, and the proliferation of “Resistant Couples” that support it is an absolute TERROR to be pushed personally out of our “comfort zone” or challenged beyond an acceptable emotional level.
Actually, the physical world is a House of Mirrors. If we are busy trying to push or attract our world to “keep up with us, ” and we are not getting a satisfactory answer, it is WE, WE, who are resisting. We have turned the "switch" to a minimum or "turned off". The appearance of "couples who cannot keep up" is a reflection of how we are not allowing ourselves to keep up with the promptings of an Expanded Self.
Underneath the WOUND of having been "injured" during a previous "fight" - which is often used as an excuse as to why we cannot leave it and trust that our energy will really guide us - is FEAR OF FLYING.
We tell ourselves that "I simply cannot open up and trust because of that terrible thing that ……. it made me. ”We build scar tissue (fear tissue) around this“ wound ”and that makes us dense and inflexible so that we cannot achieve or maintain deep states of spiritual activation. We are only limiting ourselves, what is OK, by the way, if what we want is more Limitation.
Is this true in their lives? Do they project their “resistance and apathy” towards their partners, arguing that they simply cannot keep up? Do they blame a wound from the past for their unwillingness to spread their wings at this time? What is really holding you back?
I am beginning to observe more and more that the "wounds of the past" have very little to do with our resistance to the Spirit of the Moment of Now. We are delaying with empty excuses. Underneath all that is FEAR OF FLYING. Afraid to LET GO and not be in control of what happens. And if we stand up and fly, we must remember that “any landing we can walk away from is a good landing.” And we must also remember that the Spirit will sometimes take us to places where no man or woman has ever gone before. Are we willing to hold on to the "handles" and let that happen?
