The gears of your mind are shifting, and that is a good thing. Life as you know it is shifting. It may feel to you that the ground is being removed from under you. The fact is that rising is not always comfortable. Getting up does not have to be comfortable. Comfort is not the determinant of your life on Earth. Change is!

You object to change. You didn’t know life would be like this. You wanted a garden party, and, instead, you find yourself on shifting sand and have to let go of your grip on life as you have perceived it to be. Life is coming out of itself. It is shedding its skin, as it were, and a new world is rising like a lotus flower. And you are shedding your skin and becoming a softer newer you. You are taking off to a higher plane. You are a shifted being.

There is no more status quo. You will get used to a new life just in time to shift again.

All your premises are changing. You are clearing the slate. You are rising on an elevator of love, and you do not get out at the same floor you got on.

Externally, all may seem the same to you, yet you are on a higher floor.

In order to rise, you have to let go. You have to let yourself go. You have to stop holding on. You have to let go of the banisters and railings that you have been holding on to for dear life. Now, for the sake of dear life, you let go. No longer do you keep yourself back. Now you fly free.

Flying may seem disconcerting until you get used to it. You can’t fly and stay attached to what held you in place before. You are letting go of the bonds that held you. You can’t be bound and boundless at the same time. Let go of the walls that have hemmed you in. No need to clutch to mere wood or ice. In any case, they are not there for you any longer. You are making a clean break with the past.

You have always glimpsed the horizon in the past. Now you are at the horizon. You are flying higher, and you can almost peek over the horizon to see the grandeur there. Don’t be afraid or hesitant about the sights before you. You won’t fall. Once you have risen, you have risen. There is no going back.

And if you have not yet risen, you still can’t stay where you are. Say bye-bye to the past and welcome the new. You are new. Welcome yourself to advancement. You are graduating. Once out of high school, you’re not in high school any longer. You longed for graduation. Yet, now, for a while, you feel unsettled. What is life going to be like now? You simply have to find out.

What is the water like? Jump in and see. What unseen gifts are waiting for you? What wonders are you going to perform?

So what if your legs are shaky. You are vibrating to a different tune. You will find your sea legs. And on the ocean wide you will sail. You will learn the language of the sea, and you will become proficient at it. Soon enough, sailing will feel natural. It will feel right.

You have set sail, and there is no turning back. You will gain speed, and forge right ahead. I am here, waiting for you to rush into My arms.
