A Separate Reality
Disconnecting From
The Source
We all
experience periods where we feel separated from the loving ebb and flow of the
universe. These times of feeling disconnected from the source may occur for many
reasons, but self-sabotage is the most common cause for us choosing to cut
ourselves off from the flow of the universe. We purposefully, though often
unconsciously, cut ourselves off from this flow and from the embrace of humanity
so we can avoid dealing with painful issues, shun the necessary steps for
growth, or prevent the success that we are afraid of achieving from ever
happening. When you choose to disconnect from the source, you block the flow of
the universe's energy from passing through you. You become like a sleepwalker
who is not fully awake to life, and your hopes, plans, and dreams begin to
appear as distant blurs on a faraway horizon. Universal support has never left
you, but if you can remember that you became disconnected from source by choice,
you can choose to reconnect.
Reconnecting with the universe grounds you
and is as easy as you making a concerted effort to become interested in the
activities you love or responding to what nurtures or stimulates you. You may
also want to make a list of the activities and kinds of experiences that touch
your soul. Try to pinpoint the times when you have felt fully engaged and aware
and ask yourself what you were doing. But one of the easiest ways to reconnect
is simply by stating the intention of doing so.
When you disconnect from
the universe, your sense of purpose, creativity, and ability to be innovative
are not as easy to access. You may also experience a deep and empty sense of
longing or feel devoid of ideas or unworthy of love. It's important, however, to
recognize that being disconnected from the universe is never a permanent state,
and it can be reversed any time you decide that you are ready to reconnect. When
you are connected to the universe, all aspects of your being will feel alive as
the flow of the universe pours through your being and into your life.
