One Apple a Day #637 - integrate and expand
I had a few experiences so powerful that they cracked the surface of my life. Some were tough and painful, others exciting and blissful. All of them gave me the possibility to glimpse at my infinite potential opening up slits through the layers I've built around my essence.
However, those layers that I've built are not rigid and sturdy, like walls. Oh no, instead they are made of thick, viscous and sticky material.
So, creating an opening is not enough. Once the energy that opened the gap is released, those layers immediately begin to close on it. They slowly back to the old and well-known form. And the light gleaming from within begin to fade until it is all gone, and I am back where I started.
This is why what we do after a transformative experience is as vital as the experience itself. The first days we must focus on integration. Using the strength pouring out from the newly opened gap, we must integrate into our lives what we've learned and discovered. We must take the time to reconnect with that energy and expand it from day one. So the layers won't go back to the old form, and maybe a crack, even if a tiny one, will remain on the surface. And crack by crack, gap by gap we will be able to liberate our infinite potential.
