Subject: The ‘End of the world’ or entering a new one without old baggage? |
|

Hi everybody! I felt the need to share (briefly)
what has happenned to me in the last 6 years. In
resume: I have lost almost everything that made my
past life as it was. My family (they are all well,
but life has separated us), my old Friends (died),
and (among others things) the last loss was my home.
32 years took me to rebuild a little house in a
village. It was my hobby and finally my home. I had
just finished the job. And I was proud of it. It was
my ‘center of gravity’. The last remaining of ‘who I
was’. On february the first it was burnt to the
basements. And I wasn’t sleeping in it by a strange
combination of ‘casualities’ (the fire started at 7
am and took just 20 minutes to disapear all). After
the death of my loved ones it has been the greatest
shock in my whole life. All my memories, a whole
life. I think I couldn’t take it with me. But all
that was ‘the old’. You will wonder what’s new then.
A new partner I never imagined could have such a
good relationship with. New Friends more likely to
myself. And, although I keep my job, my field of
interest has shifted radically (may be my next job,
who knows…but lets say I reached my peak). I have
almost no material things now (the clothes I weared
that day, my computer and the bag I have carried
for 30 years in my job as professor). I see it as
the definite loss of my 3D world.
But, since that day I have received the hughest show
of love and compassion I had never experienced. My
neighbours shared my pain and perplexity, offered me
clothes, a caravan next to the ruins and a house to
stay while I rebuild again my home (on new and clear
basis). And believe me if I tell you I have cried
much more due to the emotion that made me feel these
facts than because of my burnt house. I never felt
so loved and compannied. I am not used to be helped.
Normally I helped all people around me. In my past
life (I suspect I experienced a walk-in in March
2010) I was always trying to make everybody happy.
But I wasn’t. World has too many issues to look at.
Now, I must take care of myself and accept help. But
I don’t feel bad about it anymore. In fact I feel
happier without so many unuseful things. And I feel
free in my self integrity. Now I really now who I
am. I am not my family, my house, my Friends or my
things. I am who I am and people I know love me like
that. It has been painful but worthy.And I can only
feel gratefulness. Of course, I am not suggesting
you to do a mess of your life intentionally ((I
wouldn’t advice you to! And it must happen ‘by
chance’), but when things get really ‘weird’ there’s
something new and better coming. The world works
like that and we will probably see it soon. Best
wishes (and be carefull with old electric wires ;-).
We will meet on ‘the other side’. Alberto.

Thanks for sharing this Alberto. Yes, we all have our stories of shedding the baggage one way or another.
I felt it quite freeing when I decided to get rid of most of my household furniture/belongings back in 1998 when I moved North from S Calif. I gave it all to my children who were starting out on their own. Just took my barest necessities. What a journey its been.
And for the most part have chosen to live in furnished places or partially, or doing some camping- the 5 months I spent in N Dakota in a Camper van I traded my car for back then in 2012 also allowed me to live on a Native reservation and attend their pow wows going on for that summer.
It has allowed me to go places I would not have, had I kept all my stuff.
I am glad to hear even though its been rough for you, you are better for it rather than the bitter. My early years were the roughest for me. The formative years and while I have shared a little here and there on this website- it is very difficult for me to share all of it. Suffice to say and thankful that early on I became a song writer/poet/singer and writer so whatever tragedies I went thru were also put into song for my own healing. And when I had children my songs became a source of lullabyes for them to learn and appreciate. I sang and played guitar with all three children in my womb... they all grew up loving music and or singing themselves and my two sons play guitar too.
So you might say "my house was burnt to the ground" too when I was a young one and slowly ever so surely began to build again. I always appreciate your posts here. Thank you.

WOW Alberto, you certainly have been through hell.
It is nice to see someone (like yourself) that has experienced so much pain, being able to see and appreciate what you do have. It is those non-material things that aid in our spiritual progression.

Wow Alberto, I didn't know all that had happened. Thank you for telling us
here. I experienced all of this when I was a teenager.. except for the house
burning down...but we lost our house just the same and lost everything
from my childhood. It happened to you later in life and you used your
wisdom and spirit to come through it and are still processing it day by
day. It makes you stronger my friend, when you realize you don't need the
'stuff' or that house. Friends and family members cannot be replaced so
easily and that breaks the heart. Remember (((reincarnation!))) and you
WILL see and be with all those you love again and again...thank God!!!
At some point when your hindsight is 20/20, you'll also see that it
happened at the perfect time to free you. Yes you are free and growing
stronger because you didn't lose anything really but gained so much from
the experience. It took me years to come to that place but I've arrived :)
On one level or another...we are all letting go of the past. Yours and mine
were extreme cases, while others just clean out their closets and donate to
charity lol... Ah well what doesn't kill you will make you stronger and that
is the bright side. Try to stay on that side instead of wallowing in the
sadness of the loss. Yes grieve for what was but let go and embrace the
new life waiting for you to step into now....and you will! You have new
friends who love and care for you--God Provides. Alberto you are in my
prayers and your goodness will come back to you, know that.
God bless you, Jody

That sounds real rough. No "baggage allowed". You really made it. Congratulations! I am glad you are doing so good with all that happening.

It has taken a long way and a panoply of deep
experiences to get here. I deserved all (the 'good'
and the 'bad). The more in the past more negative. The
more in the future more positive. The more in the
present more balanced. I have had the fortune to
practice a lot. The chain of gifts has precipitated.
All is where it has to be. Feel sad but relieved. It's
a g(r)i(e)ft. Good night and better day!
