Resurrecting the Self: Letting Go of the Past to Embrace the Now

4/20/20254 min read

This morning, during meditation, something clicked. I “got it,” in a way that transcended thought—it was like a deep knowing dropped into my being. I saw clearly how we are not bound by our timelines. We experience them, yes. We learn through them. But we are not of them. Our soul exists beyond time.

And yet—we’re stuck. We’re stuck in our perception of the world, in our self-identity, and especially in our past. And that’s a problem. Because the past defines who we were, not who we are. The past timeline was our textbook—crafted by our pre-incarnated soul to teach us what we needed to learn. We enrolled in this life with a purpose, knowing full well that lessons would come with challenge, pain, and growth.

As we live through those moments, we integrate the learning. It becomes part of our soul’s evolution. But here’s the thing: once the lesson is learned, we don’t need to keep reading the textbook. We don’t need to keep that timeline open. And yet, many of us do. We keep re-reading the same chapters, replaying old memories, re-identifying with outdated versions of ourselves. We let our past exert an undue influence over our present.

Yes, things happened. Yes, we were hurt, traumatized, and shaped by people and experiences. But that’s what we signed up for. That was the path we chose—not to suffer endlessly, but to grow through it. The timeline served its purpose. Now, it’s time to close the book and carry forward only the essence—the wisdom, the strength, the soul-level understanding.

And here's something powerful: when we let go of the past, we can finally be present. We return to the now moment—where true creation happens. Instead of being defined by the past, we begin to flow with life as it unfolds, becoming something new with each experience. We change, moment by moment, without fear and without resistance.

If something from your past is surfacing in your mind right now, take a breath—it may not be random. That’s Spirit speaking to you. It’s an invitation. A gentle nudge. It's telling you: release that timeline. Let it go.

We’re not here to dwell. We’re here to be. And to be is a present active tense—it’s not something passive or reflective. It’s alive. It listens. It responds. It evolves. Being is a state of consciousness that engages fully with what is, not with what was. The more we root ourselves in presence, the freer we become.

From childhood, we’re taught that our timelines—our history, both personal and global—are fixed and unchangeable. But what if that teaching is flawed? Memory experts tell us that many of our childhood memories are false. But are they truly false? Or are they echoes of timelines that no longer exist? Consider the Mandela Effect—millions of people remembering details, events, even entire histories differently than what we’re told is "real." What if our memories aren’t wrong? What if they’re glimpses of shifted timelines?

What if the act of awakening—of healing, forgiving, and letting go—actually alters timelines? Or more accurately, moves us into new ones?

It reminds me of the teachings of Paul Selig, and the mantra: “Behold, I make all things new.” What if this isn’t just metaphorical? What if this is the very process we are participating in—individually and collectively? Each time we release the past, we’re not just healing—we're rewriting the energetic script. We’re stepping into a new version of reality. A new earth. A new us.

It’s like a tributary feeding into a great river. The water brings forward the nutrients, the learnings. But it leaves the sediment--the pain, the illusions, the limiting beliefs--behind. Our soul, a sliver of the Higher Mind, gathers what was gained. It’s as if every fragment of experience contributes to the whole. The past, then, isn’t something to be carried; it’s something to be alchemized. We begin to reintegrate the fragmented slivers of ourselves—those scattered across lifetimes and timelines. With each closed timeline, each released identity, we draw closer to being Whole once again.

As we let go of attachment to who we were, we allow space for who we truly are to emerge. This shedding lifts our vibration. As we continue to let go, surrender, and forgive, the energetic weight we once bore begins to lift. And with that lightness, our vibration rises. We are resurrected—not in some abstract way, but in a deeply personal, cellular, and spiritual transformation. And this, in its essence, is resurrection—not in the traditional religious sense alone, but as a spiritual process that is unfolding within each of us.

And this morning of all mornings—Resurrection Sunday—this understanding felt especially poignant. It was a synchronicity, a divine nudge, reminding me that resurrection isn’t a singular miracle. It’s a path. A becoming. A return.

We are not broken. We are evolving.
We are not trapped. We are releasing.
We are not defined by our wounds. We are refined by our wisdom.

As millions of us engage in this sacred work—letting go, closing timelines, rising higher—we form a collective stream. Our rivers return to the Ocean of the Divine. And from that convergence, a new world is born. A world shaped not by trauma, but by unity. Not by fear, but by resonance. A new earth, created through the frequency of love and remembrance.

We are all Divine. And as we let go of who we were, we resurrect who we’ve always been.

Blessings to all of you walking this path of remembrance, presence, and rebirth. 🌊✨
Behold—we make all things new.
