How can 2026 become hopeful? With the darkness around us that seems to be drawing ever closer, you'd almost think it's an utopia. And yet it is possible, if you start working and living more from an infinite energysource. Take a look.
Without an end, there is no beginning. Without a beginning, there is no end. There is no birth without death and no death without birth. Truly all forms come and go. It's only a matter of time.
Just think of external forms, such as buildings, houses, cars, watches. Or your parents, partner, friends, and colleagues that come and go. Your body that comes and goes. Your job, social position, or status that comes and goes. A failed project that comes and goes. A success that comes and goes.
Similar elements apply to internal forms, such as convictions you started to believe in but suddenly no longer fit or feel right for you. Such as 'I'm not good enough' or 'I am further in my development than the other person'.
But for heaven’s sake where do these forms originate? And what makes them disappear again? And what is there, or what remains, or has always been there in the background when these temporary forms disappear?
An invisible and infinite source of energy that is the Creator and Destructor of all forms.
If this is true (which I have yet to see any evidence of being false), then there is always something that remains from which the forms come and go: a permanent energysource, also called "spirit" by some. It is infinite energy and life itself, which has only nestled in temporary forms.
Just as trees lose their leaves in the fall, in the winter there are no leaves left, but life continues underground and reveals itself again in new leaves during springtime. If you follow the natural movements of this source, work and life also become much easier and brighter, despite the darkness around you.
The problem arises when you want to continue clinging onto forms that no longer serve you or no longer align with your essential growth as a soul. A job, a belief, a partner, or whatever. That's our own ego, which can make life hopeless because it doesn't go the way you wish or what's naturally expected from you.
Sometimes it's time to stop something because its natural expiration date has passed: a product or service, an organization, a business or personal relationship.
Sometimes you have to accept the loss of something you were deeply attached to, with the emotional processing required of you because you had committed your heart and soul to it.
Because, if everything comes and goes, why hold on to it? The moment you let go of old forms that no longer serve you or hinder your essential growth, embrace the pain of letting go with a deep sense of purpose (and don't choose comfort and rigid security), space is created for the new and a better form can emerge. Then life becomes hopeful, more enjoyable, and meaningful again. New energy is released that you previously held captive. Then, naturally, new forms will appear within you that fit you better as a new coat.
"If everything comes and goes, why hold on to it?"
Consider this:
Give it a try and see what it ultimately brings you.
