The Universal Story is a transformational pattern. Learn how your inner stories influence your choices and decisions in life. Release the stories and transform negative emotions. Transformation and the Universal Story is a rhythm all life cycles through. They are made up of beginnings, middles and ends. All of nature, all plants, animals, humans are born, live and die. The cycle of transformation and the Universal Story can loosely be broken into:
- Comfort and Separation
- Expansion and Struggle
- Transformation and Triumph
The Universal Story
In the place of comfort, change and evolution come only as quickly as the slowest member of the group. To expand ourselves and the world around us, we are asked to separate. Move from what is known and familiar and comfortable (relatively speaking) to change. Toss off all that no longer serves us. Triumph for the greatest good.
Always in the past, those who successfully passed through the universal markers in life helped evolve the planet, our species, life around us. Now, many are expanding without reaching a triumphant end. The expansion in the middle creates enormous stress, challenges, obstacles, antagonists. This ultimately leads to the death of the old and opens up space for the new. Without letting go and the subsequent release of pressure, tension builds.
The Middle
Can one move from beginning to triumph without passing through the deadly middle? Sure. Anyone who has learned all the life lessons needed to evolve move effortlessly from one triumph to the next.
More typically, often, before the true road appears, we suffer failure, brokenness, fear, emptiness, and alienation and loss. The only way to re-creation lies through death. First, before we can triumph, the repetitious stories we tell ourselves that limit and hold us back must be destroyed.
Your Inner Stories
We all love stories. Most of us are unaware of the influence the stories we tell ourselves have on the choices and decisions we make in our lives. Understand the significance of your inner stories. Release negative emotions. Connect to new stories that inspire and uplift rather than burden and depress your energy. Once released from the power old stories hold over us, we are free to create peace in every moment of our lives.
Ego
Most of us are ruled by our egos. Our egos perpetuate stories in our minds that keep us off-balance, angry, frustrated, blaming, sad, fearful, unworthy, striving, grabbing, hurting and locked in dark emotions. To move beyond the limiting thoughts and behaviors and stories we tell ourselves and clear the way to triumph, first we suffer. We’re slapped in the face. Slammed to our knees. Betrayed. Abandoned. Ostracized. Demoralized. We’re confronted with a moment when we become aware of life’s deeper meaning and our place in the world. Life takes us by the shoulders and shakes us until we see life and ourselves as we really are. We’re jolted into a new acceptance, one in which transformation flourishes.
Transformation
We often surrender our own personal power to an authority outside ourselves either willingly or by force. Or we exchange our own personal power for comfort. Then confronted with challenges we’re forced to reclaim our own personal power through learning, awakening and consciousness. The moment consciousness slays the ego, we seize back our own power. Instantaneously our behavior and thoughts and beliefs and the stories in our mind begin to transform.
