The forgetting makes the remembering sweeter.

Sometimes we forget who we are. Sometimes we forget the true Self underneath the stories, the drama, the wounds, and the noise. We forget our limitlessness, our purity, our safety, our worthiness, our love, our simplicity. This is life. We forget and we remember. We remember and we forget. The forgetting makes the remembering sweeter. It's part of our experience here.

To feel deeper healing inside doesn't mean that we never forget.It doesn't mean that we never have "beginner" moments. It does not mean that we don't ever regressdevelopmentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

It means that in the time between stimulus and response, between trigger and choice, between forgetting and remembering- the space gets smaller. We remember sooner. We get reminded more quickly who and what we really are.

We make productive choices sooner, we take the ego death sooner, we initiate a repair sooner, we have the hard conversation sooner, we set boundaries sooner, we get honest sooner, we return to what is simple sooner, we go back to our resources and rituals sooner. we do the thing that makes us feel alive sooner.

In the beginning it takes a long time to remember, maybe a few weeks, or months, or years, or longer. You know the awareness and growth is returning you to who you really are not when you stop forgetting (we are human), but when you find yourself consistently remembering, over and over again.

The forgetting part of our lives makes the remembering that much sweeter. The contrast creates the perfect birthing ground for us to truly remember with all of our senses, over and over again.
