Comments on: What Is Letting Go? http://www.silentmusings.com/2009/07/what-is-letting-go/ Inquiries into the Truth about life, love, spiritual cultivation, and whatever else Sun, 01 Aug 2010 06:57:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: sinrevelar http://www.silentmusings.com/2009/07/what-is-letting-go/#comment-111 sinrevelar Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:15:34 +0000 http://www.silentmusings.com/?p=647#comment-111 Totally agree with Raquel. Words are awfully limiting: what means to someone, means different to another; yet there's a point in every writing done. Letting go is a huge deal I face every time I fight with myself, and it's also a huge piece of advice: I've noticed it in about 5 different movies (drama, tragedy, children movies...) in which the main character, in order to achieve his goal, must let go, just let go. In the end I've come to realize that letting go is more than just "abandon" or "let go" any pursue of ours to the Divine Will; but also, to forget about oneself, to let go of oneself.

This one was very challenging to write for me, and even after I finished it, I almost deleted it, because it doesn't really say exactly what I feel. However, I figured, what the heck, just let it go, and see what happens. Sometimes the process of writing can alleviate the need to say more. Hi Raquel,

Language is so limiting at times, and trying to describe the indescribable is impossible. Possibly what the Buddha was considering when he declared, "This cannot be taught". I have gotten hung up on descriptions without even realizing that they had become my obstructions. As Joseph Campbell said, "Yahweh gets in the way of God". Just a new realization for me that I find relates. :) Sometimes, the problem is letting go of the words.
