POP!

Then the fantasy pops! Just like that “POP!” You are left with nothing –shattered.

Not only does the fantasy pop but you are told that you must start seeing beyond your type, aka fantasy. It is suggested you walk away from what you are attracted to. This is the work. This is the process. This is the rewiring. This is why you have a life coach or spiritual teacher. Because you want to learn the lesson and you want happiness and you want to loosen the grip of karma. So you listen to what they tell you.

You listen because deep below the cry of the want and the ego you are able to hear the truth. You go against everything that feels natural to you to shift the paradigm. Life appears twenty-six shades of grey. Fantasy can be quite psychedelic. Fantasy is the drug of choice. Once it is gone. What is left?

-A void.

And Spirit fills the void. At first you can’t see it. It doesn’t fit. You fight against it, not wanting to accept that this is it. You are in detox. You can’t even let yourself imagine the high of the fantasy, although you crave it and miss it, taste it and feel it. The fantasy is bigger, brighter and explodes with brilliance. In reality, it is quiet, subtle and veiled in ego’s perception. At first you don’t trust it. Breathe.

The more you trust, the more you surrender. Then the deeper textures of reality unfold and surface. Before you know it, reality appears much richer than the fantasy ever seemed because there is substance. Reality becomes better than fantasy. Soon the fantasy is forgotten. You are detoxed.
