So what sort of feeling do you have about 2013? You would be forgiven for thinking: “How am I supposed to know?” But as intuitive beings, we most definitely can get a feeling for things that have not yet happened to us. You might not think of yourself as an intuitive person, but let me assure you that you are. We all are. You can read more about that here.
I’ve been wondering for some time now about 2013 and what I feel around it, so here is how I see it.
2013 certainly feels new and different in an interesting and dynamic kind of way that the preceding years, even 2012, haven’t. It definitely feels as though the old has dropped away, and I feel as though I’ve shed my skin and I’m stepping out of any residual conformity and into originality – the originality of Who I Really Am – which goes hand-in-hand with transparency.
Because this is what we have to do to be transparent. Being transparent is laying ourselves bare, and this seems an extremely scary thing to do. I learnt this when I was climbing Everest, because when you are pushed to the limits as I was then, there is no room for the ego, there is no room to be anything other than who you really are. You can’t pretend you’re stronger or better than you are, you can’t hide from yourself. To climb Everest I really did have to let the facade drop, let the guard down and it wasn’t easy to completely let it all go.
In fact that was probably the hardest part of climbing the mountain. But once I had done all that, once I had let go of all resistance and pretence of being anything other than who I really was, then climbing to the summit was almost easy in comparison. Equally I also know that, if I hadn’t let go and ‘given in’ to just being me, then I wouldn’t have got to the summit. I would have been one of those many people who found an excuse to give up and go home because keeping up the pretence was too difficult, but they couldn’t face ‘revealing’ themselves – which is what they would have had to do if they had stayed, in order to reach the top.
