Netism states that the single biggest barrier people face that blocks them from ascension is the inability to forgive. Letting go is essential to our happiness now, as well as to our spirit’s ultimate path. We cannot pass on to the immaterial realms when we are still preoccupied with the material.

We all have things that are difficult to let go of.
For some, it is the need to control. Some people have a death grip on independence, and others are the same way with relationships.
Nearly everyone struggles to let go of their concept of self. We are, in many ways, addicted to our identities. This often comes at a cost, as in saying, “I am no good at math,” then proceeding to do poorly on an exam. We would rather have proof of our repeated failures than boundary-defying success. Our ego comes with a curse: our identity must be defended, no matter the cost.

I have to practice exercises in letting go daily; otherwise, I get caught up in cycles of perfectionism mixed with a lot of stress.
I have to remind myself that I can control my emanations, but not how others respond or what gets reflected back to me. Interestingly, the more I learn to alter my emanations, the more my environment, including the people in it, shifts too.
Everything is connected.

Are you struggling to let go of something in your life?

I definitely struggle with letting go of control and also my concept of self in the way you explained it. I struggle with letting go of certain things and people from my past. I currently struggle with letting go of other people not following our boundaries and not reacting to them.

Letting go is hard for me I feel like if I let go of trying to control things all the chaos in my life will turn into a full on riot but I know that’s not really the case. In other parts of my life I let go of a lot, let go of what people thought of me, that was the hardest lesson I had to overcome in my life not everyone supports my marriage or my lifestyle but I cant let that get to me and I dont anymore. I let go of other peoples opinions and value mine and the people I let into my life and I couldnt be happier for it.
