Raw Conversations with Corinne Blum Corinne Blum

We’re going through huge evolutionary shifts and I believe we’re being invited, if not sometimes lovingly forced, to live in the present moment.

The old way of projecting into the future as if it were a linear straight shot, doesn’t seem to work anymore. I’m not sure it ever did but we were certainly made to believe that’s how we should see life.

So some of us might be experiencing not knowing what’s next. Not having all the ducks in a row. Not having life be predictable and in control. Many of us are experiencing the opposite. But in that, we’re learning the art of letting go, having radical trust and radical faith and seeing that when we let go and trust fall into the arms of faith, miracles appear.

But part of present moment living will bring us face to face with our ego that is familiar with wanting to control the direction and outcome of our life, and that when under stress, gets triggered into survival mode. So how do we offer love even to our ego which so often gets a bad rap? To not vilify it but utilise it to its greatest, most constructive potential, and place it into a harmonious partnership with our soul?

It’s hard to wait for anything, let alone love. We can oscillate from fully enjoying our lives on our own to falling into great impatience, frustration and even despair that what we’re wanting, is just not showing up…yet.

What can we do in the emotional stew of it all?

Well, as with everything, it’s how we ‘be with’ our experience that either makes the journey a struggle or more fluid. Our beliefs and perspective too, have a great influence not only on our outlook but our present moment experience as we “wait.” 

Love, attachment, co-dependency, all get triggered in the process of waiting for love. It takes doing the inner work, facing our shadow and our wounds from childhood, showing up with compassion and choosing how we want to perceive our present experience as we move towards the future we want to manifest.

In this episode I talk about the very real and human experience of waiting, all the emotions and beliefs that can come up along the way and how to keep our eye on the higher path, if you will.

We’re shifting out of the paradigm of fear and moving into one of faith. But faith isn’t a controlled execution. We don’t say we’re taking a leap of faith and then announce our strategy to get there as if it were some mathematical equation with a particular answer. It’s a leap of faith because we’re stepping, leaping, into an unknown.

When we let go of trying to control life, others, ourselves—and trust, that actually by letting go we’re tuning into our own gps system, our own guidance system that is led by our soul, The Creator Of All That Is, you name it—we’re tuning in, and and harmonising with, that which is always leading and guiding us if we just allow it.

So the question no longer is one of who or what is in control? But rather, am I in harmony, and in partnership with, that which is guiding me? In the letting go of control we realise that letting go doesn’t mean we’re out of control. It actually means we’re in a far greater sense of true safety, because we’re allowing ourselves to be held by the unknown, and the magic that exists within that space, which we’re learning to take a leap of faith into.

From that place we get to live authentically because all of a sudden we’re understanding the entire macro context that we’re existing in. Then we understand the seed of who we are in the midst of the vastness of it all.

It sounds far out, perhaps, but it’s all a process of curiosity, exploration and discovery. And in that process there is relief, magic and a knowing that we are threaded into and held by a web of life that connects us all. When we feel held, there is not need for control because there is nothing to fear.

We are in a partnership with our spiritual being and our human being, looking to find collaboration, harmony and learning between both. I think spirituality often gets misconstrued for being a path that has to overcome our humanity—as if our human was something bad or wrong or something to transcend because it isn’t “spiritual—but I believe our humanity is the vehicle for our spiritual growth.

There’s a reason we chose to be human and therefore there is a purpose for our human traits. Our emotions, feelings, wounds, shadows and gifts; they are all teachers.

If we want to spiritually grow and evolve, we have to walk hand in hand with our humanity as equals. Two aspects that need each other to learn and grow. Our human self needs the inspiration, guidance and expansiveness of our spiritual being in order to grow and evolve. Our spiritual being equally needs our human self to grow and evolve through the arc of human emotion, struggle, suffering, vulnerability and so much more.

To spiritually bypass is to forget and leave behind (or worse, neglect and push away) our humanity. But we will not spiritually evolve if we don’t embody our humanity.

We are letting go of old paradigms of thinking and perceiving. There is nothing wrong or bad about your humanity. There is nothing evil about your emotions. You are not broken and you don’t need to be fixed. You are already whole, both between your divinity and your humanity coming together. All the pieces that feel fragmented but are not in fact broken, get to come together through the embracement of your entire self; both spiritual and human.

A great gift of being human is the ability to alchemise and through alchemy, our soul gets to evolve. This is a partnership not a competition. There is no better or worse, only equal, only companions walking this path of growth together, side by side, one within the other.

So the invitation is to know that you are both. To love both, equally. To take both and learn and teach the other through the unique wisdom of both the spiritual and human perspective. Knowing of course, that all is One. All is interconnected. All is a vehicle and catalyst for growth, expansion and the evolution of consciousness itself.

Hitting rock bottom can come about for many reasons and there are many gifts in it, too. It might come from an accumulation of stress, overwhelm, struggle, or it might come as an invitation to truly trust, surrender and let go. And too, sometimes, even though they say that the Universe will only hand you what you can handle, we get to say, “Enough” and draw a line in the sand.

Sometimes it all can feel like too much and we really can’t bear anymore. Sometimes it has to do with our individual journey. But we are also connected to a collective pulse and what we are moving through as a collective being, right now, is immense.

The beauty of rock bottom is in the letting go. It’s also in the realisation that the obstacle is the way. That sometimes what we’re moving through is the very thing that will lead us to our gift.

There’s a softness that comes through and out of the other side if we can just sit with the discomfort of the crumbling and allow ourselves to relinquish control and land in the fertile soil of rock bottom.

We’ve all been there, I am sure. But it’s what we take from it, the fruits we can harvest, the lessons we glean wisdom from and the space of liberation we can expand through on the other side of struggle, pain, suffering and coming truly face to face with ourselves and the Divine tapestry of existence.

This and and so much more.

This episode is really just a story—it just happens to be mine—of being human. And sometimes sharing our stories, the mundane, the dramatic and the beautiful, is important. It helps us know that we’re not alone in our own version and story of being human.

We’ve strongly been indoctrinated to believe that there is something more powerful than us outside of us. Whether it’s the voice of authority, our parents, peers, God or even the Universe. We can have the tendency to believe something outside of us knows better, will praise or punish us, is teaching us lessons sometimes kindly and sometimes cruelly.

What we don’t realise is that we are not separate to what we seek guidance from. We are it. We are God, the Universe, Consciousness etc. We are it and we’re co-creating with it. We’ve simply been taught not to trust ourselves, that some higher authority knows better than our own inner knowing and wisdom. We’ve even been severed from source and told we need a middle man to get us there. All of this is something we have to unlearn.

In that context, we fall into the duality of right and wrong, good and bad, succeeding and failing, praise and punishment.

This isn’t a test. We’re not being graded. But we do get to choose what we learn from our experience. We do get to choose how we perceive it and how we respond to it. But no one outside of you has greater authority. No one can tell you how you should live your life, not even God, Spirit or the Source of all that is.

We’re shedding old paradigms and belief systems. We’re learning to trust ourselves again. We’re learning to let go of judgment and most importantly, we’re learning to be more loving, kind and compassionate with ourselves. We’re learning how to value ourselves again for the beautiful beings we are, having this wild and crazy experience of life and being human.

Go gently. Go kindly. We’re unlearning and remembering what’s true, once more.
