Ep. 42 Holding On vs Letting Go
In this episode I'll discuss my current project to declutter my house and how it's forcing me to deal with the balance between holding on to things and letting go. This turns out to be an important issue spiritually. This episode includes:
- The ego is primarily interested in holding onto things (especially power and control).
- Spiritual growth involves training the ego to let go.
- But sometimes holding on is what is needed and the timing matters a great deal.
- How I've found the balance between holding on and letting go in my long-term marriage.
- Why we need to rise above the duality of holding on vs letting go to master doing both at the same time.
