We are all on a journey to connect and unify with Source, All That Is/ the Divine. What we discover as we progress, however,  is that there is no real separation between our self and the Divine. We realize that our experience in this plane of existence as a separate individual has been an illusion, a dream.  We come to understand and know that we are All That Is, but are simultaneously  experiencing a collective dream with other divine fragments  in which we  are also separate ”selves.”  What provides us with opportunities to awaken from this collective dream so that we may experience  and express our Divine Self, are trials and difficulties.  These periods of difficulty can initiate us into a higher level of wisdom, strength, joy, freedom and power if we see them for the amazing opportunities they are and make the  changes we need to in order to reach this level. 

 One of our most challenging initiations is when we find we are suddenly being pushed to let go of our birth family or major support group. This happens when we find our self at odds with the accepted ideas, beliefs, ways of thinking, acting and behaving in our main support group. When this happens, don’t waste your energy trying to make the other people in your group change, concentrate on the fact that you have changed and are now ready to experience your life and relationships at a higher vibrational frequency, meaning, you want to experience a greater level of  honesty, joy, freedom, independence, peace, love, fun, harmony,  and/or equality,  

So, always allow other people to be who they want to be and don’t make them wrong just because you have decided their behaviour or way of living doesn’t suit you any longer. Know, however,  that if you heed the call of your soul,  which always speaks to you through your heart,  through your deepest feelings and longings, and leave your support group  (or give yourself time and space away from them)  you are giving yourself an incrdible opportunity to break free from your social conditioning, your old roles,  and the old, limited version of your self.

The Gift in Separating From Our Support Group. 

It  is only when we do step outside our main support  group or birth family, and the familiar roles we have played within that group, that we  begin to break free of our social conditioning and start to find out who we truly are, what we truly believe, and most important of all, what  in our heart and soul, we truly want and yearn for. We also discover  whether we can stand alone in life without  being held up, or validated and approved of by those we have always  depended and relied on to do so. 

The most valuable gift of all, perhaps, when we let go of our birth family, is that without the people we have always  used as our authority and wisdom figures, we finally learn how to go within  and connect with Source. When we do this we find that there, and only there,  deep within our self, is all of the wisdom, guidance, strength and power, we will ever need. This realization brings us to the point of wisdom where we see that only we, know what is right for us, only we know what will make us happy. No-one else can do this for us.

And this lesson, once we have learned it, that only we ourselves know what is right, true  and good for us, marks our shift into heart-based living.  So, even though it  takes courage to set off  alone into the unknown as we embark on our own hero or heroine’s journey, the rewards far outweigh any anxiety and discomfort we might feel on this stage of our journey. To be free of our conditioning, free of what keeps us dependent, small, irresponsible  and limited is, you will find,  worth it. 

There is a lot more information on the subject of leting go of your birth family or main  support group in the following two channelled articles if you care to read them. Themes such as  Lightworkers and their family relationships,  clearing up family karma, and leaving behind your social and family conditioning, among others,  are covered.
