It is said that in order to change we have to reach the bottom. Transformation can't began otherwise. Change is very difficult. Most of the time, life has to leave us no choice in order for us to change.
There's an analogy with the seed by Osho:
"The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed."
The same with us. Often, we are afraid to change because change means going into the unknown. It is much easier to keep safe in the status quo. It may be uncomfortable or we may feel that things need to be different but it is our comfort zone and that comfort zone we know.
The same with the seed. The seed is fine in the soil. It is warm and secure. In order to become a flower, it has to grow through the ground and leave the comfort of her place, but only then, will she be able to become what she was suppose to be, and feel the wind and the warmth of the sun.
Before she was in darkness but she didn't know. Only when she's forced out, she can discovers the light and become a flower.
The same with the baby coming out of his mother wound, the caterpillar becoming the butterfly or anything who goes through transformation.
We need this passage into the nothingness in order to build something new.
We have to let go of the past. Say goodbye. Mourn on what has been and rejoice on what will be. Not easy. Especially when we have no idea of what is ahead. We need to take the steps forward and walk on trust and faith. Let go of the fear and have courage.
Meditate, pray.
Like Columbus said: You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose the sight of the shore
