Can you empty yourself of the story? That is the key to no longer suffering. “But who am I without my story?” you exclaim, and we answer, why, the soul you always have been, the soul you return to when the body dies, and the soul you were before you came into the body. The soul is continuous. The story is exactly what a story is: a chapter or a volume in a series of ongoing experiences. If you can divest yourself at the soul awareness level of the elements of the story that are holding you back from finding peace, then peace reveals itself, which means that peace is always and already here. Hold onto the parts of the story that serve you. Empty yourself of those that do not. And while you are at it, identify those aspects of others’ stories you have bought into that disturb the peace. Are you catching on to how to heal the self? You are so very loved.
