At the threshold you are ready to step into a new incarnation of yourself. The old you dissolves and the seed of the new you begins to take shape.
Be gentle with yourself and take your time moving forward. It may seem as if your first steps begin to appear magically before you. There is nothing to do but trust that you have already dreamt the future vision of your life. Move forward on one activated present moment at a time.
There comes a time when the pain of continuing exceeds the pain of stopping. At that moment, a threshold is crossed. What seemed unthinkable becomes thinkable. Slowly, the realization emerges that the choice to continue what you have been doing is the choice to live in discomfort, and the choice to stop what you have been doing is the choice to breathe deeply and freely again. Once that realization has emerged, you can either honor it or ignore it, but you cannot forget it. What has become known cannot become unknown again.
-Gary Zukav
All beginnings are delightful; the threshold is the place to pause.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1747-1842)
This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath.
-Margaret Atwood
To be lovingly present through the primal, naked pain that marks aspects of birth, and to be lovingly present through the difficult, heart-wrenching ending that marks aspects of death, is to learn about life and love. Fear may be strong but love is stronger. Learning how to love includes learning how to make room for and transform fear. Learning how to live involves learning how to die. Love alone is the most potent power illuminating the breath’s journey in between these thresholds. Love is the key. Love is the dance.
-Amy Wright
Lack of comfort means we are on the threshold of new insights.
-Lawrence M. Krauss
There is something else that is trying to come through – that lure of becoming – and it does come from the realm of spirit, it does come from the quantum universe, it does come from the great spark that is the threshold of time and history trying to emerge and electrify us.
-Jean Houston
Reading:
At the threshold you take a look back at everything you have cherished, everything that has challenged and interested you, and everything that has weighted you down and limited you. With slight hesitation, you peek your nose through the doorway to smell the fresh air of possibility with a swirl of exhilaration.
Let the energies of expansion and freedom motivate you to open your arms embracing the future, ready to fly. Meditate on the tetrahedron, a sacred geometrical shape. Allow it to help you bring forth the fire of ambition within you along with the understanding of what it will take to bring ideas and projects for your Highest Good to fruition.
