Moral dilemma series- part 4: ‘Let go, but what and how?’

The siren of ‘let go’ has been blasting continuously in the world of the Law of Attraction, ever since the book of ‘The Secrets’ became popular; even though the topic of universal laws existed and preached by many religions for centuries before.
With the augment of technological influence in our lives, it’s been the mandatory mantra of all the media pundits and authors on this subject. The most circulated generic message preaches us to let go of all the negative thoughts, to raise positive vibrations. Sound familiar? I am not surprised, since everyone on the subject of self-development talks about the magic of ‘let go’.
The difference between the old traditional religious sermon to the neo-spiritualistic magic of empowering an individual is through mastering letting go. In my view, such are just flat statements, like affirmations, which do have a ‘feel’ good’ factor for the duration of reading the message, but soon one finds that one is none the wiser. Why? Because we are told what the destination should be, without any indication of showing the right route, except for a few made-believe techniques which are hit and miss, at the very best. Let go is a way of life, and not a temporary chain of different rituals.  
As a beginner, I wanted to know exactly what am I supposed to let go in my life? And how?  
Popular answers in circulation were (and still are): let go of all Negativity? But what is defined as negativity? Could it be a mere reflection of the inside state of mind or an opinionated view of the outside? Let go of the Past? But how far is the past? For example, the past can be motivating history, our roots, and important lessons gathered by experience of time. So, the formula can’t be generic for everyone. Let go of Toxic people? But could it be intolerant of others, or perhaps misunderstanding own righteousness?
So on and so forth.
Please do not just read and listen to the fashionable slogan of ‘let go’ as a generalised solution for all the problems. It’s a technique by which one must minutely analyse and select what to release, how much, and how far. Make it relevant to your current issue, understand what you think as ‘negative’- is it really a problem, or a projection of your own stressful mind? If you’ve proved something to be in fact negative, beyond doubt, then work at the best way of eradicating it from your life. Remember, if you get negative vibes from a source – a person, an issue, a place, or whatever else- ruminate within your own self with controlled unbiased emotions, and if the vibes still exist, then consider that you are on the right track. However, if the decision is impulsive and your emotions shout louder than the gut feeling, then the negativity is in your own mindset, and it’ll require another set of measures to reset the thoughts. ‘Let go’ of any pessimistic aspect would require objective vision, patient analysis, and practical sacrifice. So, it’s not a magic spell, but a deep thought and careful decision.
Let’s now view how to relinquish toxicity in life. First ask yourself, impartially,  are people being toxic, or are your expectations of them unreal? Be unbiasedly selective to save the past what continues to serve your purpose, but separate only what ceases to be purposeful in your life. Spring clean your memory box regularly, and keep it clean- just like your email account.   
So, the prescriptive sources of ‘let go’ would raise more questions than answers in the beginning. This is a positive start. Seek the answers to each question, before deciding what to let go. Let go of your impulsive instincts, to begin with, and what remains in the mind is the patience which is imperative for making a wise choice. This is real empowerment of your mind and thoughts – complete emancipation.
So, with the self-taught experience, I would recommend grounding your mind to ‘think’ unequivocally before making any choice in life, because letting go means choosing what resonates with you, and discarding what does not. Let go is a state of the right mind. This would enlighten one ‘how’ to let go too, by default. However, it’s easier said than done – for real. Practice makes it better, though.
Now the next question would be – How to practise to ground the ever fleeting mind? Even though I have written substantially in the previous posts about the challenge, this topic deserves further in-depth discussion.  
I’ve written this article in response to the emails I have received from my regular readers on the subject. This post is just a synopsis of the vast topic; so in addition, I would highly recommend reading my book- ‘The 3Fs of the Law of Attraction’ to get a 3D view of this topic. The book offers step by step guide to practice to ground, in order to perfect your thinking. It simplifies the explanation by quoting real life examples and situations from day-to-day life, which resonate with most people. I would like to stress that money is not my motive to recommend the reading since the price of the book is the lowest that Amazon allows to cover their cost of printing, which means that I get ‘nothing’ in royalty.
I wish a sincere spiritualist to progress and enjoy the fruits of the universal laws, to manifest a fulfilling life. We share and help one another in the spiritual voyage. Wishing you all a happy emancipation.
