In this episode, we are talking an important aspect of any transformation – accepting and letting go of the old, before embracing the new.

• Why it is important
  • What we accumulate holds us back
  • Directionality – let go of what to move where? Changing the state of being
  • "Gods of one level are the demons of the next"
• What keeps us stuck?
  • Delusions – and acceptance as a path
  • Emotions that keep us back, and forgiveness as a way out.
  • When you don’t see an alternative
• Sequence of steps
  • Forgive the old before moving on – otherwise, you’ll keep being bound to the old
  • Denial, anger, sadness, acceptance (same sequence as for trauma)
  • If you don’t let go of the old, it will haunt you
  • Accepting, forgiving (if appropriate), finding an honorable closure, then moving on through a "rite of passage"
• Closing remarks
  • Don’t confuse forgiveness & acceptance with forgetting
  • Hardest to accept & forgive yourself
