Spfpp 392: Navigating Rejection With Herpes - Attach And Release

When Thanos pushed Gamora off that cliff to get the Soul stone, for the first time, you see the villain shed a tear’s worth of remorse for the chaos he caused. That opening line may have nothing to do with rejection on the surface, but it has everything to do with how attach and release works. We pour time, energy, presence, money, awareness, and resources all into a space and what manifests is a the form of something we can attach an identity for ourselves to. Thanos spared Gamore, nurtured her, taught her to survive, fight, and became the highest honorable identity to her, her father. Gamora, Thanos’ adopted daughter becomes the form, or container in which that identity invests emotionally into. That emotional intensity that was shaped by Gamora’s presence held the charge that, when removed (by death), freed up that investment so that it could take the form of something more aligned with Thanos now that he’s no longer got a daughter and he is not a father. That energy took the form of the soul stone. That was the trade off.

The thing we fear being rejected for carries that same emotional charge, that if freed up would give us what we want when we can release it AND the identity formed that doesn’t align any longer with our new state of being shaped by the attachment we created. This episode highlights a little bit of quantum physics an as I learn to practice this language, I welcome any feedback or creticism about the topic so I can be on point with what I’m trying to bring into light now!
