Trust, Surrender, and Clearing Space for the New Earth
Hot night’s sleep. Sweating, restless. My dreams slipped away before I could catch them.
I moved through my morning practices feeling heavier than usual. There’s a lot on my plate, and I haven’t been as productive as I’d like. Uncertainty hangs in the air — not as fear, but as an awareness that I’m building a life piece by piece, and many parts are still in motion.
I used to run from the UK to anywhere that promised escape, even if it drained my finances. I’d worry endlessly about where the next bit of money would come from. Now, here in Sri Lanka, it’s different. Life isn’t expensive. I’m learning skills that help people, planting seeds for projects that will take time to mature. This is the work of The New Earth — trusting, surrendering, and letting go while tending to what truly matters.
I know myself: if I’m inspired, my focus sharpens; if not, my mind can drift into the clouds. Today’s focus is to complete the first section of the book, tie it to the brief model, and weave in the channeled notes.
The day will also bring a gym session, a conversation with someone from the cleanse team, and smaller tasks that need handling before they pile up. This weekend, I’ll clear physical space — throwing out what’s no longer needed, packing away what I won’t touch for a while, and making room to feel light and ready to fly.
It’s all part of the same process: clearing the inner garden so parasites — whether in body, mind, or spirit — have no place to take root.
