There’s a phenomenon that takes place in a person who consciously undergoes the process of personal growth…

They find that they are no longer a part of the world they once knew. Their life no longer fits into the world they came from. No matter what they do they are never able to go back to the “place” from whence they came.

What I’m talking about is not some kind of science fiction story line. I’m talking about a very real phenomenon that has happened to many people but few are willing to discuss it. It’s a very difficult thing to admit when you no longer have anything in common with the people and place that was once, your life.

It has happened to everyone who has every moved away from their home town and created a life somewhere else. Every time they come back to visit there is a growing sense of alienation. They are less able to relate to what was at one time, their life. Then one day something happens and their hometown becomes just a place they once lived.

Divorced people and those who have broken off relationships with others experience it too. Ask anyone who has been apart from a former significant other for many years. There is a feeling that the personal connection never happened. How could it be possible for two people, now so different, could have ever been so close.

As we move through the pages of our life and end a chapter, that dream that was our life, dissipates and loosens our connection to it. When this happens we experience a transformation that literally changes our consciousness. Since consciousness can be compared to a vibration, and the life we were living creates it’s own set of vibrations you could say that they are no longer able to vibrate in harmony…
