Embracing the Shift: Why Our Old Selves Are Making Way for Something New

Have you ever felt like you are shedding layers of your identity, becoming something entirely new? In a recent reflection, author Judith Kusel shared a profound perspective on the current times, suggesting that “what we ever were before is dissolving.” This feeling of transition is becoming increasingly common as many of us navigate a period of significant personal growth and inner expansion. It is a time marked by letting go of the familiar to make room for a more authentic, multi-dimensional way of living.

This process can often feel overwhelming, as if we are traveling into the unknown. Kusel describes this experience as feeling like a “cosmic visitor,” a sentiment that resonates with those who feel their consciousness expanding beyond traditional boundaries. Rather than fearing this state of flux, it can be helpful to view it as a necessary evolution. As we outgrow our old patterns and beliefs, we are essentially clearing the space required to step into a higher version of ourselves.

The perceived chaos and uncertainty of the modern world are, in many ways, essential catalysts for this transformation. Nothing is etched in stone; everything around us is in a constant state of changing form. Much like the classic metaphor of the caterpillar turning into a butterfly, we are undergoing a profound metamorphosis. Just as a butterfly realizes it is no longer bound to the earth as a moth, we are beginning to realize that we possess new “wings”—new capabilities, insights, and ways of experiencing life that we never previously thought possible.

Ultimately, this phase of our journey is about embracing the vast potential within. By accepting that our previous iterations are dissolving, we become free to explore our true potential. Our cosmic exploration has only just begun, and the uncertainty we feel today is simply the growing pains of becoming who we were always meant to be. As we move forward, focusing on inner balance and openness will allow us to navigate these changes with grace and curiosity.

What We ever were Before – is Dissolving

By Judith Kusel

What we ever were before – is dissolving.

I have felt as if I have shed to many aspects of me in these last few weeks, that I have travelled lightyears into the unformed, yet formed.

The cosmic Soul within me, is embracing multi-dimensionality more and more, and it often feels more and more as if I am a cosmic visitor on earth.

This is indeed, what we are all growing and expanding into.

The seeming chaos, the seeming uncertainty, is exactly right for this momentous time.

For in truth nothing is consistent, nothing is written in stone, all is changing form.

We are out of now the moth turned into a newly born butterfly who suddenly realizes is is not a moth anymore, but a beautiful butterfly and has wings!

Our cosmic exploring has begun!
