Feeling Lost Between Phases of Life

Many years ago, I was feeling completely lost.

I felt like I didn't have purpose in life.

I asked one of my coaches for advice. She showed me a video of what happens when you put sand on top of a plate and play loud frequencies through it.

The sand starts to form patterns according to the frequency of the sound.

The higher the frequency, the more complex the pattern becomes.

Let's look at some examples.

This is obviously extremely fascinating, but why was my coach showing me this?

It turns out there's a profound insight hidden in the sand. Notice that when the frequency rises and the sand forms a new pattern, it's not an instant transition.

Look at the following pattern, going from a frequency of 3835 hz to 3975 hz.

The pattern disintegrates first.

After a few moments, a more intricate pattern manifests.

The insight

"Your life works the same way", she told me.

"As you learn, experience and develop as a human, your frequency rises. When it does, your life changes and you won't feel like yourself anymore. You're on another level.

However, moving to the next level isn't done in an instant.

First, there's a period of disintegration and chaos. When you're feeling lost, you're in the midst of it. The only way to deal with it is to put one foot in front of the other, trusting that a new pattern is forming."

It doesn't matter if you interpret this literally or metaphorically, the next pattern of your life will certainly be even more intricate, and even more beautiful.
