“What does it mean to drift up? You don’t feel as much anger, fear or self-consciousness… You don’t close or get tight as often. Things still happen that you don’t want to happen, but they don’t seem to touch you as much. They can’t reach back to where you are because you’ve drifted behind the part of you that reacts to things. These are actual experiences, not merely something you were told about. It’s just what naturally happens when you let go of the lower vibrations of your being. You drift in and up to the deeper vibrations.” (T.U.S., p. 174)
As Michael talks about so often throughout his book, this path towards higher levels of consciousness is about letting go of the personal self and all of it's reactions, expectations... We notice what the psyche is saying but we do not pay attention. It is not a matter of changing what the psyche is saying (the psyche will always be rattling on about something, usually something that is wrong in your life), it is about noticing what the psyche is saying and then letting it go.
The part of this process that I resist the most is allowing myself to experience the unwanted feelings. My initial reaction is often to avoid or distract myself from the feelings or to try to fix the situation so that the feelings go away. To truly be on this path we must be willing to face our feelings and the thoughts that accompany them.

Michael suggests letting go of the personal self and putting your awareness on the highest state that you can imagine, knowing that you are much more than what the limited psyche is saying and allowing the magnificence that you are to unfold!
