Why You Can Never Go Back to Zero (But You Can Go to Zero)
Earlier this week I shared my story about hitting reset. But the more I reflected, the more I realized something powerful:
We can never truly go back to zero.
And that’s actually a good thing.
The Levels of Consciousness
During Covid, I came across the idea of the four levels of consciousness:
- Poor Me – the victim state. Life happens to me. Unfortunately, this is where most people live, often without realizing it.
- By Me – the “push” state. Life happens by Me. Decisions, willpower, discipline. Very masculine energy, and very effective… but it edges out flow.
- Through Me – co-creation with the Universe. Things align, synchronicities show up, miracles unfold.
- As Me – unity consciousness, the deepest level of alignment.
Looking back, I realized I had spent much of my early life in “Poor Me” — and when I broke free from that, I overcorrected straight into “By Me.”
The hustle. The grind. The do it all myself energy.
And even though I had already experienced glimpses of “Through Me” — those effortless flows where the Universe seemed to be working with me — I would still slide back into old patterns. Subconsciously.
Why Resetting Matters
That’s why choosing to reset matters so much.
When I pause and consciously reset, it’s not about “starting over.” Because the truth is, you can’t. Every experience, every skill, every challenge has shaped you. You bring all of that wisdom forward.
But what you can do is return to zero.
The Power of Going to Zero
In Ho’oponopono, “zero” is the space of infinite possibility. Like a whiteboard wiped clean.
Meditation, prayer, journaling — these are ways of tuning back into zero.
From zero, we receive inspired guidance. We reconnect with our higher purpose. We align with the flow of infinite intelligence.
And because we carry our accumulated knowledge and growth with us, each reset doesn’t take us “back to the beginning.” It actually elevates us to a higher level.
Bringing It All Together
So here’s the paradox:
- You can never go back to zero, because you’ll always carry everything you’ve gained.
- But you can always go to zero, and from there, rise even higher.
That’s the sweet spot.
