What Exactly Does ‘Letting Go’ Mean?

I originally learned letting go as bringing up emotions or memories from the past, holding them and letting them dissipate. But this week has been different – I find myself letting go more into the understanding, into God. Does letting go mean letting go of the past or letting go into understanding? Rupert says: ‘It’s really just letting go of whatever your current experience is, whatever you are giving your attention to at any moment – a thought, an emotion, a situation in the world, a physical sensation, a narrative, a relationship – that’s preventing you from subsiding into being. If you let go of the entire content of your experience, your attention has to go back to its source, which is being, or awareness.’
