Do you box people in with labels?
Present moment listening
A forgotten art
We're lost in the next best thing
Living in the age of loneliness
Have you boxed yourself in with your own
Unfulfilled expectations?
A neutral stance is still a stance
We make choices every moment of every day
What are we most afraid of?
"We're most afraid of our own power."
I'm not trying to preach
No more rescuers or do-gooders
It's only in the deep dive into ones shadow
That the truth is revealed
The dream is as real as the waking moments
There is no wasted time
I saw the world through a million different eyes when I lost my mind
My young ego was obliterated before it was barely formed.
'This is just the way things are.'
I don't have the power to change.
But it's not up to me
There's got to be something more than this.
I danced between the nothingness and a life of meaning. I danced between God being a figment of my imagination & the transcendence of a universal spirit. I danced between giving it my all and not caring about anything anymore. Both were valid, yin-yang. I discovered a universe of dicotomies.
I walked into the Hall of mirrors, every fear and hope reflected back...both a spiritual act and meaningless happening by accident. The truth is, whatever you think is truth is right.
That's the trick and we are all screaming over one another. Our truths crashing into one another in a chaotic melody.
But into our shadows we have refused to go. I lost that choice when my ego died. I was blessed in the inability to have a nuetral stance. Either I faced my shadow or my shadow would kill me. Death to self is true freedom. But it comes with a cost.
Freedom is also power...walking on water.
This power can just as easily turn into your own destruction if not faced with courage.
Life is more than just Rorschach tests
You are exactly where you soul intended for you to be.
Listen
It's not any different for anyone else. In all the nuance of life, there is a stream of consciousness running through us all.
