It had been a month of highs and lows. Highs with family. Enjoying paradise with your children, their mother, Grand Parents, in a multi-generational harmony is just fabulous. Swimming in pristine waters, befriending turtles, octopi, eating clean fruits plucked moments before and breathing fresh air, has a way to totally reset the system. That's how my month began.
Then, there was the connection with old family that had been lost for a good 5 years. Misunderstandings and living on opposite sides of the globe had turned us apart. There was some real healing and mending of old wounds, without forcing it. Just spending time with loved ones and allowing nature to do the rest. Being patient with life.
After that it was an adventure to the unknown territory. One of the last bastions of freedom. It was a time reconnecting with some old friends and really connecting with the land there, spending time with cattle, horses, the hot searing sun, getting to know people in their own turf. This is very different from meeting the same people on neutral turf or befriending them online. It was real, it was visceral, it was playing guitar with them, sharing music and dreams. Imaging of a better future while sharing the challenges we all currently face.
From there I went to a sleepy backwater. And at the backwater I made a final union with the creator and awoke from the whole construct. The world was seen as Maya, both the good and the bad. Liberation for a moment and then the appreciation of the chains that hold us here. Creation is beautiful and we should all be grateful for life and cherish it with everything we have.
From there, another flight, and a visit to some very dark truths. I find this hard to even write about. What I saw with my own eyes and not through hearsay would have one accept homelessness or a passage to the other side as a mercy. It shook my core. Perhaps I exaggerate but it's been 3 days now and I can't shake the feeling.
There are dark things happening in the world and it is because we are either too blind or too chicken to face them. I saw the errors of my ways. I had been both… I had been a blind chicken.
And then I understood. Our fragile egos. They need to be taken care off. We need to be kind to others but honesty cannot and should not be compromised. First comes honesty to thyself.
To thyne own self be true.
It will go so so far as a cure. To awaken, nothing else is required. That is the solution you have been looking for, that miracle you wishing for. It is staring at you in the face.
It takes only a little courage to see it.
And that’s,
