Saturday, 14. September 2024 – South Framantle, West Australia. Morning meditation session with music.
During this session it became obvious to me: Life is a circle.
We are born naked with an empty mind.
On our journey towards death our mind gets “filled up.”
(BTW death is not the opposite of life, birth is the opposite of death!)
It gets filled up by our parents, siblings, family, school, friends, media,
government, mentors …. You name it.
We need to digest this “information load” / conditioning.
And we need to learn to make sense of it.
This is our journey.
At some point, some kind of “becoming” sets in.
And we ask ourselves: Who am I?
And when we start digging deeper into ourselves,
we start unravelling our “conditioning”.
We start to disentangle all these layers of informations we’ve soaked in during our journey.
And work towards our liberation from all of this.
To become clear in our minds again.
We get rid of all the noise which this conditioning has produced.
And we see who we are.
And we see clear – without any filter – what and who is around us.
Our state of mind is just like we were born.
Yet, now we have experienced and lived through this.
We understood and liberated ourselves.
This brings satisfaction and wisdom.
And clarity.
It allows us to focus.
And get rid of what distracts us.
Is this awakening? I guess so.
Is this enlightenment? I am not sure.
Is this life? I guess yes.
Ideally we perish awakened.
Only then we understand we are going back into a new circle.
We lose the fear of being gone.
And understand that all is one.
