Spectacular. Beautifully written! So important to remind that spiritual seeking is not at all different from any other sort of seeking - relationships, money, fame - whatever. Truth Is, and simply watching reveals itself. Thank you J.
On a surface level, I care very deeply about perception. How I look. How I’m read. How I construct identity. I crave beauty, but I also crave being seen inside the beauty.
Your level of detachment and clarity, it’s beyond me. But maybe not impossible. I’m still at the stage where I enjoy the trap. I like the surface. I like how beauty arrests the room. I like the power of it, even when it’s shallow. I like the mirror.
And I don’t know what that means spiritually. AmI just a base creature? Is that my truth? And if so… is that wrong? Or just naïve?
I indulge all of the performance. Sex, fear, anger, desire. I know that in most philosophies this puts me at the lowest tier of being. Still bound by hunger. Still ruled by my body.
But here’s the thing:
I want the metaphysical… I think. I desire depth. I want to know the self beyond the self.
But I also… like the physical. I don’t want to renounce it to get free.
So I’m sitting here in that in-between. Watching you move with all this ease, this unbothered slowness, and wondering if I’ll ever learn or become the Watcher.
Thank you for writing this piece. I will ruminate on it today while out and about but This was just something I needed to say out loud to someone who might understand.
I love this comment. From the mind’s perspective that lives “in time” and has the option to “evolve“, western spirituality may classify the one who enjoys their life, without seeking to transcend personhood, as a base level being. But the whole point of this essay is to illustrate that the absolute is always living its myth, whether consciously awakened to the myth or not. The sigil IS the Godhead. And that includes all form. You as a person ARE you as the Godhead.
It’s up to you whether to place attention on the form (the dance of Maya) or the Godhead, and reality will unfold itself in accordance with that focal point. Personhood isn’t wrong but its dramas are all-consuming and entirely false. This is why we who have exited the story write pieces like this—as a clarion call to those ripe for the trap door. 🤣 But NOTHING is wrong. Enjoy humanness! Nothing exists outside of the Eternal.
Thank you for making this FREE & not kept behind a pay wall. I am new to Spirituality and everything woo-woo. There are too many Gurus out there that command thousands of dollars for teachings. I see a need for a mentor, for sure and want to Balance the inner knowing/remembering with it!
