A maze
Of ideas,
Assumptions,
Words…
A maze you created…
Like the spider getting tangled on her own cobweb!
The light
Creates
the shadow,
And you create the form….
With the form came the idea,
With the idea, came the word,
With the word, came the name…
Like a spider tangled on her own cobweb!!
Everything has a name…
Everything can be named.
What once was
An abstract pattern
Of light and shadows
Moving and changing constantly
Before your eyes…
Now,
Those patterns have names…
You gave them form,
Function, utility…
You created an idea!
And with this idea
You created walls
And boxes
And little
By little
You locked your self in…
And became
Really scared
And terrified
Of the outside…
And the more terrified
You became
The more boxes
To protect your self
You built.
And you keep building,
More boxes, one after another one…
More names,
More words,
More ideas…
Something that allows you
To dream
Of stability
Something that allows you to feel
As if you know ‘what’s going on”…
But all of the sudden
Something happens!
A relative dies…
There is an earthquake….
You are diagnosed with cancer…
You lost your job…
All of the sudden
The ground below your feet
Starts to shake
And you feel
As if you are
Falling
Falling
Falling….
And then you realized
That the ‘safe’ house you built
For your self
Turns into nothing
Cause something bigger
Something out of your control
Is in power…
Something else
Will come
And shake your house,
Remove the ground from your feet
And you
Fall
Fall
Fall…
Unless…
You try to train your wings..
Unless
You are ready…
How?
Well
By trying to remember
Little by little
Everyday
Remember
The beginning..
Remember
Who are you
Before…
Before the name
Before the word
Before the idea...
Look at everything
As if you never seen it before.
The familiar
Turn it into the
Unfamiliar…
The chair..
What would this chair be to me
If I didn’t know it was a chair?
See it,
Experience
The abstract nature
Of the thing
Around you…
Experience
The change
Experience the
Emptiness…
Walk
Away from the idea
Forget the name…
Forget so you can
REMEMBER!
You built a maze…
And you got lost.
Lost your path,
Lost your memory…
Now you forget…
But the fact that you forgot
Didn’t alter anything…
You are still there…
In the middle of a big nothing…
Patterns of light and shadows
Dancing and changing constantly…
Since they are nothing,
They have no name,
No limits…no edges…
They are nothing!!
They are the void…
light
And shadows
Constantly moving in front of your eyes…
But you have forgotten
And now you are scared
Scared to see what; really is going on.
You have made an assumption
and don’t want to let go of it…
You want to keep dreaming
Dreaming with the stability..
Dreaming with the floor below your feet…
Dreaming that you are walking on something solid
Dreaming of the house…
Of the buildings,
Of the rooms,
Of the body..
Of the containers..
Of the cars, the money, the titles, job etc.
Dreaming….
Dreaming…that you found an answer
Convincing your self
That you know ‘what’s going on”
So
You don’t stop to ask
Any more..
Cause is safer this way…
This dream makes it safe…
This dream is
Makes you feel ‘grounded’
Doubting that dream,
Makes you feel as if
The ground is moving…
Makes you feel as if there is nothing to hang onto…
So you feel empty,
You feel as if you are
Falling
Falling
Falling…
The Problem is,
That whether you want to accept it or not…
The ground has moved…
The ground is moving
Constantly…
there is nothing underneath your feet.
Regardless of whether you want to admit it or not…
YOU are
Falling
Falling
Falling
Unless…
You make your way out…
Soon…
The piece of floor is going to be removed from your feet..
And you are going to be confronted with the fact
That you have been walking
In the void…
A VOID…
And then
Maybe….
Just maybe…
You will realize
That you wasted your time learning how to walk…
When what you really needed to learn was
Learn
How
To
Fly!!
How
To train your wings…
So you don’t
Fall
When
You are
Confronted
With
The objective
Reality of your existence.
How do you learn how to fly?
Let’s start by trying to forget so we can remember…
Forget the solid ground
Remember the big void…
Forget the boxes…
Erase the ideas
And try to look
To look at it
RIGHT HERE
RIGHT NOW
Look
Is moving
Is only
Light and
Shadows
Is nothing…
Nothing…
The more you remember
The more you look
The more you extend your wings…
Walk away from the world of assumptions,
From the maze of ideas, and words.
For one single moment
Try to remember
That you really don’t know shit!!
For one single moment
Feel the void
Below your feet
Around you
Above you…
Feel the void…
Outside of you and inside you..
When you feel it…
Consciously
You take control..
Is YOU who remove the ground below your feet
YOU determine
Which way to go…
YOU become the pilot
Of this trip…
YOU…
YOU!!
Start training your wings…
Start training your self
To see
As
If you
Haven’t seen anything
As
If you
Don’t know
Anything…
As if
You
Are
Spinning
With the dice
Before
It falls…
