Mask of Knowing



I’m writing this to acknowledge, the many times I’ve felt lost; they have all been gifts to start the next chapter of life. I can only speak for myself, & I’m finding the less I attach to beliefs or stories of how I think things are, the pure & authentic are shown. If I’m honest with myself, what do I really know at all? Even the story I’m telling now, has a form to it, & that is okay. I can only point in the direction with words. The mind can become very complex in thoughts. Some say this is intellect or knowledge. I rather feel to understand the essence of consciousness, is to take off the mask of all the thought structures that have been passed on which no longer serve in my quest for the purest form of truth I can currently experience. I feel I don’t want a religion, or a psychological strategy. If I do want anything, it is to be thankful for the silence & what is between the silence; to be thankful for the forms, & what has no form. To blend, to divide, to integrate, & separate; we all do this & it is healthy when done with consideration for others & our self. Whether this is an awakening, I don’t know. I’ll just take one step at a time each day; the actions I take on a morality base, or any kind of understanding that shows love, kindness, caring, or the characteristics I would want life to show me. If you’ve read this, thank you, I appreciate your time to hear another’s voice. I’ll honor it, by quieting my own agenda (& yes, we all have one) so I can hear something other than what I think I know.
