On the Threshold of Being: Existence in essence.



Today, I embark on a sacred pilgrimage inwards, towards the hidden chamber of the Ich, the core of my being. This journey, I hope, will lead me to a state of unification, a point of confluence where self and higher self embrace.

As I journey deeper, I witness a magnificent exchange of energy, a symphony of light within the very essence of my existence. Like a curious child perched on the edge of a wise gathering, I observe the subtle dance between the known self and the unknown divine.

But who is this observer that arises within me? Who is the child gazing upon the observer? This question, never contemplated before, hangs heavy in the air, a riddle whispered on the wind.

It feels like an inner monad of innocence, untouched by the world’s harsh wisdom yet separate from the ego’s worldly attachments. This presence, a facet of self, yearns for the guidance of the higher self, yet possesses a radiant wisdom of its own.

Is this the innocent child of being, residing eternally in the present moment, bathed only in love? Untainted by the world, it exists in its purest form, untouched by the grasping tendrils of the ego. Perhaps it is the soul, or perhaps simply a stroke of cosmic grace.

This essence, a phantom presence, is devoid of drama and physical encumbrances. It is a self-contained being, radiating a powerful light from the heart. Its awareness exists solely in the ‘now’, not seeking growth or knowledge, for it is already complete within itself.

This state of harmonious innocence, an embodiment of pure beingness, vibrates with a profound beauty. It is a reminder that wholeness lies within, an exquisite dance of presence and awareness, forever perfect in its present moment, existing in the essence of being.

~ On the freedom to be ~

On the Freedom to Be

This morning, I open my eyes to the vastness of the universe. I am but a tiny speck in this vastness, but I am also a part of it. I am connected to everything and everyone, and I am filled with the potential to create and to grow.

I know that I am not limited by my circumstances. I am only limited by my thoughts. If I choose to believe that I am bound by my circumstances, then I will be bound. But if I choose to believe that I am free, then I will be free.

I reach out to the universe and call on its intelligence to meet me halfway. I ask for guidance and support as I embark on this journey of freedom. I know that I am not alone, and I am filled with hope.

I delve into the inner chambers of my being and seek to establish the right relationship with my soul. I know that my soul is a divine spark of ancient knowing, and I yearn to connect with it. I know that when I connect with my soul, I will be able to live a life of true freedom.

I pray for freedom to be, to become, and to feel. I want to be free to express my creativity, to grow and learn, and to experience all that life has to offer. I know that I am capable of great things, and I am excited to see what the future holds.

I am free to be me.

Will and being

Life follows a path of twists and turns, leading us from one adventure to the next. We are in a continual process of self-definition because how we define ourselves changes with how we actualise our personality in life. What we actualise is more than those things we actualise in the physical world. The reality is that our physical body will wear down over time until it finally returns to dust. However we are also in a process of evolving our inner being or spiritual togetherness. Our essence is not limited by time and the process of aging. Will holds being together, love gives expression to being and wisdom grows being.  All three are needed to evolve our being. Our inner will is independent from external circumstances.  We live life fully when we learn that our inner will is an abundant source of energy that can wade through despair and conquer all challenges.
