Starry, Starry Night

Now, let me tell you…

Digging into the depths of your core, untangling the clews of preconceived opinions and unravelling the truth of your authentic self… it will bring you places. 

It will bring you from the river Styx to Gaia's ceiling.  From the grip of Hades to the arms of Eros.

Bam! Snatched by Hydra again.

But no low nor high, no sujet nor emotion will be able to obstruct your way to Revelation Road.  

Even when you’re down, your spirit is soaring as the teachings of struggle are tomorrow’s pillars of consciousness.   

For example, let's take the devouring ache of heartbreak.  The pain of unrequited love, if you will.  It will make you cry tears that wet your skin but that will also dissolve the steel of one of your heart's vaults, disclosing concealed contents.  

This rock bottom of grief and heartache will enable you to question yourself, to make you strip yourself and because of that will also lift you to yet another, veiled before, awareness.  

For me, it drew me to some spiritual guidance which taught me a thing or two.
Amongst other life saving hacks, it taught me that whatever’s in me, I see in you.
That truth does not exist.
We see what we want to see.  We see how we were constructed to see.  All our past experiences, all our preconceived conceptions we see exhibited in other people's attitudes, in our collocutor's words.

Not anymore, though.  I will, in all humility, try to innovate myself.

Being ignored will no longer be a validation of me being not worthy of love.

That reply to my question asked will no longer be considered as a confirmation of me being not good enough.

Not getting what I yearn for from someone will no longer be taken as a representation of my inbedded insecurities.  

I understand now that whatever’s in you, is projected on me and vice versa.

I understand now that we're all just mirrors, reflecting on each other what's really inside ourselves.

Coming to this understanding, I've noticed that we can not pour from an empty cup.
That we should try to fill ourselves with love, tenderness and compassion for self and others in order to spill it over to everyone around us.

We should try to see what's REALLY there to see, not what we THINK there is to see.

We should try to hear what's REALLY there to hear, not what we THINK there is to hear.

Let us try to focus on the good and loving aspects in each other and let's mention them.
Let us draw smiley's on each other's faces and let's color our own hearts with happiness while we are at it as well.  

Let us, in all modesty, try to blank our canvasses and to feel the brushes by the hairs they are made off and to smell the paints by their true compositions.

Let us try to clean our slates today so we are no longer the centuries old reproductions of yesterday.
