The Tower and Our Inner Galaxies

 

“Never apologize for burning too brightly or collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made.”
— Tyler Kent White

 

We burn each day living out the dramas of our lives. So much of it is self-create, the little bits of self-sabatoge we do to either make our lives more interesting or to keep ourselves going in our shaky towers, always about to fall. We do what we can to keep them balanced. Occasionally we are smart enough to collapse them ourselves so that we can build up again stronger, somehow. That collapse is ok tho. Sometimes it is necessary. Sometimes we have to either have our faces rubbed into just how shaky this life we have created for ourselves is and sometimes we have to rub our faces in it ourselves. Still we might get surprised or feign surprise at the collapse even to ourselves but hey that’s how we keep the game interesting. Still hopefully each time we rebuild it is on steadier ground.
Blessings, G

Truth Will Out…

 

“It is always the false that makes you suffer, the false desires and fears, the false values and ideas, the false relationships between people. Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.”
― Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

Truth Liberates. Yet first because truth illuminates falsehood, we suffer if only it is the dissolution of the illusions that we live with. “I stay in this relationship for my children.” “Noone need ever know.” “I am doing this for you not for me.” Truth shows us our self interest and our rationalizations and makes us see ourselves for who we are. Of course this comes with the opportunity to become something better yet first comes that shock and yes that suffering. It’s not a bad trade tho it sucks at the time. Yet truth will out eventually.
Blessings, G
