Waking up from the world of illusion

The duality of love and fear
Bliss and suffering
It’s a balancing act
By which your experience of life is what’s on the balance

Consciousness shifts
The veil lifts
And soon enough
Life whips us back to where we started

We’re on a search
high and low
For a feeling that we don’t know

exists

And we exist until we wake
To a realized state
That what we longed for was here
All along

But until then,
We move ceaselessly
Afraid to stop
We don’t know what awaits us in the

Silence

If we stay still for too long
We might meet dread
& the absence of guidance

Better to keep moving
But do we make that choice consciously
Or is it mere a v o i d a n c e altogether?

Does one decide

Hey, I’m going to run from place to place,
Not leaving space
Avoiding my fate

And then think to themselves,

“Yeah that seems like a good idea”

A dance in the void

But let’s get back to that realized state
The day you wake
It was worth the wait
the pain
the searching
the cries and heartache

You made it
It clicks
Time slows
The script flips

Actually there’s no script
it’s bliss
You see humanity for what it is

You’re a unique blend of atoms
You’re one with the birds

The voice in your head is completely disturbed
But the difference is
That now I can see
I’m the one watching

The voice isn’t me

And from that moment
A space is born
Between me and the voice that’s left my heart torn

I befriend my divinity,
Fall in love with myself
And discover that stillness is my definition of wealth

I liberate myself from the world of illusion
As I wake up to the truth of

who I am

My eyes open slowly
I look around
The world glimmers in a new, special way
It is more profound

The moment vibrates

There’s warmth in my heart
A new chapter starts

Good morning
