Hola! Estic pensant, sol en soletat . El cos amb milions de partícules totes visquen, com potser aquesta societat
Jo sóc més o menys el seu representant
Sóc Deu, com a simbol, i estic sol. Amb possibilitat de relacions de tot tipus ,, però estic sol encara que acompanyat estic sol
Que es això? Sol ? En l'immensitat en el fosc no saber sabent
Però és així sóc aquesta Vida així com sóc no hi ha volta enrere cap responsabilitat tota possibilitat no pot estar millor per ara la pau social encara que la d'hom sigui completa la consciencia social global és la que mana
A lot of spiritual writing implies that we can make a conscious choice to choose freedom, to let go, to stop pinching ourselves, or maybe, as I’ve seen advised, to practice detachment. The best I can do is to impatiently watch my mind spin out of control as my body contracts with fear until the crazy train of thought wears itself out. I’m really grateful that I can manage that.
I was trying to suggest it as a question we might ask in the moment, without expectation and open to not knowing what might reveal itself, rather than as an assertion about what is or is not possible.
I'd say that "the watching" is awareness. The impatience is thought activity accompanied by sensations in the body, which translates as "fear" and "contraction." Even the impatience is being seen. When you say, "The best I can do is...," could that be solidifying a pattern that isn't actually solid? Who knows what is or isn't possible?
Thank you for this piece. I need to read it again to fully understand it but I appreciate your words. I also did not know you had written several books. I am struggling with getting old. I am not struggling so much with the dying as with the challenges and the letting go that aging requires. I ordered that dying book in order to consider different ways for me to think about things. It's hard being a human being.
