Death and Rebirth

It was December 31st 2011. I decided to spend the new year's eve with my family. Its very rare for me to participate in family events but this one was long overdue. So, we planned to through a BBQ party at my aunts place to celebrate the new year. All my close family were there, including some of my very close friends.

As the story goes, to have a BBQ party, we had to have coal. And it just happend that the coal was pretty damped and wasn't catching fire. I took the responsibility to light it up but I got pretty disappointed at myself. Then everyone came to help light the fire, which included the youngest members of our family. I have a 5 year old sister and 2 cousin of 7 and 9. Needless to say they are very mature kids. They got really interested at lighting the fire so from a safe distance they were let to fan the fire for a bit. Of course my uncle and aunt were there as well.

Disappointed at myself, I climbed on the roof with my friend to chill out. After a little while we decided to check what the kids were doing. To us the image was my 3 little siblings have manage to get the coal to catch fire. They have done what we couldn't. Then the sudden realization occurred. The new and young will always take our places and we have to move on to make room for them. Even if it means to move on from something you really love and have worked for your entire life. Or, your life itself.

This experience have left me feeling a profound connection with my species and made me appreciate the time I have in my life. It made me accept the cycle of death and rebirth. At the moment of my death, it might even give me the piece of mind so I could let go, as a happy man.

An Alternate Reality

Parallel universes, other dimentions, bubble universe, membranes whatever it might be called it points toward the idea of an altered state of consciousness if you may. Looking things in a different way. Experiencing an altered version of the fundamental laws. Its almost like experiencing another universe while existing in a completely different one.

Ever since we became self-aware, we in a word became free to think, experience and observe from a very special point of view which is very personal to each of us. The beauty is that no matter what, you can never feel the way I feel of vice-versa. Its beautiful because it gives us a sense of self appreciation and makes our existence that much more meaningful. Sharing that special experience, we have invented art of all form. Only through art we can express the most subtle emotions we feel. It might be a painting, film, music, sculpture or just a splatter of food on a clean wall. What we do, is an expression of our experience, our feelings. Most of us takes all these for granted, because its reality, its how things should happen. But once we step out the normal realm to observe ourself, that is when truth gets delivered to us.

The most important revelation a person can experience is to meet and experience himself. Since we share a common thread that binds us beyond the material world. That thread being our collective consciousness. To be more clear its the residue attraction between ourself that we achieved at the beginning of the birth of our universe. Since every action is capable to effect the outcome of the universe, thus its only logical to assume that the connection that once existed when all matter was one, still exists in our deepest psychological level, or even all around us that is invisible to us, cause we just take that for granted. In a very metaphorical expression, we share one soul, and each of us is a subjective observer of ourselves. In another word we are experiencing ourselves through everything in the universe. And that is the moment of ultimate revelation when we become aware of that connection. A realisation that we are all one, starting from a tiny bug to the largest of stars. That is the moment we truly discover ourselves. At that moment you are entitled to experience the ultimate wisdom. At that moment you experience god.

Dont be misled. When I say god, its not an external force that keeps everything in check. Rather its the collective consciousness of our universe. Its the forse that exists in everything starting from a tiny atom to the supermassive black-holes, and even us. If we look for it, this pure energy will reveal itself. It can never happen through close minded rituals. Rather one must open himself to the infinite possibility to let the massage through. The journey is different for each and all of us. But its the commitment to the journey that will set us free. I can never help you find your way, but I can tell you that there is something amazing waiting for you if you take on the journey. If we all manage to reach that place, we shall all be one, once more.
