A Flash of Existence

16th March 2022

Originally shared on Facebook · 16th March 2022


I am but a flash of existence floating in time and space somewhere in between two eternal darknesses with a vague notion of self.

The ego will always identify with one's experience.

Just remember, that when it's time to let the old ideas of who you think you are, who you ought or ought not to be, to crumble away, that a new and updated and more beautiful sense of self will rise again and again and again, and so it is.

The more we do this on individual levels the more that the tight constraints of society will loosen up and the human race is one step closer to liberation.

Chaos gives rise to order and order gives rise to chaos. Life is born, and life dissipates to return back to the void ready to be recycled in god's image. Nothing and nobody really dies, and nor is it born. For all of life is eternal.

What is there to worry about? You will inevitably face your mortality, and it is your choice whether to embrace your maker, or to cling on to self limiting stories of past times.

I've got news for you. You are not what your ego thinks you are. You are so much more.

So, why not find out who you REALLY are. Take off your costume, your mask and drop your thoughts, your stories. Stand on your hind legs and howl your naked essence, and may it radiate out and ripple to all beings to be heard.

May all beings awaken to our innate interconnected divine essence. 🙏✨

Thank you for reading.
