The Rambling That Keeps You Alive and Awake – 24/1/2019

And what good have I done today—anything worth pondering as justification for my existence on this planet?

Well, I didn’t do anything bad that would warrant punishment… at least not that I can think of. I’ve always believed: if you can’t help me get through the day, then at least don’t stand in my way without a good reason.

The mind drifts in and out like this, until I manage to shut it down for a few minutes through meditation.

When the mind rests, there you find silence. Peace.
And if you rest deeply enough in this tranquil state, you might start seeing new thoughts arising from the depth of your consciousness. Or, as some say, from your subconscious.

Only this time, you’re aware of them.
You’re watching, not reacting.
And many of these thoughts—surprisingly—are positive.
Some even feel divine.

There’s an elation that comes. A sense of completion.
Gratefulness. A spontaneous need to say thank you, to whoever or whatever brought you to that moment.

You pray to your Maker.

But these raptures don’t last long.

Why? Because you can’t hold on to that silence. Not for too long. The back starts to ache. A car alarm goes off.
Or worse—the ego slips in like a shadow, whispering.
Religiously, you’d say it’s the devil. The children of Mara.
They hate seeing you get close to peace.

Still, if you can persist, if you can rest in the silence a little longer…
Just watching, not interfering…
You might catch a glimpse of something real.

You might realize there’s nothing to it—or that it’s everything.
Either way, your mind shifts.
And with it, an insight arises.

You see: Whether you did good or bad today doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme.
It’s all perception.
And if you believe in that perception long enough, it becomes reality.
If you don’t, it just passes—like clouds in the sky, drifting across the vast field of your consciousness.

That’s all.

And now it’s 3:00 a.m.
The witching hour.

Time to sit.

Or maybe… just fall asleep.
