Everything Must Go

Back

2023

The other night I understood that there are things that literally cannot be conceptualized by the mind. I thought and thought and thought and came so, so close and there! In front of me stretched the highest brick wall, impenetrable solid, something I cannot break or peer over or dig under or anything. Nothing! The mind cannot make it through to the other side. In the process of awakening, everything must go. It starts with the intellect, and with that gone, the mind unravels, and the self is eradicated, and a brick wall is a blade of grass compared to what was, is, and always will be:

In this process there is no falling off the path. There is only the arising of impurities and thoughts of self-doubt and frustration... Ahh... give it all up to the mother. So much good stuff to toss away and let be consumed make it all a sacrifice. I'm walking straight into the fire... let it wash over and through me.

Atha Yoganusasanam!
