Remembrance

Did you ever feel like you didn’t know who you are?

Like what you did know about yourself was this superficial part?

You know that you are, and you know who you are supposed to be.

But who are you?

Well I have spent eternity seeking the answer.

And I have found out.

You are the universe waking up.

Countless lives, scenarios, events, happenings. An infinite number of relatives, friends, families.

So many costumes, so many different faces. All sharing the same thing.

Yet this thing, as obvious as it is to you is just slightly out of reach.

You have a vague idea, a hunch, a concept in you mind of what that is. You might even call it a feeling.

But you can’t comprehend it. Well, don’t try! Trust me when I say that You will never be able to.              Not in this form, not in this way.

There is a timeless tale about a castle, floating through the clouds. Everybody could see it, but no one would ever come down from there. Once, a young man dedicated his life to go to that castle. He became a legend because he had succeeded. After an entire lifetime he got up there and waved at the people that looked up. They saw him and they knew that you can get there. But how?

One day, an old mad appeared in the town. It was the old man who for years would wave and smile kindly to all the towns people. He would wave from the castle in the clouds.

“How?” they asked as a crowd gathered around him

“How did you get there? What way leads to that castle?”

The old man smiled and said “There is no way. There is no how.”

And with this saying he disappeared in a blinding flash of shining white light.

You seek remembrance, you seek enlightenment . You want to know all the hows? Whys? And whos?

But you don’t have a clue, and yet, you know. Yes, I will state that again: You know.

You seek happiness, you know why you are not happy. You may even know how remove the obstacles that keep you from being happy. You see people, going about their lives without ever realizing that there is another way. That they have happiness in their hearts but they have forgotten they have a heart.                 You see people trying to systematically calculate and integrate the way to happiness, mostly with no success. And you will see a few people, at least one person, who just lives.

If you look around, in silence. Not seeking anything or trying to prove anything. Just observing, you will see that the Whys? Whos? And hows? Are numerous. You will see that there are infinite schools of enlightenment and happiness. But if you go to those schools, find the masters and take their method away from them. How many will be able to be happy still? Without rituals, without the “Understanding”.

Those who truly live see that all the answers are in existence itself. There is no need to translate, you just need to learn the language. Or more precisely, to remember {:

So if you want enlightenment, just lighten up!
