The Peak...
|
|
|
|
I had reached a peak, a plateau of sparkling clarity and conciousness.
|
|
The world was sound, a vibrating molecular dance from the infinitesimally
|
|
small to the infinitesimally vast, deeper than anything I'd ever imagined.
|
|
I looked out the window and saw machine clouds churning through an
|
|
endless sky. I saw light and colour and vacillating patterns possessed of
|
|
an indescribable essence. I realized that the room and world around me
|
|
were alive and that all things spring from the Divine Ground. This must
|
|
have been what the ancients felt when they spoke of the Great Spirit and
|
|
in my minds eye, I could almost see an old shaman standing by his fire,
|
|
arms outstretched to the heavens, with spirits dancing all around him, in
|
|
the shadows...
|
|
There is ancient wisdom and knowledge here, something that prescinds the
|
|
truths we've come to accept in this civilization we've built around us.
|
|
Something that transcends dogma, religion, culture, all the established
|
|
ways and mores of society. And for a time I'm ecstatic about being apart
|
|
of and witness to this deeper truth. I found myself wishing everyone
|
|
could glimpse this ...path, this window. Surely no one could go through
|
|
this experience and not come out of it a little more fulfilled or
|
|
centered, a little more whole...
|
|
There is also a certain amount of fear here. This I found on
|
|
introspection, to be inevitable considering the complexities and fear that
|
|
pervades the world around us. But it didn't last, ecstatic communion and
|
|
hope won out as I realized that I held the key to keep, or let go of, the
|
|
fears that I possessed. Like I said before, it's only a matter of
|
|
perception...
|
|
There are mysteries here, mysteries that will never be unraveled, not by
|
|
me, not by anyone. For me it's enough to just BE, to accept, to go
|
|
forward into light and love. To quote a friend: I was smiling in the
|
|
peace that surpasses understanding.
