I am against some odds, with an irrational fear nagging away at the back of mind, there are endless hours of work, an uncertain future, plus no exercise with plenty of gluttony instead.

You hope there could be a plan for everything, even a plan to do something if some plan did not work. Then there is the past that you loved and now rue leaving behind, and the present that overwhelms. All 3 time-linear realities are either impractical or undesirable. And then something tells you that every step you took, are taking and will take has been bringing you a step closer to your ultimate reality. Those ambitions you ever harboured, those dreams you ever had, that closeness you ever felt with someone, all of these things that make up your ultimate truth, your ultimate reality...you must believe that to reach it, it will take one step at a time.

Please let me be behind this curtain. Please do not lift this curtain. Please understand that if you lift this curtain, there will be chaos. Look, these eyes will be locked and my lips tenderly sealed. Please, you've got what you never really tried hoping for. You've found what you never really set out to seek. Please do not lift this curtain. Oh god, my dear friend, understand that you must wait a little longer. Please, otherwise there will be chaos.

The wisdom from the feeling of liberation should steer me away from the web of attachment and ego. Yet very often I trot along fearlessly and compassionately towards this same web to reach out to those still stuck. There's no joy in an isolated and insulated freedom. Gone are the ages where we could be content with personal spiritual progress. This is the age of service, of networking, of selflessness. This is the age of fearlessness and compassion. This is the Golden Age now, infront of your very senses. Get out of your shells and stop being lonely now.

Happy Independence Day!

Keep only your feet in the murky, unclear waters of human emotions. When something stings or your feet start to get wrinkly, take your feet out, allow them to dry, rest and recuperate. With the rest of you outside, you can feel what it is to be human, but will never drown in its fold. The intellect, therefore must be outside the murky waters.

If you feel you are already drowning, unable to think clearly, stick out your hand and reach out to your rescuer above, for surely there is a rescuer. Surrender completely, and calmly because unlike the murky waters of any of the 5 oceans, the harder you kick and gasp in panic here, the further you drown.

Let us take the battle of the mind outside. Outside the comfort zone, it is a level playing field. Inside, the mind always wins because it is so much easier. It is so much easier to be comfortable. If you're a true warrior, take the battle outside.
