Dreams have come back to me quite a lot with multiple instance of lucidity. It feels really good. I draw, write, play music, practice tattooing, it seems like I'm stepping into a new season of my life. It all feel very positive. Even my poop are good again! Last week, I worked with a friend of mine, did a family constellation. A technique by which you revisit your ancestors and you give back what you don't need anymore. This friend is also a medium, so her connection to the ancestors is really solid. Do I believe in medium? I've never really took the time to ask myself that. I think most of them are faking it. But this friend is so gentle and simple about it that I trust her. That session re-enforced that feeling of what is mine and what is not mine. A lot of my emotions aren't mine really, and when I feel them coming to me, I can now discern and release what is not mine. My logical mind then ask: "Well what if these emotions were yours?" If these emotions are mine, and I release them, and they don't come back, then what good were they? If these emotions only trigger anxiety, might as well say these emotions aren't mine to start with. Then a song comes to mind: I have nothing to offer Thee for all things are Thine I grieve not that I cannot give for nothing is mine nothing is mine Here I lay at Thy feet, O Lord, My life, my limbs, my thoughts and my speech For they are Thine for they are Thine I always like that song, it's very non-dualistic in it's Christian way. If everything is consciousness, what is mine, what is not mine. What are my emotions and other emotions. Why would I take everything so personal, when it's all a current, coming in from all directions. Ancestor, partner, friend, other people, all create waves around me, why would I blame myself only about all of these sensations. It has been a strange year, where I would get to a place of 'void' and behind that void was discomfort and anxiety. Now that void is filled with potentiality. I realize that I am a bit of an empath. I feel others emotions very strongly. Over the weekend I went to a dance event and I felt it. This seemingly social anxiety. But when I repeated to myself, these are not my emotions, I realized that I was simply feeling other's emotions. It was a nice realization. Removing the knot of life. That sensation, this realization reminded me of my latest samadhi experience. My ego, my whole life, or what separated me from Consciousness, was this thin layer, very fragile, like a scab, ready to fall out at any moment. This scab is the human experience. It's a protective layer, but it's also uncomfortable. It's only needed for a moment. Its existence is limited in time. I've always felt that sensation of fragility and discomfort. But at the same time I've blamed myself about it. I am a bad person because of that 'feeling'. I should be more compassionate, more in love with others. But that judgment is now waning. I am left with this sensitivity, this clarity. I don't have a difficulty loving others, it makes me uncomfortable to feel other's humaneness. But that discomfort is not mine, it's actually the other's scab, the others grinding sensation of being alive. It's a very strange realization. Creating an elevated sense of void, even deeper than usual. As anxiety try to settle in, I release it. I breath, and smile. I have nothing to offer Thee for all things are Thine...
