“The You” is real
We are born with the same body parts, and we have the same organs. I don’t think that what we carry inside of our minds is so different from one individual to another. We are similar originally; we all start as variations of angels. The closest we ever got to the divinity in this bone and flesh form was when we were babies or toddlers, that’s why I always say that kids, along with pups and kittens, are the best people. If you are cynical about it, look at a child and tell me I’m wrong.
Of course purity will distort over time, but whatever was given to us is still locked in that vault we call the head. Since essential things don’t get lost in nature – like the rain – why would our intuition, our values, and our inherent force be gone? These three mentioned are not skin, so we don’t shed them accidentally. These are all within our brains. There are no leaks, there is no drip – what comes, stays. Maybe our dormant subconscious holds the key, we just have to want to look for it. Sometimes the key is already in the door, sometimes the door is unlocked, we should only rotate the knob, turn the page, say “not anymore” to our past as it tries to drag itself into the next stage of our existence.
Imagine that you are the ocean, the diver, and also the treasure under the level of the sea! Because you truly are everything, one can generalize and say that you are your own version of ‘The Trinity.’ Only you can retrieve what’s lost in you, but while you’re at it, you carry your ‘cross’ (or burden), as you to deal with negativity, with vices, with toxic personalities, counting maybe your own.
We talk about pollution and bad soil, but we overlook what we allowed the society to do to the soul. Finding yourself may seem like the toughest diving experience. It has you immersed in your dark side, with a weight on your back, pulling you down while you are there searching for the light, for the clarity and for the strength you were given, that in fact you never lost: you still have them.
“It’s what you make out of it,
how you look at it,
whatever you should be finding,
is whatever you want.”
Only you can look for it and you’ll find it. The trick is that there is no trick, and it doesn’t have to make sense to make sense. Take back what is yours like I place my order at the coffee shop. Long story short, after my parents and after a few decades, this is the second group of people agreeing that I’m special. Their one coffee with a croissant combination (the special!) bears my name! So now I walk in, I giggle and I say: “I’m here to get what’s mine!”
In real life this works only in the territory of the mind. It is not acceptable to conquer physical goods (unless they have your name all over them, and even then, I pay), but you can conquer and take back your good thoughts.
I am mentioning this because some things are hidden in plain view, yet we don’t see them. Like my references, like the truth, like the glasses on my nose, like the phone in your hand, like the keys in the door, and like your incredible force to start all over once you have decided that the time had come to move on.
