LIBERATING PRESENCE

The main SHADOW I perceive in this theme of death—the force that decays—is the illusion of stability. That things remain, are safe, and will last. That our physical life is eternal in some sense, and takes with that, the illusion that our world is REAL.

Life is either lived in a fearful way
or a dull way.
There is either no rest
or no urgency.
We either sterilise our understanding
or any outer provocation in order to believe we have achieved a ‘successful’ life.

This shadow pushes the common or collective ideal life picture scenario…
You get a 9to5 job, then you find a partner to marry.. then you buy a car and a house to live in, and only then you get children not before. And you live happily ever after… Etc.
Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat.

And we have no sense of owning ourselves.
We own land, we own property, but we don’t own our hearts.
We trust politics to guide us to our best evolutive pathways.
And we are simple, gentle, soft and obedient.

And once death comes knocking on our door, we push it away as the biggest enemy in our life. And yet it’s everyday here, every night, every exhale something dies in us. It strips us bare in the hands of God.
Relentlessly.

And the sheer intuition of having our illusion being stripped bare terrifies us. So we continue to run away, to work into our bones the stressed mentality, the fear of loosing the weight, the flesh, and bones you’ve been adoring.

Death is really a transcendental guide.
And the harbinger of ecstasy.
It shreds your mantels, masks, and protections.
You’re tested to see wether you can actually recognise yourself in the midst of beliefs, illusions and hypnosis.

So I would ask you:
How ready are you to die?
Because you came in this life to die as well.

Let me know in the comments.
And feel inspired to make art of it.
Make beauty out of your life.
Live life to the fullest.
Like a true adventure.
Where you cannot come back.

What are you holding unto that actually will never come back?
