Re: Knowing and freedom
when we get angry, go outside, take a few breaths and look to the stars. Why? When we look to the stars we realise how small we are, and how silly clinging to a single idea or difference is. Every idea, all perspectives, every conversation, is just one dot blinking in the sky. We stand so high and mighty, isolated and trapped, yet the blinking lights in the sky remind us that it’s all so meaningless. That the little voice in our head whispering HOW important this idea is, is just that, really little.
By looking to the stars we begin feeling in our bodies the boundlessness of life. We feel the unlimited reality. The stars anchor us to reality, and help us expand. We loosen the grip on our ideas. We begin seeing that differences are just as true, simply from another point of view. With ideas and differences, there’s plenty of space for all.
Men are disturbed not by things but by the way they take them.
