It\u2019s unbelievably cool to have the experience of an awakening guy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can tell you that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s beyond amazing to be guided towards endless reflecting and writing about this insane process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realize I\u2019m living a huge gift, that this is probably one of the better and more fulfilling experiences out there, and it seems that the acknowledgment of those realizations results in pure enthusiasm and endless inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just imagine you\u2019re the universe in a Marnix suit, typing shit about itself, discovering itself, being deeply surprised by itself, AS itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fingers, I have fingers!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, look, when they move and push, words appear on a screen!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine knowing, simply but unmistakably, that you don\u2019t ultimately exist as a separate human being, while still playing that role with all of its accommodating narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how I see life at this moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how it looks, feels, and smells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like an explorer of nature, being dropped for the first time on the greenest, utterly vibrant, most creature-filled planet out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New stuff all the time, everywhere you look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where would you start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So maybe I\u2019m documenting it so fiercely because there\u2019s so much going on, and I somehow want to catch some of it, record it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe all this writing is purely to indulge in the magic of these shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, well, maybe there\u2019s no reason but creation for creation\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s also where I seem to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a world of a thousand layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, there, everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine being lived for 54 years, being messed up for decades, learning all these creative skills, and then realizing how brilliantly it all comes together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The setup is beyond amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appreciation totally through the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And although I know that none of this writing comes close to how it\u2019s experienced, I also know that it\u2019s perfect and enough and fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s unbelievably, unfathomably cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just hope it somehow rubs off on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
