So, spiritual awakening.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens when you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

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

realize, that everything is always exactly the way it is and can\u2019t be anything else, and there\u2019s nothing you can ultimately do about it, and if it seems that you can, that\u2019s also just what\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wake up grumpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You snarl at the cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You spill a cup of hot coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And swear at a client or a family member or someone in traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you\u2019ll be happy as fuck, just like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

life is always exactly the way it is and can\u2019t be anything else, and there\u2019s nothing you can ultimately do about it, and if it seems that you can, that\u2019s also just what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hahaha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confusing, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\u2019s the constant bliss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\u2019s the non-stop floating on clouds of contentment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are the endless, uuuuuuh, orgasms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least not constant and non-stop and endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is always exactly the way it is and can\u2019t be anything else, and there\u2019s nothing you can ultimately do about it, and if it seems that you can, that\u2019s also just what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

stuff stops being so serious, for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stuff evaporates easier, and dissolves quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a sense of lightness even though<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you still wake up grumpy (some days at least).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might snarl at the cats (and say sorry straight away because you don\u2019t like how they run away and hide under the couch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You spill coffee and, well,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

maybe you laugh about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything goes on, life continues, and you\u2019ll be part of it, living it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not like before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old habits will drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precious hobbies will stop making sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tight shit will loosen up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometimes when you walk down the street<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you float<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you drift<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you fly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

because life just felt like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the days will feel more like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you\u2019re still not doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But who cares?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Most certainly not you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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