…nd leaning in to the unknown. When faced with a decision, I’m learning to ask myself this question: “Which option will lead me to the bigger life?”

…hat is mildly uplifting and inspiring, it’s like Moses having an experience of gnosis on the Mount. You KNOW that all there is and will ever be is Love, which is a word that could be interchangeable with God, meaning infinite benign creative intelligence. You KNOW that the consciousness that experiences all things is eternal and undying and that our small and fragile ego selves are only an identity we put on temporarily and then let go of when we die, like putting on and taking off a piece of clothing. You KNOW that all of the small shit our world fights over is petty and ridiculous and we could be spending our lives cooperating, loving each other, making art and creating beauty on this planet if more people realised how connected we all are.

“Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose, to accept defeat, to learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes, you must free your ambitious mind, and learn the art of dying.”
