Why did I go to spiritual retreats?
I went to those places
Looking to be recognized
For what I actually am
For them to see the divinity in me
Atman and Brahman joined
That no one in my life had acknowledged yet.
And you know what?
They did recognize me.
When I met the gurus
I felt celebrated and seen.
I who am the universe
And instead of singing into the wind
I finally had resonance
I was singing into the shower
The sound waves bouncing around me.
I wasn’t alone anymore
My true self was seen and loved.
But instead of being like
“Wow it’s you finally, you’re so special.”
They said:
“Yes it’s you. Wow, you really hide yourself well”.
I do? “Yes you have quite the mask”
Well I guess that explains why others don’t notice my divinity
“Your mask is of fear”
God is anything but afraid.
“Your mask is of hurry”
Why would God need to be hurried
“Your mask is of want”
Didn’t you want this all in the first place?
Didn’t you choose this life?
Impressive mask, they congratulated me.
“Though, you are not as special as you think,
Look at everyone else, they’re also the divine”.
And seeing my mask for the first time
I saw others’ masks for the first time.
Behind the masks, I see the light inside of them.
Let’s examine my mask.
Well, let’s look at the want,
The want I’ve placed so centrally in my mask.
Like a jewel in its crown.
Its a false jewel:
I already have everything I want.
Or if I really don’t have it, i just need to say it out loud 3 times.
It’s like in New York City,
If you have at least $100 dollars in your bank account
You don’t really need to own anything that’s in the 24/7 corner grocery store.
You can treat it like an extension of your apartment.
And just go pick it up when you want it.
In some sense, you already have it, you just have to realize you want it .
And then walk a block to pick it up.
Sometimes I dream that I’m famous.
And I wake up and say, wow wouldn’t that be nice.
But I’ve begun to realize my unconscious has already done the tradeoff calculus.
And has realized how limiting a famous life would be.
If I wanted it, I would already have it.
So the cons outweigh the pros.
The pros would be the power to change the world
But I already am everything.
I am the power changing the world.
I want to be an awakener.
I want to awaken others to their divinity
I want to awaken others to their divinity.
I want to awaken others to their divinity.
I said it 3 times
My wish is granted.
