Relief vs release

In this incantation, I conceptualize my world as a projection of my inner experience, shaped by memory. Seeking release, I instead chase relief, which keeps me caught in a cycle of awakening. But something is shifting—I no longer seek external validation. If my memories write my moment, then can I rewrite them to reshape my… Continue reading Relief vs release

Coming out as the author

In this incantation, I reflect on two pivotal conversations that reinforced my understanding of self and reality. Speaking with a close friend and my mother, I revealed that I am not a person among people but the author of the entire experience. I shared how I write the story as I live it, with people… Continue reading Coming out as the author

The hook

In this incantation, I envision my awakening as a massive, multi-barbed hook embedded within me, each barb a valued experience—whether pleasure or pain. Every thought, memory, desire, and sensation tightens my bond with this hook, making it indistinguishable from my being. My reality is a dense knot of self-folded tissue, where every movement, internal or… Continue reading The hook

My memories fluctuate, altering my perception of my waking reality, intertwining my outer manifestations with deep inner movements. The present is always complete, yet my understanding of it shimmers, shifting… Continue reading The magnetic moment

Forgetting and awakening

In this incantation, I examine why I forget when I awaken and how the subsurface turbulence blinds me. I see that my desire arises from forgetting my being, and only in a still, undisturbed awakening can I reclaim my knowing. As I shape my reality, I realize that even fulfillment may not satisfy me—for I… Continue reading Forgetting and awakening

The fall

I’m getting closer to grasping time and memories. There is only now. But what are my memories? They aren’t fixed records of a past; they are projections—outward reflections of what I believe myself to be. Because I don’t fully understand who or what I am, my projections shimmer. That shimmering isn’t me changing over time—it’s… Continue reading The fall
