Day 12
I was thinking yesterday that if I were my own client, I'd be wondering when and how "the fall" would take place, after such an extended high... This made me ponder the nature of graceful transformation, and the wisdom of the dualistic cycles of pleasure/pain that are inherent to the human experience.
I definitely do experience some gritty, difficult stuff from time to time, as everyone does. However, I view it in the context of how it helps me grow and learn. My painful experiences always point mercifully, with laser focus, to exactly where I am not integrated. Since growth, transformation, and evolution is the purpose of my life (rather than material fulfillment), what else can I ultimately do but celebrate the appearance of pain with as much gratitude as I do the appearance bliss?
Nature does not mourn or waste anything. What is death to one creature is life to another. Yet the experiencer of the experience remains unaffected. The cycles of time march on, and the witness remains.
It is my experience of mantra practice that intoning the Sanskrit formulae activates the mainline to the pre-manifestation witness state. It seems to help anchor more and more of my identity there, rather than in the manifest world with all of its dualities. The entire process of transformation feels far less traumatic, and far more graceful.
