Skin Suit

Skin suit. I was contemplating this term in meditation today. This is temporary. I am a spirit borrowing this human body. Even if you don’t believe in spirit, it’s nice to indulge the idea and the temporary aspect of nature, of being, of the moment, of this whole life. What does that do for your mindset? 

We have forgotten and we are trying to remember. 

What is meditation? Well, we have forgotten who we are, why we are here, so too meditate is too remember. Who we are at our core. Meditation is coming back home. Meditation is to find love, love of self and love of all beings. It’s that simple. It’s not about achieving a particular state or feeling, it’s about a knowing, a remembering what has been long forgotten the moment we entered these skin suits. 

We will keep returning over and over again, overtime we return, the suffering deepens, the darkness, the shadows widen, the light seems to no longer exist, the walk seemingly infinite because we keep chasing outside of ourselves for what resides inside. That which you desire, thirst for most is right here. It is within you. To say that you are spirit in a human body is not a belief. It is a fact. A fact that you too can discover for yourself if only you had the courage to hold space, to sit in silence, courage to get comfortable with the temporary experience of being uncomfortable, but you instead decide on the quick fixes, these temporary feelings and states of being provided by the external. 

Our beliefs and facts all tied up into seemingly infinite knots. Each time we sit we loosen each knot, unwinding gently, at a methodical and digestible pace that aligns with our own being, according to our own experiences collected from the moment we arrived. Some knots tighter then others. It is a process. It requires patience, understanding and the ability to hold space for oneself. 

Stillness + Silence = The road to Self Love

This is the simple formula that is, in the beginning, excruciating to execute, but the light is there, this dark tunnel has an exit point. 

Only then will you able to differentiate fact from fiction.
