One of the reasons you still ask yourself such questions as

Do I love him/her?
Do I love it?
Does she/him love me?

Is because your understanding of love is still rudimentary.
Stuck on the surface level of the mind

You're attached to your love so deeply, you're unable to see it truly.

You put all types of conditions and requirements for your love purely to satisfy your ego.

I can only love someone if they do this or that or behave like this or that or make me feel like this or that.

Creating conflict between your mind and your heart.

To know love, let go of the mind
Feel with the heart completely

Don't explain, justify, reason.

Just feel

Feel the pain of loving and losing, the pain of loving and not having it returned, the joy of finding new love, the ecstacy of that love blossoming

Feel it all. Don't get attached to the good or run from the bad. Feel it all with no discrimination or restrictions

It might start of being only bad emotions, eventually the good will outweigh the bad til the point where the bad ceases to even be relevant

Don't think, just feel

Unpleasant emotions come from the same place as pleasant emotions

Running from the unpleasant ones towards the pleasant ones is the same as running backwards to rewind time

You were there before the emotions came, you'll be there after they're gone

No need to cling on to pleasant emotions in the hopes that they stay, you'll poison them

No need to avoid or manage unpleasant emotions, that will make them stronger and craftier

Experience whatever comes in it's totally, love fully with no restrictions, cry until your tears run out, laugh until your abs develop, have passionate s*x until your or***ms have or***ms

It might be the last time you ever do any of those things

Never hold back

There are those who go around saying "I love you"

There are those who take it personally when you don't say "I love you" back

There are those who don't say anything but from their actions you can tell they love you

Then there are those few outliers
Those who radiate love from each cell in their being.

Every step they take is filled with so much love it's like the streets are making love to their feet with each step

Flowers blossom and offer them their fragrances to inhale. You can't help but notice how gracefully they swim in the rivers of life

Every word they say is filled with tenderness, acceptance, compassion
Even when they tell you to f**k off
You can still feel the warmth and love from the words

The difference between this type of love and the love you think you know is this love has no beginning.

There we no conditions that needed to be met for this love to develop. Its always been there. You're just not aware of it.

That which is created, will surely be destroyed.

If the love you feel for anyone is something that was developed through getting to know each other, vibing with their personlaity, liking their character, getting lost in their body, etc... It's not love.

Just as it came, so will it go.

That which is real, is everlasting

Where does the boundary of "me" begin? Where does it end?

Laying down on this couch, unable to differentiate where the boundaries of this body ends and where the couch begins.

I am the couch.

The sound of the refrigerator in the background. Where is that sound coming from?

Is it coming from the left? But which way is the left when I can't even find the edges of this body.

The sound is distant yet right here.

What are these visions, figures, symbols, phrases appearing out of nowhere? Then dissapearing back into nowhere

I feel my heart pounding out of my chest. I focus trying to find my heart. It's gone.

Just like my body blending in without the couch which then blends into the next thing until all is one.

I can't find my heart. The sound of it beating merged with the sound of the refrigerator which then merged with the sound of the radiotor.

Who is this I trying to find these things

A non existent I. Being fabricated moment by moment. Suddenly vanished into the same spot it came from.

Badoom.. Badoom... Badoom
I am the heart beat. I am the humming refrigerator.

I am that which is

No matter what you look like, where you're from, wether you're Muslim or Christian, man or woman, Russian or American, black or blue... psychologically we all go through the same things.

Fear, abandonment, anxiety, questions of self worth and purpose. Psychologically we are not individuals.

You are mankind. Whatever you do, good or bad, affects the whole of mankind.

With this realization comes tremendous responsibility

Your consciousness is not yours. It's the rest of mankind's

Do with thia s you will

A thousand words might be said when only one is needed

Those excess words do nothing more than drive your mind further into confusion

So when Abdoulaye doesn't say anything. If you listen to the silence, you'll realize he's saying everything that needs to be said

The reason Abdoulaye's silence speaks volumes while your silence leaves you even more confused is simple.

His silence is complete. Including the silence of the mind. Zero thoughts.

Your silence is simply the closing of your mouth and the turning up of your minds chatter

Only when you can truly be silent, will your words cease being tools of confusion and start becoming the beacons of ligth with witch you'll cast away the darkness within yourself and your fellow man

BZZZZZ BZZZZZ BZZZZZ

E-vr-ryy morning. Same thing
This blaring loud, ear ringing, skull breaking death bell, echoing through the large warehouse.

F**K!
Here she comes.

I didn't sleep a blink last night. I had to perfect the plan while they rested.

Our lives are at stake.
Six of us already died.

Before she comes in again.

The three of us. We're SURVIVING

Maruda sacrificed his mouth.
He chewed through these thick heavy ropes for hours to free my arms.

Losing most of his teeth while bleeding profusely. What a soldier.

What makes it even more gangsta, this mfer didn't cry or complain once.

Jimani sacrificed her mental well-being to allow Maruda and I to drink some milk from her breasts as she was lactating.

I knew we were going to make it, the moment she looked deep into my eyes, smiled while noding encouragingly while I had her ni**le in my mouth sucking out some milk.

We were both on the floor facing each other tied up with hands behind our backs. Maruda had wiggled all the way behind me and been chewing on the ropes binding me.

We were exhausted, beaten and bruised, hungry, unable to move tied up and dumped on the floor in a large warehouse.

Our 6 friends dead. Their blood stains now dry on the floor and walls. Body's gone.

This is our only shot.

While drinking some milk, at this point drops at a time. Jimani and I made eye contact while I was extracting nourishment from her already sore throbbing ni**le.

At that moment I knew.

We were going to survive.

Once I got free. I will get us out of this.

SLAAAAAAAAAAMMMM

She burst through the door.
She had no idea what hell was about to befall her.

Plan was already on motion....

Who is this I reading these words

Who is this I writing these words

Keep your attention on the I

Keep it there until the I dissolves into the background

Only then. Will you finally be {redacted}

It's not that deep... Or is!

How deep can you go?

The deeper you go, the stronger the emotions that arise.

Every single cell in your body vibrating

Blood boiling

Nose flared

Strong deep nasal inhalations filling your chest with oxygen

Slow controlled nasal exhalations releasing every bit of tension in your body

Neurons in your brain flaring up like fireworks making new connections faster than 5G wishes it could

All this and more awaits you once you let go of {redacted}

And go deeper

I'll briefly outline the truth about awareness which I have discussed

1) there is no objective world, but only a universe of energy fields which seers called the indescribable force's emanations

2) human beings are made of the indescribable forces emanations and are in essence bubbles of luminous energy; each of us is wrapped in a cocoon that encloses a small portion of these emanations

3) awareness is achieved by the constant pressure that the emanations outside our cocoon, which are called emanations at large, exert on those inside our cocoon

4) awareness gives rise to perception, which happens when the emanations inside our cocoon align themselves with the corresponding emanations at Large

While walking through the abyss keep your eyes on the glimmering Ray of light

Which is actually just a reflection of yourself

A derivative of the , source, infinite consciousness, , , , , whatever name you decide to assign to it

Omg, I don't know what my life purpose is

I don't know what I want to do, I don't know who I want to be

Let me save you some time and energy

The answer is simple

Your life's purpose is to be you. Be the best version of you

Answers don't come to you when you're standing still

To get answer be in motion.

Life's a constant game of motion and level changes

You stop moving and you turn into a ghost. Dead before you die. Alive yet not living
