Notes from the Higher Stage
Four reflections on evolving past what you once were.
These are fragments written after a crossing: when the person you were becomes a reference rather than a memory. Read slowly; they're less about arriving somewhere and more about noticing where you now stand.
Truths and perspectives of previous stages seem implausible
and even unreal
the higher you consciously evolve.
It's as if those experiences were never lived and are now simply references of a past you may, or may not, have had.
A perplexing sensation when gazed upon.
Solitude offers clarity and space to expand
but its interaction with the world that offers the realization of insights.
Insight required to transcend the self and ascend to heaven.
I know so much, yet nothing at all.
Countless realities have been left behind in favor of a new unfamiliar one.
I alone,
a light standing in endless darkness:
reflecting on the next move cataloguing what is known contemplating where I stand in this vast and abandoned space.
There is no turning back
Not that I want to
I'm simply stating the obvious to remove all doubt~
to maintain clarity
to cast light on the path ahead.
Good is holding on, hoping their light will inspire growth, change, or move a still heart.
But good is blind where awareness doesn't accompany her,
thus, she despairs.
Meanwhile, he is taken by himself, gazing at what was not meant to be,
unaware of his truth
without his light.
