Letting Go

Letting go is the journey inward. Letting go the form of understanding one has acquired to enter the eye of the eagle hovering miles above surveying the terrain revealing the aspect of ourselves that is never questioned. The aspect can be regarded as the unconscious as it goes about animating the world without any particular purpose or interest. It is scary to begin with as it is not yet mastered. There is a peculiar tendency of the conscious mind that is relatively peaceful only when it can lord over that it does not understand. It may not be very keen to even understand and would prefer bypassing the bit about understanding and jump straight to the seat with the joy stick. Letting go is to walk the walk, to face what one is presented with and not walking away, accepting it and responding to it. Being the student of ones’ unconscious is what can be termed as spirituality. As a student learns, not to usurp the rank or stature of the master but not being the servant either. As one learns about what gets revealed the boundaries of the conscious and the unconscious change. The words lose the potency to describe the experience of ones’ presence. One is just is, quiet, what then is unconscious?
