The primordial addiction
When the spiral of addiction kicks in and it seems a never ending journey
.
Every attempt to stop, a failure, and every little success, the beginning of another wave
.
Life and light are veiled because it’s a pretty dark space inside and not even the closed ones are aware of the cave you are living in. Avoidance and escape become your hidden language
.
Addiction to work, to non smoking, to conspiracy theory, to vegan food...
Any addiction big or small reveals a deep longing to be home, a yearning to be free, at peace, always
.
The primordial addiction is the addiction to the mind and every human being is on the same boat
.
Everyone will be conscious of it one day or the other because this is the root cause of it all
.
The mind won’t stop talking unless you don’t pay attention to this rumbling old marmelade
.
Otherwise you are constantly feeding the moldy sticky spread
.
When you switch off the fan it still spins for a while until it finally stops
.
This “ for a little while” might seem an eternity and all the hope and efforts pointless, but unless you trust it is bound to stop, the loud circus will continue to overtake your stage
.
Your scene is in reality a free canevas for your unique composition to take place
.
Thoughts are inner sounds
.
If you can start replacing the thought by the vibration of a sound
.
A sound that can cut through the noise and has an echo you don’t even need to know or understand
.
The echo of the sound in you, through you, beyond you is like a ripple that has a butterfly effect you can’t even measure
.
The sacred sounds or mantras don’t necessarily need to be explained or understood
.
In the listening, thoughts subside
.
Repetition is the key. Make it your sacred ritual that has the power to uncover the truth you are
.
In this understanding no thought can overpower you or not for long because you are familiar with the space untouched by the noise of life
.
Your original voice can finally be heard because the scraping sound that was covering it is gone
Do you want to uncover your unique sound?
