The Double Bind…..
Everything I “know” is wrong…..
Once you think you know, you no longer know. This is the double bind….It’s kind of like “ignorance is bliss”, but is it? So many of us are “asleep at the wheel” just going through the motions in life. I believe a lot of our collective consciousness is reflected in our pop culture. For example: the popularity with zombies may be an analogy of my previous statement. Another analogy would be our fascination with superheroes. Perhaps this is a reflection of our evolution and “ascension” into higher consciousness beings. There are two sides to every coin, and we are also an extension of one another. From what I understand, this is what Zen Buddhism tries to “teach” us. It is in letting go of one’s ego, and embracing the “oneness with all” that we find true inner bliss. But this is just it- it’s called “inner bliss” for a reason. One has to find peace, bliss, forgiveness, etc. within one’s self first, before she can make her peaceful mark on the world. The duality only exists in our minds.
Having had an “awakening” myself, and am still going through it- how can one ever stop learning and growing, really? I suppose we can all get stuck at times- and those times can seem like an eternity, can’t they? Perhaps you feel stuck now? I know I often do, but then I have to remind myself that I am a co-creator with the Universe, and that I am more powerful than I think.
