the authentic self.

when you are joyful and happy you have accessed the authentic self. the pre-literate consciousness exists in that boundless experience...........floating in the womb attached to the umbilical listening to the heartbeat of your mother............
it takes a few years for the child to come to terms with the ejection from the womb.............and we spend our lives trying to get back.
language forms in our minds and we speak. the literate world collapses any chance of returning to the warm fluid sac. so we turn away and venture forth, looking to surrogate that joy.
there are moments, of course, where we are so happy we are speachless. (look at the language.........speechless.) but we soon return to the word-formed world away from the warmth and security of mother.
so we become desperate for those experiences that allow us to transcend our linguistic prison any way we can.
stop the words, i want off........we cry.
crying does no good.
stopping the words does.
relax and let the words trail off and imagine looking deep into the dark behind your mind............................deeper and quietly let images form and go by.
pretty soon your breathing will level off and your heart will stop beating as fast and you will notice less words coming at you.
back to the pre-literate womb.
the authentic self.
the more you do that consistantly, the more you will have access to the authentic self any time you need to be there.
and your life and the whole universe will change along with you.............
but that`s another story.
