It was while returning from a 10-day retreat in the desert,
That ironically,
On my return to the city,
I saw the world dead!
I felt like I was walking
In the middle of a ghost town
Populated by zombies
Undead all around me
But where has Life gone?
Cohorts of people,
Walking fast, running sometimes,
Very busy going “somewhere”,
Very busy doing “something”,
In a hurry to hurry,
In a hurry to be oppressed
On their faces?
The tension
In their eyes?
The emptiness
In their vibration?
Not an ounce of life
I was for a long time this zombie
In spite of myself
Caught in a perverse system
That made me give up today
In the hope of a tomorrow
Tomorrow, a weekend at the sea
Tomorrow, a week’s vacation in the sun
Tomorrow, a more elegant jacket,
Tomorrow a bigger phone
… and today my misery in the face
I traded my wonderful “Today” for a miserable
For a miserable tomorrow
Tomorrow does not exist
It will never exist
We have been conditioned
Manipulated often
But let’s be honest with ourselves
We have mostly conditioned ourselves
It is a reflex of protection
To adapt to others
To avoid being alone
For fear of not being loved
To adapt and survive
To accept stress in the hope of ….
Paradoxically, stress is
A very efficient way to maintain
The survival of a species
But only the biological survival…
Not LIFE in capital letters!
Humanity is in survival mode
And even worse
85% of the human population
will die before knowing what LIFE is
I saw the world dead !
I am sad
How to defuse then
All these conditionings that hinder us?
How to get out of stress?
Leave the survival mode?
Let go of the illusions of a “tomorrow
To live this Today
Free
The path I discovered
Passes through my belly
In the heart of my Inner Planet
It is at the crossroads of quantum mechanics
Of spirituality
And common sense…
To defuse the mind
Bring my consciousness
On what connects me to the experience of life: my body.
Let go of the emotional
Connecting to the sensory
The vibration of Life in me
Is a physical sensation
The vibration of Love in me
Is a physical sensation
Not an idea, not a thought
In the emptiness of my deepest being
I discover inner security
Harmonizes my energies
Free from my fears
I leave the survival mode
I taste Life
To beauty
To softness
To “I don’t know
To the “I have the right
To the delights of today
No more oppression of “tomorrow
I manipulate myself less and less
I am less and less manipulable
I am sovereign
Love is the Energy !
