There is grieving for all that has never been and never will be.
There is grieving for all the lives never lived by anyone.
There is grieving for a good story, a bad story, that never happened.
There is grieving for all the things that were held dear & meaningful that never were.
There is grieving for relationships wanted and unwanted, but now seen as neutral & empty.
There is grieving for a self that never existed at all.
In this grieving, there’s a recognition that it’s safe to say goodbye to it all.
Nothing can be held on to or clung to.
And it is a sweet sorrow to grieve. There’s a relief here.
And grieving shall continue until it doesn’t.
There’s also an understanding that nothing real can be lost or gained that would change the decision to bring the illusion of a separate self to its final end.
The last illusion to go is the sense of an energetic centre called a person and the belief that Enlightenment could ever be attained for that person.
The self cannot achieve a state of “Enlightenment” because the self, or person, is an illusion.
There was and is only ever Absolute Nothingness appearing as Everything.
The death of an illusion is realized as the only real death. Nobody real dies, or passes away; only illusions do.
“All on the earth shall pass away, but the face of thy Lord.”
This is the True attainment of the Peerless Pavilion of the Eternal. And it happens to no one.
