1)---EXERCISE:
Take a moment to be aware of your current state.
Now, imagine that yesterday you died.
You are exactly where you are right now,
only you are dead.
Nothing has changed,
except that you are dead.
Everything that you do from here on out
is the action of a dead person
– it means nothing.
Try as you might,
your actions have no effect.
Your touch is that of a ghost,
your mightiest efforts like
a soft breeze
2)---EXERCISE:
Your friends call your name,
but as you reach out to them,
you see that they too are ghosts.
All that you hold dear,
is like a storybook
– it existed,
but was made to be set aside
3)---EXERCISE:
In all the universe,
there is only you.
Utterly powerless to even cast a shadow upon
a wall
4)---EXERCISE:
You are dead, yet you feel alive.
A light shines through your form,
animating your thought.
Listen for your ceasing to be,
it is calling.
Let the ghost cry for the loss of it's self
– tears of Truth to set it free
5)---EXERCISE:
You died the day you were born.
How long will you wait
to go home?
