Farewell to myself.

It's kind of strange, but I died..... sometime in the evening of September 2nd, 2006. I guess it wasn't an eventful death, according to my perspective, but some people say that the accident which caused it, was a gruesome one. I wouldn't know, because I was busy making a comeback. Three days later, I did make a comeback with many changes to this body. But the most significant change was in my mind. Or you could say, the absolute lack of it. Thoughtlessness. A blank screen with no scribblings or random images scrawled on it. Scary?? No.

I felt peace and I was able to comprehend what had happened to me. Instead of the usual melodrama when a tragedy occurs, I knew the cause and the consequences. I have no regrets about my previous life, which was lived to the point of no return. And yet this second chance proves that I'm destined for something more meaningful. What's that you say, destiny???? Are you serious kiddo, for you who never believed in fate?? I guess all you sceptics have a different view.

I know for a fact that this world is not real. These senses, their interactions and these lives that we lead, are not part of reality. Absolutism doesn't include these mirages. What is real then, what are we living for? I don't have the answer that you're looking for, but I know the way to it. My death was miraculous such that, I was shown the consequences of my previous life; so that I don't err again. So someday I'll meet myself, and ask if it was really worth it.

And once when I reach the Absolute, when I'll know what reality really is, all that I stood for and all the roads that I walked through will cease to be. I'll no longer be here to judge my lives, for I'll be far away and part of a higher consciousness. Maybe this goal is beyond what I am today, but that doesn't mean its unattainable.

So for today, farewell, to what I was. The new look maybe different, but there is much work to do.....

Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew..they are what make the instrument stretch-what make you go beyond the norm..
