Yooooooooo
Hows life/hows your new years? Lmk, would love to hear <3
I was playing a thought exercise this evening after a couple of hours of meditating and thought i’d share:
Sat down in a comfy swivel chair and lay back,
Closed eyes
Then thought: What do I know?
Well I know I'm Monty/Lex, engineering, bangers blah blah blah - etc etc
But what do I actually know? What do I know with certainty?
I started with my name because it's something I feel like I know pretty well - In my direct experience I could think of my name, but this is simply a thought (and thoughts vanish as soon as it arrives if your mind is sharp enough to detect) so I guess I don't really 'know' this with certainty.
Went through the rest of my experiences, I mentally tore, through seeing it all as transient pictures and words, my surroundings, my job, my music, and came to my breath - What about my next breath? Do I know with certainty that I my stomach won’t, on an inhale, continue to rise unexpectedly, without stopping, past human limits, until I pop like a balloon? It's very unlikely, but do I actually know?
Each time I pulled back the certainty curtain over my eyes, freedom opened up, and the mundane aspect of breathing, or thinking, became exhilarating - I have absolutely no idea what the fuck is going to happen next, both in the next instant and in life - I have guesses, strong assumptions, but there is absolutely no certainty in anything in my experience. Me thinking otherwise I realise just causes stress.
Peace,
Lex
