Egg Meditation
Consider the egg.
The arch of the heavens in the nest of a Robin.
The new sun born in the White Goddess' womb.
The path of Obourous, uncreated and unending;
This is the egg. The birthplace of eternity.
You too are an egg. Feel the walls of your shell, close about you. It is
your home; safe secure and warm; the darkness comforting. But what once
you built with all the space in the universe has become cramped.
It constrains movement, blocking the new growth that needs to be. And as
the seed swells with the dampness of spring, and the young grasses
stretch toward the light; so too the bird of your soul yearns for the
open skies.
See the walls of your mind's shell; Smooth worn from old broodings;
featureless white; old thought; old paths; old circles; greying walls of
your own construction limiting your view of untold other worlds.
What once was a protection against the chaos of the unknown, now holds
you back from your rightful place among the winged ones outside.
Peck. Flex the wings of your mind. Your first effort may have little
effect. Perhaps a crack; a shivering roll. This isn't the easiest of
processes.
That which limits you doesn't give up without a fight. Persevere. Again,
chip, crack, strain against the walls that limit you. See the breaks
begin. A need arises, powerful; a drive toward your own birth. Again -
strike against your shell; push against your own limits; Feel the egg
crack;
The light of the new world welcomes you. Rise up. echo the power about
you. Yourself a newborn sun freed from the darkness. Feel the freedom.
Feel the power. Feel the vastness of all that is. This is a place beyond
time
Watch as the rays of your being illuminate space about you. Before you
see the worlds, all the new ways to be.
See all the possible configurations of your life, filled with potential.
The choice of your future is yours alone, but it's all beautiful. Look
about you. You must remember this place. All you could be is here; in
all your possible permutations, and a goodly number of impossible ones
as well. Seek now, find your brightest and your best, your saddest, the
most destitute, your most loving and loved, the wisest and the most
happy. Go to them. Speak with them, it's been a long time since your
last re-union.
Hear their words; remember their lives paths, they were your own.
Finally, you must return, your possible selves turn back to their own
lives; each themselves the wiser for having been you. And you, you look
back to the route traveled by that one who is most happy. Remember the
landmarks there, as you return to your current self, this might be a
good path to travel with your body later... Return.
See about yourself the shining glow of your new shell of knowledge and
power. Like an atom; you are surrounded by the probabilities of your
life. And having seen, you have the power to determine which of them
will come about.
Feel your field of energy release; snapping into the configuration that
you knew it should be.
None of the rest are gone; their potential is latent in configuration of
cosmos. All you touch now is part of your own and you are in all.
Now!
Open your eyes;
Sense the world thru your revitalized senses.
Be here, now.
Get on with it.
