1. You’re more in touch with your spiritual foundations through transformative meditation:
You
realize, as Jung noted, that “the experience of the Self is always a
defeat for the Ego.” And through the seven primary chakras you are
becoming one with the cosmos, receptive to stimuli to which, in the time
before, you were insensate.
You’ve felt the powerful
kundalini energy rising up from your roots, passing through the sacred waters of the
sacral, basking in the fire of the
solar plexus, breathing in the vital breath of the
heart, absorbing the ethereal voice of the
throat, pouring through the dissolution of the
Third Eye, and spilling up and out like a mighty fountainhead into the greater cosmos.
2. You are beginning to want more freedom and less stuff:
Your
heart is not heavy with materialistic burden. You understand that
ownership-based love can never be true love. You realize like Osho said,
“Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.” And
although there are some people in the world who are so poor all they
have is money, you continue to love without expecting anything in
return. You have frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation for the
abundance the natural world has to offer. Like Gandhi, you live simply
so that others may simply live.
3. You realize that the door to your prison cell is wide open (and always has been):
Rumi, “Why do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?”
You
have a growing propensity toward breaking mental paradigms, stretching
comfort zones and thinking outside of the current box. You have a
tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from fears based on
past experiences, and you are constantly attempting to recondition any
and all preconditions.
You enjoy each moment, relishing, in
carpe-diem-ecstasy, your bountiful freedom. It was Rumi who asked, “Why
do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?”
4. The world is a playground, and you are on recess:
You
don’t take yourself too seriously. You realize that, though hard work
is necessary, sincere play is paramount. You understand that play is the
only way that the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold. Your
sense of humor has become your safety net. You understand that sincerity
is primary and should always trump seriousness. Like Nietzsche wrote,
“The struggle of maturity is to recover the seriousness of a child at
play.”
