A Lesson from the Spirit
Organize the space around you.
Right now it is very important to understand the meaning of every spoken word.
To organize the space around you is not a metaphor or a philosophical aphorism. It is a simple truth you have forgotten simply because there was no need to remember it, simply because you chose to remain in oblivion.
Once, having known failures and losses, you decided to stay in oblivion, forgetting your lot and your purpose. Waiting for something there, in oblivion, your path would outline itself by mere waiting, by biding your time for something.
But you only obtained a formless state of suffering.
Everything you touched and everywhere you went, you in one way or another felt certain difficulties with your inner dialogue, with your own mirror of the soul, with the imprint, that cast you left, like a seal sewn into the spatial layers.
Now the time has come to open this seal, to discover in it the voice of truth, the voice of reality.
Truth is not somewhere deep; it is around you, everywhere. You only need to change, to shift your usual gaze to the inner one. As if looking into a mirror and seeing a completely different picture. You will still feel behind your shoulders some shadows of doubt and fear, but looking at this reflection you will see there the real world, woven from a paradisal fabric of matter, which you had not seen before in the state of perception you were in just yesterday.
And as you peer into this mirror, you will more and more begin to sink into it, into that through-the-looking-glass which seemed to you a forgotten reality, a fiction, a myth.
And you will recognize in that legend yourself and those who surround you. For it was not a legend, but once the truth.
You are now forming a completely different route — a perfect one, the one that was meant to be fulfilled once.
To organize the space around you means to change the vantage point of your speech and gaze, to look through an inner prism of perceiving all that happens. It is so simple, yet sometimes incomprehensible to you. Simplicity is in everything, in meanings, in speech, in deeds, in actions, and even in your look and the word you speak.
You wanted to hide in oblivion, but you forgot yourself.
To accept the truth, to accept what is given to you as due — that is your path, the way out of that sleeping state into which you have driven yourself.
You built a refuge for the sleeper in a dungeon.
And in that dungeon there are no windows and doors, only that door which you will open yourself, having found the keys, having traced the route. Organize the space around you with your speech, deeds, gaze, thinking, and the door will swing open before you, by itself. And you, having opened that door, will come to know yourself.
