[with/out a cause]

To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibly plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly grounded in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness and concentration. You can attain many insights by looking into the past. But you are still grounded in the present moment.

How amazing it is, to reflect on how far things have come.

My light shines brightly than ever before. I hope you are also feeling full, today, fellow traveler. Though the journey is long and arduous, there are shimmering sunbeams ahead. They keep us warm; they nourish and feed us.

Be well, do your best, and trust in Love to support and guide you along the way. The Universe always listens. She is our mother, our sister, our friend.

I stopped looking for the light. Decided to become it instead.

**Ego Death.**

Ego Death is a “complete loss of subjective Self-Identity.” In Jungian psychology the synonymous term Psychic Death is used, which refers to a fundamental Transformation of the Psyche. In the Death and Rebirth Mythology, Ego Death is a phase of Self-Surrender and Transition.

Ego Death is an Imageless Experience in which there is no sense of personal Identity. It is the Experience that remains possible in a state of extremely Deep Trance when the Ego-Functions of Reality-Testing, Sense-Perception, Memory, Reason, Fantasy and Self-Representation are Repressed. Muslim Sufis call it Fana (Annihilation), and Medieval Kabbalists termed it “The Kiss of Death”.

It is complete Transcendence − beyond Words, beyond Space−Time, beyond Self. There are no Visions, no Sense of Self, no Thoughts. There are only Pure Awareness and Ecstatic Freedom.
