17. Life & Life Story

Life & Life Story

by Ori

To be in your body is to be in your life

To be in your head is to be in your life story

To quiet the mind is to quiet the life story

But after you quiet the life story then what?

After that you still need to realize life.

When it’s about the life story

Then meditation is about overcoming

When it’s about life

Then you just feel. You sense.

Then eventually you recognize the gift

And then the gratitude comes

When all you want is to improve your life story

Then all you get is to meditate in your mind

There is no awakening in that.

A better life story is not awakening.

Awakening is Life first. Before your life story

Often we enter life through the life story

That’s why we don’t want to disregard it.

It’s the doorway we are presented with

and we want to honor that.

But it’s just the entry point

Because as much as you can dream your life story big

It’s still very limited.

The biggest life story you can imagine

Will always be much much smaller than Life itself

Much smaller than what you are.
