On this spiritual journey, I’ve abandoned my old identity. Scrapping the old, for the unknown is a decision I made unconsciously. The old me was never who I truly intended to be. Who I am, is beneath the layers of conditioning, and these layers are like the layers of pollution attached to our atmosphere. Beneath the surface I found compulsory activity. Activity I had no control over. Like an addict, I moved through impulse. The material, passion, lust, relationships, thoughts, were all artificial, were all out of my control. My existence was superficial. My existence was planned out meticulously, not by me, but by a far-removed society. Not by me, but from conditions that prefabricated my identity. At some point it clicked, things just made sense. This life I was living was a mere simulation of the elite’s domination, and to truly live is to break the cycle and create my reality. A reality where harmony dictates and sustainability liberates. A reality where death is an opportunity to resurrect as life itself. A reality where my old identity is what truly dies and my rebirth ascends infinitely.
