I’M IN RIVERSIDE, SINCE LAST SUNDAY. I’M IN THE COMPANY OF THE 2 FEMALE CATS IN THE HOUSE. AS I EXPECTED, I COULD NOT MEDITATE THESE LAST DAYS. HERE IT’S TOO HOT AT NIGHT.

I WAS READING THE LAST DIARY OF JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI. THE CHAPTER ON WHICH HE EXPLAINS THINGS ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH. THAT LIFE AND DEATH AREN’T 2 SEPARATED THINGS. IT’S HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND SUCH A STATEMENT. BUT OF COURSE, COMING FROM AN ENLIGHTENED PERSON, THAT SOUNDS EVEN NATURAL.

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE DIMENSION OF THE MIND FROM WHICH YOU SEE EVERYTHING CLEAR, LIKE THAT – IN LIFE ITSELF YOU CAN LIVE WITH DEATH. FOR ME BOTH ARE SO MUCH SEPARATED THAT I CAN’T SEE THE CONTINUITY.  BUT FOR HIM THERE IS A RENEWAL IN DEATH. ALSO, FOR HIM, LIFE AS WE KNOW IT ( FROM THE DIMENSION OF THE “EGO” OR” THE SELF”) IS BASED IN TIME, AND TIME IS THE OPPOSITE OF OBSERVATION AND LIFE.

SO, IN THIS PARTICULAR KIND OF DEATH, YOU RENEW YOUR OWN LIFE. THIS DEATH FOR HIM MEANS TO DIE FOR YESTERDAY. FOR EVERYTHING THAT PASSED. FOR YOUR ATTACHMENTS, IT MEANS FOR YOUR “EGO”. IT’S LIKE THE MESSAGE OF THE ZEN BUDDHISM, AND SO MANY OTHER MESSAGES TOLD BY THE EASTERN RELIGIONS.

I CAN SAY FOR MYSELF, THAT IN THE MOMENTS WE LIFE A KIND OF EXPERIENCE IN WHICH WE ARE TOTALLY PRESENT WITH OUR SOUL AND BODY, WE LIVE A KIND OF DEATH FOR OURSELVES. WE FORGET ABOUT PAST AND FUTURE, BECAUSE WE ARE FULLY IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. AND I GUESS THIS IS WHAT HE TALKS ABOUT.

I CAN SAY THAT I LIVED VERY NICE MOMENTS LIKE THAT,AND THEN I WASN’T WORRIED ABOUT MY OWN LIFE. I WAS MORE CONNECTED WITH THE OTHERS AND THE OTHERNESS., WITH “THAT WHICH IS”. I MEAN, WITH THAT EXISTING TRUTH BUT NOT LIKE WE SEE IT, THROUGH OUR COLOURED LENSES. SO REALITY CAN DEVELOP WITHOUT HINDRANCE.
