I was journaling this morning an came up for an analogy for awakening.

It's as if I'm in a labyrinth or a maze. As I started to disidentify from myself and where I was I started to focus on where I wanted to go. I was given the gift of seeing myself outside myself in the maze, and I saw where I had been, I saw the maze as a whole and felt in full the freedom of detachment from being one who is lost in the maze. 

Now I am back in the maze. I saw the maze as a whole, so why don't I just liberate myself? Now the labyrinth exists as a fictional idea in my head. Before me are the walls of the maze. I had a glimpse of the actual pattern of the paths but now I'm left with just the translation or image I made with the filter of my old mind patterns and flawed memory to go by. I saw how beautiful and perfectly designed the entire thing was. 

I also know that what I want is what I have. I want the thrill of working through the maze. The idea of liberation only exists in my mind as a story, as a goal, as a focal point. Without the concept of an "end" the story would be nonsensical, unsatisfying. What I really came for is the thrill of writing my own story, the challenge of working through the maze.

When the illusion of the separate self is completely seen through during Awakening, Duality can never be believed again.

It's simply recognized there isn't anything here for separation to be possible in the first place...

Even to discuss it as if it's a real thing is a misunderstanding. 

The illusory belief in separation does not make it real...❤
