No Life Starts With Eternity: So Every Life Will Be Curious To Search for It.
So what starts our journey to become awakened?
One of my favourite philosophies from Siddhartha Buddha is about eternity.
Below I have written about the feeling I receive when I observe the word 'eternal.'
I hope it inspires you to observe it more and find a little piece of freedom you couldn't access before.
No life starts with eternity.
What is eternity?
Not our bodies. Nor our breath nor belongings. Our identity was formed once, and even our name was given to us.
The words we use are not even our own. Everything we can find comes from outside. And outside is changing.
So where can we find eternal?
Buddha explained it is through the temporary that we can find eternal.
Why is life this way?
If we already had eternity, we would never value it.
No life starts with eternity.
So that search will lead them to create a temporary ego and identity and create and receive suffering.
Developing wisdom is the path to freedom from those ego identities and releasing those sufferings.
One day when the wisdom is high enough, the consciousness awakens to understand eternity.
Those awakened consciousness begin a new journey.
A journey to share with other life how they awakened. This is the journey of compassion.
Without curiosity, no journey would start.
Without a journey, then there is nothing to experience
No experience, so no observations.
No observations, then wisdom will not grow.
If no wisdom grows, then what can we share?
If there is nothing to share, where is kindness? Where is care for each other?
From curiosity to searching. Searching to suffering. Suffering to observation. Observation to wisdom. Wisdom to sharing compassion.
The awakened heart is away from ego, negative, blindness and greed.
The awakened heart is towards kindness, care, joy and freedom.
The pure heart seed of curiosity to understand life is our direction to one day become awakened.
