On trust or How to let go?

“The mind is so crowded with the known, which is the product of thought. The mind is filled with past knowledge, past experience, the whole of memory - which is a part of the brain - it is filled with the known. ... So when the whole mind, including the brain, is empty of the known, then you will use the known when it is necessary, but functioning always from the unknown - from the mind that is free of the known.”

Krishnamurti, the Impossible Question

Letting go of the mind is the most difficult process I have ever wanted to be a part of. The moment you decide to trust (believe?) rather than 'know' your way around is the one you keep coming back to. You need to keep making the choice over and over again. You. Me. Whoever wants to.

A constant fight with a habit of how one has been used to live up to the point of making the choice. That always comes back. Because you learn, you gather experience and you move on. In the curved space space.

And the intensity of the emotion that you come across. Emotion that you put away because they might hurt you. One protects oneself. And when you welcome the emotion, the first time is like a car crash. A beautiful intense emotion comes when least expected. And there is no good or bad, there is just observation, experience, letting go.

When it starts pulling to much you learn how to drop and move on.

And trust that what really needs to be a part of you will bounce back.

We know that we are energy. And we know how energy functions. So it is not so hard to imagine.

It takes a lot of imagination.

And it feels like life is over, you have no more control. You don't live in a box. And at first you have no idea who you are.

Matrix?

But slowly you start to recognize what is and what not. You make choices and you keep reminding yourself. And you sail.

You sail.

I sail.

Sun sails.
