The Journey

It is a meditation - a walk to remember - that also involves chartering the hitherto far untrodden/unchartered course in milestones and arriving at the product of ones meditation, and then further on living the product of ones meditations as a worthy mark on the sands of time to say 'I have walked through here at this point in time and this is my contribution and value-addition to the Ocean of Consciousness; and this is what I owe to my Self - my gift to my Self - my produce/legacy.' It is not a laid path but one that must be discovered as one travels meditating on the object of ones attentions. It usually starts with a fascination for something, one that fires a person's curiosity and has one track the trail irresistibly such that ones deepest satisfaction (soul-satisfaction) lies in following the path to what may lie on that path to be discovered.

You may want to read this post named, The Initiation (<--click here) that you may perhaps understand better on what I talk about here. (Somethings are just difficult to put in words, especially these experiential things!, so doing the best I can in these posts.)

Ok, so the above, I know, seems cryptic so let me elaborate a bit.

Have you heard of the adage that 'we are all travelers in the train of life?' where our co-travelers are on their own journeys and will board onto our compartment when it is time for them to come aboard and with alight from the compartment when it is time for them to move to the next leg of their journey? Well, it is a philosophical thought but then not something too difficult to imagine in our everyday living. We meet people through the day (much like a passenger boards that day's compartment that we happen to be traveling in and would depart for the day when it is time for them to go to whereever they need to go to). Some of them are family members and we travel together for a long distance; some of them are acquaintances we may never meet again. Both sets of people (and every other sets in between) are travel-mates and have their own life-journeys and would alight when their station comes to catch another train (and we meet another day or not) or go to where they need to go to because we each are unique individuals (duh) and have our own breaths and dont breathe for another though may support each other (or not) to breathe easy. The point is, you and I have our own unique journey because we each have our own life that we need to live and take care of ourselves and be responsible to live it the way it needs to be lived, at least to our own soul's satisfaction and at least be able to face our own conscience when we ask ourselves 'how am I?' and be able to answer at least to our conscience and when looking in the mirror into our own eyes that 'I am happy' in the true sense of the word and really mean it. {Short exercise: Make a list of things that make you happy. Make another list of things you do through a typical day. Compare the two lists. Make adjustments).

{Lots to be written on this topic. Will addend this post over time; I simply need to write this appropriately coz some things are simply super important. If you, dear Earthmate, are wondering what is so important about one's personal Journey, then consider that I refer to a Quest or Purpose of living or Aim or LifeVision that I speak about in the attainment of which one needs to deliberate on one's Journey. Super super important for health and fitness and quality of living and ..oh just about everything. Will update soon.}
