How does one integrate this knowledge?
Or is “integrate” the right word?
“Deconstruct” may be better.
There’s so much that needs to be let go of, so many views that no longer fit.
Which am I – the person I was yesterday that fit in or the person I am today that more often now does not?
The person I am is a question mark, a new car I bought but haven’t driven yet. The person I was is a known quantity, if a clunker.
I got off the bus today and walked down the street in a daze. I was walking very slowly, much slower than anyone else. I no longer know which world I’m in, in a manner of speaking.
I’m not talking dimensionally, just consciously. I’ve left the world of the past without entering the world of … what? Where did I put my manual?
I once “knew” who I was; now I no longer do. Oh yes, I do at essence (for sure) but I no longer do at an everyday level.
I haven’t “put myself back together again” yet (I don’t “have my face on”) and I’m not sure if I should even do so.
I have to go with the deeper knowing. I know the surface knowing will no longer serve me.
I’m going to look like a wierdo for a while until I learn how to walk and talk again.
The metaphor I think of right now is that I’ve been watching the tsunami a long way off and it now has reached the shore. It’s demolishing the structures of my beliefs. How much will survive?
