What is your goal in life? the woman conducting the hypnotherapy asked. I thought she does hypnosis. I did not think I needed hypnotherapy though it was helpful.
I thought for a moment, my mind blank and then responded, “Enlightenment.” I want to reach enlightenment. Even as I said it, it sounded like so far reaching.
Meditating at Church this morning, I asked myself, how do I reach enlightenment? Engaging in work with hospice when it came to me, meditation. Of course, meditation. Why do I always missed that point and always try to push myself to visible active work. Meditation. Buddhist monks engage in long periods of meditation to attain
enlightenment.
Driving back, for a moment I understood how saints felt, the longing for the other life. When one has a glimmer of life after, there is a longing for it. It is home, where we are returning.
