Itβs been a challenge writing this one. What I am seeking to describe can never be fully captured in words.
Still, is there anything more human than to wonder, to reach out, to seek to understand?
The way I see it, we begin life close to God, to the universe and to all things. Which is of course, 3 ways to say the same thing. And there are many more. The Sufiβs call it The Beloved. Jewish mystics refer to it as Ein Sof, meaning no end, no limit.
I believe there is a great connectedness to this world we find ourselves in and of, and yet, slowly, we grow up and fall fo r the idea that weβre all separate and isolated. Iβve fallen for this idea The grand illusion is that we think weβre finding our way by building up our identities, our accomplishments, our empires, but really we grow blind to what we are and where we come from.
I want to see clearly. I want to see beyond this illusion. I want to wake up. I need to remember that Iβm not separate from the world around me. I can see that the things that I cling to, the things I want to own, own me. They blind me. I must surrender to all that I am terrified by. Freedom comes from letting go. Thatβs is. It sounds simple, because it is simple. Even so, Iβm coming to realize that letting go of everything that I know about myself is perhaps the most terrifying thing I can seek to do.
Still, I find myself doing what I can to peel away the layers. Tearing off my armor, every last one of the walls must come down. It will take me a while, but eventually, I will go home. Maybe when I can see clearly, Iβll see that I am already home.
I have to remind myself that in the moments that I feel lost, Iβm not actually lost, thatβs just a thought. I canβt get lost if truly I am made of the same stuff as the stars above me and the dirt beneath me.
Nothing real can be lost.
Iβve come to learn that beyond every fear is a new discovery I will make about myself. I let the things that scare me be my sign posts, telling me where I must go next. What a gift, to be able to keep learning about myself.
And so I find myself in conversation with fear. It is not a conversation to be had with the mind, but with the heart. If fear is the tunnel, than my heart is the torch, the lantern, illuminating just enough for me to take my next steps.
When I am acting with my heart, I can say to fear: βHello my dear friend, I see you. My mind tells me to hate you, to destroy but my heart tells me to be curious about you, to move towards you. I want to get to know you better because you teach me so much about me.β
Living this way is a simple recipe for a very rich life. I must say, I highly recommend it.
The heart doesnβt think, it isnβt strategic. It just experiences. All that counts is that I donβt protect my heart, because the heart is not for protecting.
So knock me down and break my heart a thousand times and give me a full serving of everything that comes with being human and Iβll thank you every single time because at least I am alive and feeling and learning. Learning to take off the armor. I am on my way back home.Why Traveling to Europe in Summer is a NightmareNathaniel Drew2023-08-04 | Use the code NATHANIEL with this link to get a discount when signing up to Lingoda: try.lingoda.com/NathanielDrew

For those of you looking for something new to listen to, I found Range by David Epstein incredibly insightful and comforting β in a world that puts SO MUCH pressure on being hyper-specialized and doing one single thing your whole life, it feels like you'll fall behind if you explore new things or make big life changes. This book offers a totally different perspective. I highly recommend it.

I have my monetization on for this video and will be donating the ad revenue to the fundraiser. Also, as I mentioned in the video, I will match the first $2,500 donated to the fundraiser, so you can double the impact of your giving. ;)
Also another way to help is to share this video! There were many misconceptions that I had about Islam before doing this and I found this experience quite eye-opening.

I don't pretend to have the answers but I am definitely looking. One of the things that concerns me the most is the throwaway culture that we live in. As part of the Earth Day: Non-Fungible Planet initiative from YouTube, I was sent to just about the last place I ever thought I would go. And I want to share with you what I found there.
