Where did it all go away?

The journey of a lifetime passes away in less than an instant.

And yet, it seems so persistent.

Consuming all our attention.

And then one wonders, where did it all go?

Nothing to say

There is no independent existence.

That means even emptiness or nothingness has no independent existence.

That means phenomena are essential, else nothingness would independently exist.

Consciousness is also dependent on other factors and has no independent existence.

There is really nothing that can be said other than this.

No independent existence.

Phenomena do not independently exist.

Emptiness does not independently exist.

Consciousness does not independently exist.

human nature and misery

 Human nature seems designed to prolong misery for all long as possible.

We keep suffering

We keep on  missing it.

How each instance of intense psychological suffering is due to the feeling of separation from the whole.

The feeling of being a separate individual stuck inside its own private hell of regret and guilt. 

Ignorance accumulated

There are a million worldly perceptions.

Each convinced regarding its own validity.

Yet, these only accumulate ignorance.

The path to Liberation

This is the only requirement for liberation.

Recognize awareness.

That is it.

Nothing else is needed.

Time

Time seems to have lot of weight.

All are terrified of time.

Fearful of time passing by.

Not achieving their goals.

Is the timeless bothered by time?
