Wait…if everything passes…then how can you trust anything?
The short answer is that you cannot. You simply cannot trust anything.
You cannot count on anything.
You cannot take anything for granted.
You cannot assume one way or the other. Well, you can’t do assume with any real certainty.
If everything passes, then that means that every day we are presented with the opportunity to create. Or, if you prefer, we are presented with the opportunity to co-create alongside our friends and family and colleagues and the Higher Power to which we turn for guidance. The “who” is relevant only to you and your journey. The fact remains that each day is truly new. When we awaken, we have only that which we have chosen to bring with us from the days that have come before.
Nothing lasts beyond the moments to which we cling. We ascribe meaning and sentiment to time that has passed, and these memories make up the things we bring with us each day. Everything passes. Nothing lasts. This is called impermanence. It is the true state of the Universe. It is the true state of our existence. The sooner we realize this, and the more firmly we can retain this understanding, then the happier we will be…and the closer we will be to enlightenment.
