DIS-ILLUSIONMENT - Jeff Foster
When
you are young, it is tempting to think that you have all the answers.
Then you grow, and you suffer, and bit by bit, life chisels away at your
defence mechanisms, and your certainties, and you start to doubt
everything you once were sure of.
Faced with the impermanence of
things, you may even reach a point of total disillusionment – with
yourself, with the world, with your belief systems, with your
relationships, with your career, with everything you once took for
granted. This dis-illusionment, this breaking down of illusions, can
lead either to a lifetime of depression, fear and a bitter shutting-off
from life, or – when listened to – it can become a portal to liberation,
to the letting go of the false, and the discovery of the truth of who
we really are.
I love it when people come to me in “crisis”,
totally dis-illusioned with their lives. I always see it as a new
beginning for them, an invitation to a life beyond illusions, to a life
of deep rest and true connection. I meet them exactly where they are.
The word “crisis” does not actually mean “disaster”, but “turning
point”. Let us turn towards disillusionment, and hear its deeper call.
