Learn to Unlearn

I refrain from few dear ones not because our wavelengths are different, not because they are rude, but they have taken on their fair share of hardships and conformities of life, which has made many a shell around their minds. I withdraw from venturing too far with them as  I sense a growing distance, an inner disconnect within them which can easily hurt others around them in their complacent oblivion. See the thing is we all must learn to unlearn, for the ways of the world has a habit of transforming our mind and soul into stone thats rigid and impenetrable. it keeps layering over and over us until we become immovable on its surface. Life when living becomes non-living, this a truth we often ignore for our definition of life is basic animation. It’s far more than that, but due to the majority rule we accept incomplete definition of living. But our ascension will quietly fade away from us no matter how much we fast or pray. While our rigidity may be resourceful for mundane repetitions of our lives, it will rob us of our continued understanding of the universe and the beautiful unknown. We have to be like a river, a river is never at the same place twice. We often talk about growth, change and adaptability. But those are baseless terms and hinge upon the value of unlearning that must occur in your life. Not forgetfulness but intentional discarding of beliefs and practices that was once cherished and celebrated. We must constantly unlearn the things that unknowingly weigh us down, those which do not pass the test of inner alignment anymore, that which perhaps continues to exists in us out of tradition, upbringing or even from the dogma of living. For instance, I laid down the weight of religion from me. The miraculous thing is it made me admire appreciate all the religions, including the one I left on the wayside. I left many aspects of my upbringing such as hierarchal systems, as it too carried despair and desperation on me. I find many dear ones stuck and lost in such conditions. Its not an easy road, I want to unlearn the narrow definition of happiness posed by material society, continuously working on it. Because language has taught us happiness and peace are different when it’s not as one is a pathway and the other a mere reflection. There is so much more to unlearn. what if I told you each language, culture comes to you with a set of invisible rules that you are raised to unknowingly be complaint to. I know not how to convey all this. But I wish to embark you on this important journey of unlearning to free your soul to see the true beauty, the real barriers beyond those that are spoken of. All i can say is Learn to unlearn, then unlearn to learn the unknown . APTTU. I write to rest my heart, for the unknowns perfection forgives my imperfections.
