Reality vs Deceit
Reality and deceit have one thing is common.
Truth.
Reality is the ultimate truth.
Deceit is the opposite of truth; lies, falsehood.
More to come...

Day to day
About a month ago I started daily meditation again.
I started doing this last summer, but for reasons unknown I stopped.
Until recent events caused a sudden, unexpected downturn in my life. I had completely forgotten the benefits of daily meditation.
Then one day I died. Not in any physical sense, no; I'm not allowed to do that.
Its like I started a wild fire within my mind. At first it is extremely destructive, everything is burned and destroyed, everything. But out of those flames, life is reborn.
This is what happened to me. If that makes sense.
Anyways, meditation has helped me realize many new things. Recently I discovered that I have a problem with selfishness. Its caused me to lose the love of my life, so to me this is a big issue. One that I hope to eventually correct. I would like to report that I have made progress in becoming unselfish. And i'm happier because of it.

Night
Its 2:54 am.
I sit on the couch in my living room. Everything is quiet and still. I turn my head and look outside, its almost as if I am looking into a picture.
I like the night.
I don't know if its because I am inherently nocturnal or if it resembles the place my mind is trying to reach. I would say its a combination of the two. When my mind is quite and still I am able to explore my thoughts. Not overcome by emotion, I am able to take a more omniscient view of my life and my emotions. I am able to see were they come from and why. Equally as important I am able to let go. Learning how to let go was one of the hardest things I have ever done and to me represents a huge accomplishment.
Its 3:05 am.
