Every emotion is a doorway

Eventually, what you find is that all of life, every experience, every moment, every emotion is a doorway into your own wholeness and what you truly are. I was sitting meditating, it's like my freshman year of college, it was after my first awakening experience. I was sitting there meditating out in front of the dorms. I remember looking at the ground, and there was like these little ants on the ground, and they were crawling in me, and they were crawling on the leaves of the grass.

And I remember looking up, and the sun was out, and I looked up at the trees, and the trees all had kind of this shape. And it was like half the trees had like these leaves growing out the side, and the other half didn't have any leaves or very little. And I couldn't quite figure it out. And then I looked up, and then the sun, you know, was kind of at this angle, and you could see how the sun was hitting the trees all in the same spot.

And so all the trees in the row on the street were all growing in the same shape, reaching to the sun. In that moment, I just connected with the underlying nature of reality that all things are interconnected, that all things are one. and that no thing is distinct from another thing So, another doorway. Eventually, what you find is that all of life, every experience, every moment, every emotion is a doorway into your own wholeness and what you truly are.
