#1323 - one and three
This morning I wanted to write about an idea I had this weekend while walking in the woods with my friend Luca, the "Eternal Spring Syndrome."
My mind, however, is unpredictable. So, this topic will have to wait for another day because this morning, in my meditation, I had a crazy thought.
I found myself thinking about the holy trinity for no reason I could make out. And it doesn't end there. A question emerged in my wandering mind. If god is one but made of three persons, and I am an image of god, then am I three persons in one too?
For a moment, I thought I was going crazy, but a part of my morning practice is to leave my mind wandering freely for ten minutes. Ten minutes every morning, I'm not forcing any objective on my thinking. I just sit in silence and observe my unleashed mind going wherever it wants.
So, after this question, my mind figures out that I am, in fact, three persons in one.
I am my past self with all my stories, experiences, wounds, successes and failures.
I am my present self with my talents, beliefs, conditioning, emotions, and thoughts (including the crazy ones).
And I am my future self with my vision, dreams and infinite possibilities.
These three persons are fused in me and give birth in every moment to the person you experience.
