Reverse Meditation Quotes

“[T]o end contraction is to transc*end* the ego, which is why so much of the spiritual path is about letting go. The challenge we experience in attempting to let go reveals how much we love to grasp.”
― Andrew Holocek

“Self-consciousness . . . rips us away from the natural state of flow, and we become children of the damned. We choke the life-force energy and fall into self-referential "think-holes" that are deeper and darker than any black hole.”
― Andrew Holocek

“[T]he contraction of self-referencing can be thought of as gravitational pull. Like the planets in our solar system, everything in our lives orbits a narrative center of gravity--*me*. As long as we have an ego, everything is self-centered. . . . The gravitational metaphor takes on more weight when the sun is replaced by a black hole, and orbital processes are replaced be phenomena that just suck. . . . [E]verything gets sucked in to feed one massive me, like a supermassive black hole.”
