In virtually all ancient religions and philosophies, one can appreciate a search for the transcendent, a search for something beyond the present, beyond current situations, as if the only possibility of feeling integrated with that part that human beings feel is eternal were in a distant place.
Throughout my life I have encountered many types of philosophies and religions, and I have verified how education is given about a concept that is usually always taken for granted, the concept that truth, freedom, and happiness are found in a place far from oneself. It is true that through meditation one seeks to find freedom and union with the transcendent being, but it remains true for many Eastern religions that the cycle of life and death, of death and rebirth, holds great importance.
With this we are once again projecting ourselves toward an indeterminate future, a future in which we will find freedom, a freedom that is not found here and exists elsewhere. My experience is different, something I have felt and which, in light of this, seems somewhat out of place, and it is the happiness of not wishing to transcend, the happiness of becoming a breath of energy. For me, transcendent union is limited to a dissolution and transformation into a breeze of air, and if it happens to be one of the paths I have walked or am walking through nature, then perfect. I have no need for resurrection, I have no need for reincarnation, and I have no need for the ambition to become an enlightened being.
I only wish to be a breeze of air on a path as beautiful as those I have found in my life. I have no interest in education for eternity.
