Our Own Philosophy


Our own philosophy: 

it seems that inquiry and meditation should free us of philosophy, that by simply asking certain self revelatory questions regarding our identity that we would arrive to a point of letting go of all that would restrain us - every philosophy is the school of someone else's opinion and doesn't really serve our search for freedom, nor does it provide any sense of lasting ease for the reasons of our pain and sorrow. Philosophy is just a temporary understanding of who we are at any instant, it's never a true, and has little value outside the moment we relate to it. Perhaps what we need is our own philosophy, personal, and one that we willingly surrender to the greater mystery of life, as each moment a new understanding arises only to be let go of, our every insight seen immediately as belonging to us alone, not meant to be shared as a hard lined truth of who we really are. 

our's would be a philosophy of letting go, of surrender...

of not knowing who truly we are.

and that all of life is mystery. 

our own philosophy would be one of only asking questions related to each moment, self inquiry without the need of usual answers, as silence itself being the most truthful place we're ever led to. With this, nothing could be written down, there would be no ideals to guide us, and no opinions to hold as worthy ones to follow. It would all belong only to the moment of our asking, a personal revelation, temporary in any truth provided, and always a return to mystery. 

and if as any time this becomes a true philosophy...

we would simply let it go. 

our own philosophy is always, only, of this very moment.
