THE BLACK DOT

The purpose of this writing is to free the reader from the captivity of their own mind, from the people in their thoughts, from the beliefs those people represent, and from the emotions those beliefs serve. It is to help them see the truth.

Truth is singular. It is one. And it is seen all at once. Once seen, one awakens from one to One. I hope this simple piece nudges the reader, stirring them from their slumber.

Can you take a close look at the image above my writing?

With all your attention.

A little more carefully, please.

What do you see?

You saw a black dot, didn’t you?

Congratulations…

You share the same mindset as ninety-nine out of a hundred people.

I wasn’t lazy—I asked a hundred people, and ninety-nine gave the same answer. None of them noticed the WHITE space occupying far more area than the black dot. No one paid attention to the vast whiteness. And yet, isn't there much more white than black? Just like in life.

We get caught up in the dark spots, drowning in sorrow, despite the abundance of beauty surrounding us.

Perhaps you read The Little Prince in your childhood. I have grown up, yet I still pick it up now and then, reading it over and over again.

He, too, suffers from the same affliction in the part where he talks about the red rose.

Even though there is a magnificent rose spreading its sweet fragrance, people fixate on its thorns...

May we learn to see the whole and choose the beauty.
