I know this journey all too well. Continually letting old parts of myself go with gratitude for getting me to where I am today. It’s the dying / rebirth process, always in motion. We must surrender to change (which is the natural flow of life) if we are to uncover who we are. Thank you again for your introspection.
I appreciate your comment about not needing to flee to a monastery. I think renunciation is often misunderstood. A wise man once said not to mistake disgust with true renunciation. Fleeing from society is often just spiritual excapism. Fattening up the same ego that we're attempting to transcend. It's an inner shift—there's no need to go anywhere.
This post will be printed out. I will highlight the many things that I want consider thoughtfully. Thank you so much for writing. It was exactly what I needed today. ❤️
What a powerful message and only those who have walked it understand the pain of disappearing into the self but also the ecstasy of discovering the hidden gems. Thank you for this.

Thanks for writing about K.
As Woody Allen said, “Kierkegaard was right!”
He’s joking, playing on what every reader experiences as the impenetrability of K’s writing. And he’s ironically earnest also. Very Kierkegaardian.
Each individual in “Christendom” needs to face the despair of the isolated “self,” which needs to finds its proper relation to the eternal.
