Fire and reality

The weather is cold, grey and wet. I am pottering. There is a mild yearning to be consumed by a non-egoic meta-thought.

There is the image of a small spark from the unconscious igniting a roaring fire before it goes down and out. Where does a fire go to when the logs have turned to ash? Where do thoughts and feelings go to when they leave the attention centre?

Fire is created in a wood burning stove. Reality is created in an attention centre. Fire is built from kindling and logs that are delivered by a fireman. Reality is built from the passing thoughts and feelings that are delivered from the unconscious. Both fire and reality hang around for a while and then are gone. The agent for fire is the fireman. The agent for reality is the unconscious.

There have been threats of anxiety, panic and depression several times today. But they were noticed before applying match to firelighter so they slunk away without causing a fuss and allowed consumption by a non-egoic meta-thought on a cold, grey day.
