Answer 1

I am a bird.

I have to fly,
All around the sky,
Where there are no walls.

I am a bird,.
By birth.
To be free always,
Freedom is my birth right.

I hate walls and cages.
By my determination,
Any wall can easily come,
Trembling down.

I have to fly to reach,
That ultimate wall of Universe,
To break that one day.

Answer 2

My instant thought is that leaving the comfort zone of ego-self is enervating and unfamiliar--we don't know where to go with the "new" status that we are experiencing, how to be "with" it. A certain amount of nervousness will arise, almost a "fight or flight" response. In some respect we sense that we are giving up (feels more like "losing") control and entering a different neighborhood where we've never hung out. It seems to come down to a matter of TRUST, for we've always trusted ourselves, though that trust has failed us time and again in the world of duality where the false self (ego) is revered. The walls are slow to fall because they are the very rampart that protects the ego, and we cling to the familiar. Too, lifetimes of habits and patterns have been established, and the "groove" of samskaras is deep; there is much to be overcome. As the building of the walls took place over time, so must their deconstruction. My own walls "seem" to be crumbling very slowly, but I do trust the process. And, I might add, one cannot judge the experience nor the end result, but must flow in the moment. In that way, one will be carried appropriately along the current of the dharma. I suggest you email Asha (one of my contacts) who has much to say about this difficult unwalling of the ego fortress. I am Sirius

Boy, you're getting your points worth out of this question.1. Flowing makes you nervous because you don't have a handle on it and you can't adjust it. Sometimes it isn't fast enough and other times it's like a raging river 2. and the walls begin to crumble as it rushes by. 3. I leave my walls to join with nature on 13 acres of Western Maine Mts. but I seek them for shelter when the snow flies or the cold November gales.4. is the answer to it all . Where I go is my business. Or it will be as soon as I get there and settle down. You'll know.

Answer 4

Some of us are more nervous than others. Nervousness is part of 'what is' just like having nerves of steel is 'what is'. The whole bundle of life is 'what is'. Even wanting it to be different is 'what is'! Until we realize this, we will be straining against 'what is' and we will continue to suffer.

Seeming walls are 'what is'. There is no place to go, but right here. If there is discontent, suffering, whatever, "it" is ''what is'.

There is no place to go. When we try to 'get there' we end up 'right here'. The only escape is to be with 'what is' as it is.

Answer 5

the unknown is always scary. Sometimes you need to leave walls behind, if they were holding you prisoner.

Where do you go from there? Forward, inexorably toward an uncertain future, head high, with nervous anticipation perhaps, but with self-confidence that you will make it, whatever it is you seek.

Life is meant to be challenging. their will alway be walls to climb over or go though. But it is good exercise, and in time you will get better at it. Meditate/pray, do mind-body exercise, eat healthy, and don't over indulge. This will make you stronger spiritually, to help you with the walls, and give you intuition, to keep you safe so you won't get as nervous. Keep an open mind, to what ever good spiritual ideas come your way, and you will be able to go though even bigger walls.

Answer 7

The nervousness comes from the ego which fears its own extinction in that 'not-knowing' state, whereas if it learns to relax into that 'not-knowing state for a while and then slowly stretch that moment to another moment and another, it can slowly learn to transcend itself, and merge with super ego, or the divine self.

This is where the practise of meditation helps, as it is all still the mind enough to surrender to the moment, and live in pure being for a moment, and then another.

The practise of meditation helps us stretch that moment when we are by ourselves, later we get to practise the same stillness, and stretch beyond the present moment without having a panic reaction " Oh God, what I'm gonna do, I am alone in it!" That is when this fear of being acutely alone takes over and we act out of fear, from our mind rather than our inner guidance, which steps in when we are relaxed and in the moment, or pure being.

Stretching our limitation from beyond a single second, is a journey of this lifetime and indeed many, as we learn to live in a state of grace, and ultimately stretch it eternally.

Answer 8

If you are nervous, maybe there is a reason.

I didn't know that the walls come crumbling down. I was under the impression that one became aware that there are no walls.

If it is not a gentle and easy feeling that makes perfect sense, then maybe you are rushing yourself.

Answer 9

Our vibrational rate has risen and is going to get higher. It can make you anxious until your DNA has fully responded to the higher frequency. We are stepping into 5th dimensional living. The planet is ascending also. Her vibrational rate is changing. Once you get the walls falling it gets easier like a domino effect. You will know where to go from there. Just be.
