This text’s title is a quote from the Rolling Stones song “Sway.”
When I heard the phrase “One day, I woke up to find,” I asked myself if awakening and finding the universal truth would not be one’s death. What does it mean to wake up and see something? What does it mean to understand something? Also, what does it mean to answer existential questions? I do not know the answers to these questions and will never learn. How happy I am that I do not have to know the solutions to all existential doubts. Perhaps, when I wake up one day and find many answers to all questions, I will be dead already. I believe silence is the only answer to all our doubts.
Perhaps, when we die, our consciousness disappears and dissolves forever.
Still, I have leftovers of hope that tell me somehow my consciousness on the most outstanding level will unite with everything to become the ones with all the other people who have already died and the whole cosmos. I know I am rocking in the clouds, and all my current writing can tell that I’ve lost my mind. I do not care at all. My conscious mind informs me that when I die, I will be gone forever. Still, my heart and soul, filled with hope, tell me my consciousness will remain somehow in the cosmos.
It will happen not only because I wrote many texts and took thousands of pictures. I believe that my consciousness will live forever on the ephemeral level. Once it unifies with the cosmos, my soul wakes up and finds the universal truth. It will happen after my death. I wrote this text on the 15th of February, 2024, being truly tired after my office work but also filled with hope for a better tomorrow thanks to the Rolling Stones’ song, “Sway.”
