The Spiritual Guide to Self-Medication

Raunn Emjon

Description

When the world shut down in March of 2020 I was driving back from Bangalore in the south, to my home in Mumbai. I had heard about the virus on the news and from what I heard I had always believed that this was going to last a while, I knew somewhere in my mind that this was going to be our generation’s World-War. And the best part of it all was that none of that scared me in no way whatsoever. What really scared the living daylights out of me, what got me shuddering with fear every time I thought of it, was that I was going to finally come face-to-face with my biggest enemy.
Me.
And with nowhere to run or hide, I knew I would have to come up with a survival plan. Something to get me through the madness without ending it all, in one clean swoop of a tired mind.
So I braced myself for a storm and what a storm it was. It ripped me to shreds and brought me down to my knees. It got me to look deep-deep inside the deepest deep within, and find the answer to the question that is my existence. It gave me the sense to put down in words the words that helped me through some of the darkest days of my life. And when the storm subsided, I unwrapped the thoughts that make up this book.

For Aana
And somewhere in a me mory…
In the future somew here,
Maybe in a past-forgotten somew here,
But somewhere I know,
I know somew here,
I’ll see you again my fr iend.
This is not a self-help book, it is a help-self book.
If you’re looking for solutions to life in general, then this could be, I’m not saying it is , I’m saying it could just be the exact book you need right now.
 
I know!
 
Because it’s the help I put together to gather the “me” when I fall.
It’s the solution I wrote down when self-help didn’t help the self at all.
It’s my book of mantras and each and every one comes with a prescription attached, a prescription I wrote based on my n eeds.
 
Whatever I have written here is based on the lessons I learnt in the life I have been lucky enough to have lived. Lessons prescribed to me by the enigma of the living that I have lived in this lifetime so far, and to even say that I will live beyond this here and now is audacity in the face of this unpredictability we call life .
 
And for as long as the clock ticks, be alive. Be alive fully, till the clock t icks.
What I wrote I wrote to help when help is needed and help is always needed, that’s why it’s called life because life is not life without the constant threat of d eath.
Life is not life without the danger of slipping into the abyss of black forever. Life is not life without not knowing how long this life is ours to keep, to hold, to know.
 
And because I consider myself lucky enough, to have lived a life whose teachings so far, I can share for others to see, for others to share, I thank this universe I thank, the cosmos I thank, this life I thank, chance I thank for taking this one chance in the me I have grown up t o be.
 
“To Hope I pray, I hope that these lines I wrote to keep me calm and sane and brave, may do the very same for you, to Hope I pray, I hope.”

There is no God beyond the God I am.
There is no Light beyond the Light I am.
There is no Bad beyond the Bad I am.
There is no Good beyond the Good I am.
There is no Fear beyond the Fear I am.
There is no Courage beyond the Courage I am.
There is no Happy beyond the Happy I am.
There is no Sad beyond the Sad I am.
 
I am the definition of everything I am.
I am the solution to everything I am.
 
I can be the speck of doubt in my quivering soul.
I can be the univ erse,
I can be the W hole.
