“She has the beauty of a spring sunrise and the mystique of a tiger peeking through tall blades of grass looking in on its prey.”
-NEIM
There are those moments… the moments where it seems as though time and space has ceased to exist. Those that claim to be able to foresee the future have described it as though they were looking in on a dream. Time and space stands still while everything happens all at once. These visions are usually seen through dreams and/or meditation. Enlightenment is what the Buddhist’s call it: to unite the conscience mind with the soul.
What if our soul is like a timeline; and through meditation or dreams we can see the events that have already come to be and moments that have not yet come to past. I wonder is that when Déjà vu comes into play? When we think that we have already experienced something when we haven’t.
I have heard that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Can you look in on someone else’s timeline? What if you see the reflection of times that she has felt sorrow or joy… triumph and defeat? What if you stare right into her essence… and as you enter the abyss of her soul you see yours staring right back at you?
Have you ever experienced a moment when you looked into someone’s eyes, which you just met, and there was something that seemed familiar? You look even deeper and then a sudden rush of tranquility hits. You find yourself in a state of soliloquy as you try and figure out the connection. All of a sudden time passes without your knowledge as you engage with this person next to you, oblivious to anything happening around you. You are lost in the moment.
I believe our souls, time and space are all connected somehow. Through our dreams we have visions of our experiences and our future. Our conscience minds are sometimes limited to the realm of the world in which we live and cannot fully comprehend what it all means. Can you imagine or have you experienced what its like to meet the actual entity of your dreams? Would you know? Most people forget there dreams soon after they wake. Sometimes we have those moments though where everything has a familiarity to it.
Love at first sight. Is it a myth? Is it possible? How can you truly love someone that you have never met? Maybe you are drawing feelings from experiences that have not yet happened… through a dream perhaps. Love is an emotion right? It is a feeling. I’m sure you have had dreams where you have experienced intense emotions. Is it fair to say that these emotions that you were having in those dreams were not real because they were dreamt? Have you ever woken up scared, laughing, or crying? I have. Those are real emotions.
So, according to the aforementioned theories love at first sight is possible. It is possible to recognize one’s self in another by looking into the eyes of another discovering that this person’s soul has a path that inexorably leads to yours that makes it seem as though time and space has stood still parallel to your dream or unconscious state of mind. You see a path to unite your conscience mind with her soul. The feeling now that you get from looking into her eyes is euphoric because this woman has become the very definition of enlightenment.
The energy of life goes in a circle in a perfect flow, balanced. Until you find your center, you will never be whole. Your soul’s recognition of its counterpart brings you happiness because that is your center. It is what makes us whole. I’m just saying there are those moments.

Dude, beautifully written and I totally agree, there are those moments. Too bad they are not a constant in our lives.
Please write more, it inspires me to keep on looking at these moments with gratitude, instead of taking them for granted.

That was a great article Neim, I was immersed in the pages while reading. Everyone can relate to everything you said, and their lying if they haven’t experienced some of the moments you touched upon. GREAT ARTICLE! I want a copy.
