#a star

When I was about 6 or 7 I was standing and looking outside my window at night, it was about 11 or 12 am.

That night, I saw something special—or so I thought. A star split into two. As a child, I believed it was something rare and magical, something only I had witnessed. But I couldn’t tell my parents; they’d know I hadn’t been asleep.

Instead, I asked my kindergarten teacher. She was kind and gentle, and she told me a story that kept my innocence intact.

Those who see a splitting star are special, it a opportunity for a good luck, when you see a splitting star that divines into two it because one side is meant for you. As a gift. What you must do is go sleep and chase it. When you catch it hold it tight so it doesn't escape and when you wake up you'll have it in your hands.

That your good luck.

And as I child I believe this, and I did chase the star through my dreams. But from excitement I couldn't always sleep so I would pretend because I wanted to trick the star, I would close my eyes and stare into the dark and imagine chasing this star. I imagine myself flying and catching and it would feel peaceful.

As I child I didn't realise I was in a void state, a state of pure consciousness. And I would come back when I was sure I had my luck and I would fall asleep.

I was disappointed when I would wake up and not see the star in my hands but I still had so much luck so as I child I was sure I did caught it and got my luck but the star escaped back to it other half. I kept seeing stars split, so I believed my luck was always nearby.

Years later when I was about 13 or 14 I was in my literature class and we were reading a old story of a boy chasing a star after seeing it split. His grandfather had told him it was a sign of good fortune. That’s when I realized my teacher hadn’t made up the story—it was a tale passed down, reimagined for me.

However the act of chasing the star is what has put me into void state as I child because I believed I could leave my body through my dreams or before bed and go into the sky and catch a star.

So this is a confirmation that it not important what you do or what your intention is even, you can always enter the void in any way you can think of.

Don't limit yourself
