“I’m asking you to imagine a more complicated and stronger reality that you or I could possibly know,” says OA to Karim, but her words come as if she was talking directly to me.

We have built a concept of reality, time, and space that is oversimplified. We create these ideas as a way of reassurance so that we feel like we’re in control, but we are not. To me reality was simply what was going on in the world, just that. After the OA I have started a journey of self realization, a journey in which I hope to find that little seed inside my brain and grow a whole multiverse of dimensions to explore within myself, to find my reality. I am a house, everyone is. Ones life purpose is hidden behind the rose stained glass. Many don’t find it and die trying, or some may just give up, others get to see behind the glass but get lost in the confusion of it all, and finally, very few get to see and live with what they are meant to be doing in this doomed world. I’ve been trying to find the rose stained glass my whole life. I’ve almost given up, but now I realize as time passes, a new room opens in this house, getting me closer and closer to the glass. Each room gives me a small glimpse of that purpose that I want to find so much. I don’t understand that glimpse enough. I just get a feeling in my gut telling me to keep going because I’m here for a reason. The doors of the rooms are not always open, they close as I age, some open and some I forget. This house is constantly changing, but that lets me know that the only thing that we can be sure of is that change is constant and it’s necessary to keep the house up.

THE STAIRS INSIDE US ARE THE CHOICES WHICH COMPLETELY CHANGE OUR PATHS TOWARDS FINDING OUR ROSE STAINED GLASS.
