Cemetery Pure

You look into his face and your third eye opens up as if from some latent slumber and a pressure builds as clarity ensues like the moments of an untimely wake up while deep in a dream state. This is a man entrenched, consumed and ensconced in a level of spiritual purity that requires ceremony and offering for every task of the day, washing, eating changing clothes, all is a careful meditation. The imposition of this energy is literally palpable.
On this day the task was something of a finality to the burial process, brought on by a promise made by a relative of the deceased. The promise was fulfilled as the conditions of that contract were upheld and this elaborate ceremony ensued.


The aura of these events has the intensity, festivity and intense reverence of A wedding a Birthday party and a vipissana retreat intertwined in an exceptionally obscure way. Everything runs in  perfect synchronicity, including the mood. A very curious experience indeed.
