Who is Moon

Moon is someone who has gone through many life experiences in different areas. I was born in a small, religiously strict town, where traditions and religious practices were deeply rooted. Any thought that went against the town’s principles and beliefs was seen as a total threat, and punishment was inevitable for anyone who did not conform. From a very young age, I constantly questioned many things and doubted these beliefs. I never truly believed in them, but I had to follow what I was told out of fear of hell after death, and also out of fear of punishment in this life. I was married at the age of 16 and left school. That was a major turning point in my life, as I was treated like a grown woman overnight. About two months after the marriage, I was shot "gunshot" and hospitalized. I had near death experience, but I was miraculously saved. My journey continued with hospitals, treatments, and surgeries. At 17, I gave birth to a baby girl and became a mother, without knowing anything about motherhood. I decided to continue my education, but my school did not allow me to return. So, I studied on my own from home and only went to take the high school exams. Later, I was accepted into law school. During this time, I suffered from marital, family, social, and academic struggles. I could not attend university regularly because of death threats and other dangers. I endured domestic violence and outside threats to my life. Eventually, I decided to escape and start over in a safe place. That journey brought me to the United States, even though I knew nothing about life here. Throughout these years, I also struggled with health problems caused by the gunshot wounds. I couldn’t find a stable job to pay rent, especially as a divorced woman with two daughters and little knowledge of English. The days and years passed, filled with experiences, discoveries, learning, and research. Then I went through a spiritual awakening. This was the turning point of my life. All the ideas, beliefs, and traditions that I once thought were true started to fall apart in front of me. I realized they were illusions planted in my mind since childhood. When they collapsed, I felt that I collapsed with them. I thought it was the end, but I did not know that I had actually been reborn pure and clear, like a newborn child, free of all the toxic beliefs and ideas that had shaped my behavior for so many years. Those beliefs had fed fear, anxiety, inner anger, frustration, and insecurity, negative emotions etcetera, that fed the ego, not the heart. But now, I live in peace, calm, clarity, and harmony with life. I no longer suffer from the past or worry about the future. I live in the present moment, without resisting whatever happens, whether losses, changes, or blessings. I simply observe, accept, and allow everything to be. In acceptance, true change happened. I realized that all the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual pain I went through was the only path to pure awareness. "I have come to see that everything is consciousness, witnessing and experiencing its own embodied state both within me and all around me." If you face difficulties in your life, know that this is not the end. You decide who you are during that pain. Will you stop at the pain itself, looking over what you lost? Or will you see loss and pain as a turning point, an awakening that shows you the truth as it really is, in all its forms, and accept it, because it is the truth?
