unbecoming

unbecoming is a story about healing. Forgiveness. And ultimately, salvation.

Salvation from oneself and all the self-limiting beliefs.

Detachment from societal expectations and creating new standards to live by.

In time, the mask falls off and you see who you are for the first time.

You become the highest version of yourself and finally reconnect with the divine.

With these lessons, you realize that you have always been free.

There is no greater journey than unbecoming everything you have been taught to be.

In her third installment, unbecoming continues Laura Muensterer's vulnerable inward exploration and journey of introspection, discovery, and healing. In Buddhism, there are four stages of enlightenment - Sotpanna, Sakadgm, Angm, and Arahant. During each stage, universal themes of selflessness, impermanence, and dissatisfaction underline changes in one's behavior and overall outlook on life. Organizing her work into four themes drawn from this classic path to enlightenment, Muensterer shares her own "story of enlightenment" through modern poetry in her raw and direct style.
