Wisdom.

A Twist On An Old Cliche:
Self-Discovery in some respects can be akin to not being able to see the forest for the trees.
Many journey their Spiritual path searching for a great forest, (enlightenment), where all knowledge of creation is known, suffering ceases and where death is entertained no more.
Yet travel as much and far as they may their panoramic vision of the landscape is forever obscured by one tree after another.
Only to come to resent the very things that they believe have obscured them from being able to see the right path to where this great Eden that awaits them at the end of the path.
They may even resent these great oaks in such a way that they may come to believe those trees are evil for blocking their ability to see there way.
Some may believe that those great oaks owe them their dreams of discovery for if it were not for the trees they would of been there already.
Yet fumble around as they may navigating around one tree after another searching aimlessly for an elusive clearing that will allow them to see that distant forest.
Ironically from time to time someone will pass by them and wish them a good day and say, “is not this forest truly wondrous, welcome home”, and they will look at that person wondering what is wrong with them.
So onward they continue their search, trying this way and that way, forever struggling with their perceived perpetual worthiness that is lost in a landscape of trees.
This Great Forest, (The Beloved), I think sometimes looks within its vast array of trees and sees his many Loves trying to find their way to the forest all around them and wonders what is all the silly fuss about.
“I adorned their life with a great forest because they wanted it and they say they cannot find what is all around them, I gave them all of my Self and they say they cannot find me”
So obviously simple are the realizations of of our True Nature and yet in a mindset of unworthiness they will refuse to even consider it and bombard the seeming forest with many justifications of how hard and complicated it is.
Such is the challenge of having to break the mindset of your own unworthiness that has found pride by propping up its wishful value and being resigned to Truth by navigating complicated untruths.
Realize the forest is all around you and be a peace in your worthiness that no longer needs pride to condone such aimless and challenging creative mindsets.
Talk and heed those that wish you a good day and says things like, “Welcome Home”.
All My Love
