Humans dream. Humans have ideas about the world. Humans pass through ignorance. It is so. It is our nature to be confused. It is not our place to do anything else. It is not our place to avoid this. Not our place and not possible. We pass through ignorance, we pass through darkness into light. It is the way. It is an effortless development. It is a will beyond anyone's. A will that cannot be circumvented. You must pass through shadow. You must pass through darkness. You must pass through suffering. You must suffer this. You cannot avoid it. It is the human script. The lines and acts irremovable from human consciousness. Life is pain and suffering. Life is full of folly, injustice, inconsiderableness. It is not to be avoided. It is to be lived. It cannot be avoided. It can only be embraced. We will sin, we are sinning. We are guilty. We are selfish. We are weak. We are mad. We can not help it. And in this sinning we are free from guilt. Free from blame. We do not have control over this. We are born to suffer. To pass through suffering. It is the way of the world. We do not have control. We are programs in the system. We are pawns on the chessboard. Yet our humanness is limited. It is not all that is, it is not the extent of who we are. Unless we broaden what is considered to be human. We pass through these personal lives like water bending down a river. What happens to us is unavoidable. It is apart of the path of the river. Trouble is apart of the path of the river. Our humanity is the path of the river. We cannot escape it. We are human. We are troubled. It is so. The degree may vary, yet it is so. Trouble is the nature of life. Violence and destruction are the nature of life. We cannot escape them. We can embrace them and see them as apart of the whole. One with all that is. For we are human, yet we are also the Sea. The sea that is all life, and all form. We are the One. We do not need to be perfected as human beings, to remove all sin from our body. We need not do this. We are complete in our identity as the One that is All. We are freed by recognizing this. We are One. One is many. We are the way. The way is trouble. Trouble is the way forward. Trouble is the way to the Sea. You need not seek trouble foolishly. It will find you nonetheless. When it comes you need not turn from it in fear. You can face it, accept it, and embrace it as your own. As the blood of your beating heart. Know it as yourself. Know it as the vigor of life. You need not enhance it, you need not turn from it. Take it as it is and let it pass into your life and through you. For it will pass and come again like the waxing and waning of the moon. Like all that is and all that comes into our lives. This path is the wisening of the self. The maturing of the heart. The settling of the soul on Earth. The embracing of the soil and the toiling of the soil that is life on Earth. The undoing of resistance to the nature of life and death. Here golden light spills forth in abundance. To heal wounds and raise the sick from their beds. Here lies the heart.
