The path leads to the land of conclusion and completion; a place where all that is desired from life is realized and experienced. A place where loneliness is never encountered, where separateness does not exist. A wonderful space of unity, unconditional and unquenchable love. The air is filled with truth and it is absorbed into the cells of every inhabitant.
Nourishment is realized in the communion of souls when the essence of one individual is expressed and shared with another. In this wonderful land every need has been satisfied, every want has been fulfilled to the greatest degree possible. No living being is ever in desperation, fear or lack. Trust is the vehicle of transportation that propels the citizens from home to home and from heart to heart.
Some who take this path would look at it and say it is strewn with struggle and strife. That it's highways are full of ruts and unsure turns. They would expend all of their energy attempting to escape the reality of the experience and it's potential. Fear and anger are the tools of emotional manipulation which are used to avoid the struggles.In the midst of their own strife denial is their greatest resource. Their core belief states that they must travel this path, but that the land of conclusion and completion can not be found. The focus of completion is lost and they're caught up only in the elements that create the weather of the moment. They begin to feel that the only possible conclusion to this path is a dead end, and that nothing else exist.
Their fellow travelers know sadness for them and often attempt to facilitate an exchange of lesser truth for greater understanding and insight. Some receive and keep moving in their self discovery, some choose not to and are stuck in their own adversity. Others would gaze at the path and proclaim that it is full of a pain and struggle and should be avoided at all costs. For them the journey never begins. They never allow themselves the opportunity to discover and grasp that the land of conclusion and completion is alive and has a healing breath of its own. They are never saluted as risk takers, and only live out of their dead past inwardness. Since these individuals are not on the path of life they often lose sight of their purpose and feel confused when presented with opportunity. Aloneness and separateness is how they attempt to survive in their bleakness. They think that they survive but the truth is they haven't even begun to exist. They flounder and are often bankrupt of trust and truth.When confronted with these choices of who I am and what I want, I must ascertain which traveler I am to be. I can not escape, I can not evade, I can not even divorce from the challenge. If I do I assassinate and entomb myself. I must embrace the state of being which will mark my best path to the land of conclusion and completion. With this in mind I now know that the path has only presented challenges to cause personal growth.
The strewn highway, and sometimes the intersecting ravines are only moments of awakening, a time when I must be conscious. These moments provide a gage for me that I might realize the deeper truth about myself and others. The challenges are my friends. They speak to me and encourage me to be clear and keep feeling and discovering truth. Truth causes inspiration and as I breath it in, it brings life abundant.In the truth I instantly know and experience the land of conclusion and completion. The challenge calls me to a revelation of the unique oneness that I have with all of creation, including my fellow travelers. No matter where they be in their travel I am one with them. I begin to realize that in the matters of the heart, there's no right or wrong, only choices and individual responsibilities!
We all have our path that we feel we must take. However, Sometimes out of my love for my fellow travelers I often wonder why they choose the path that they do. Then the answer comes softly, sweetly, without demand or intrusion. It whispers the divinity and uniqueness of every element of creation. It proclaims tenderly, with sober trust, the sovereignty of ever heart and soul and declares the truth of every member of the human race and their individual freedom. The answer extends a deeply expressed love, a compassionate affectionate interest in every human experience. As the answer begins to fade, in it's farewell expression it imparts a combination of sounds that expresses and symbolizes an idea. The idea lingers in my mind and becomes an intimate part of who I am. It helps me to choose the best path for me. It simply whispers within me that I am an individual segment of all that is and yet my individual portion is also part of the whole and cannot be separated or severed from my fellow travelers. It records within me that, "I am love and love is all that there is."
Therefore, let it be Known that I love you and all that you are. You, my fellow traveler, are the reflection and expression of who I am as I travel this path with you and so I bequeath my peace and my love to you. May you always live and be as your true inner self directs.
Signed, a traveler.
