The Path

I busied myself to think of a story, a story to rival those which had excited me to this task; One which would speak to the mysterious spark at the core of our creation and awaken the slumbering light within; One to make the reader disappear in deep deliberation, nourishing the soul on the subtle spark of inspiration, and fanning the flames of a moment’s insight into an inferno of enlightenment. While laying in the solitude of a sleepless night meditating on these ambitious murmurings the moon's silvery light; its instrument of illumination; like the feverish kiss of flint and steel, ignites a spark of divine inspiration in the dark recesses of my wavering duplicitous mind. Rising to spend the night soaking the inspiration on my paintbrush of creativity I artistically stroke it to my tapestries until the mornings light blots out the supernatural rays of Luna's radiance dissolving my pathway of illumination and retransforming The Path of Enlightenment back into the blinding fog of sanity that veils my visions once again. Make no mistake about it; it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Neither is it a measure of success to be at the summit of such a society. When you're not in an inspired state of being the veil of the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth clouds your thoughts, skews your judgments, and makes you believe in that which is profane to the enlightened soul. Thus, this illuminated psychosis of a moment’s inspiration is the preferred passion I profess and my computer is the canvas upon which I’ve painted this work of The Source and our enlightening relationship with it; "The Path". Introduction The devotee knelt to be initiated into discipleship, the Guru whispered the sacred Mantra into his ear warning him not to reveal it to anyone. “What will happen if I do?” Asked the devotee’ The Guru responded “Anyone you reveal the mantra to will be liberated from the bondage of ignorance and suffering but you, you yourself will be excluded from discipleship and suffer damnation.” No sooner had he heard those words than the devotee rushed to the marketplace, collected a large crowd around him and repeated the sacred mantra for all to hear. The disciples later reported this to the Guru and demanded that the man be expelled from the monastery for his disobedience. But the Guru smiled and said. “He has no need of anything I can teach. His action has shown him to be a Guru in his own right.”
