WHAT IS THE REAL GOAL?
Those who seek enlightenment;
those who crave awakening;
those who long for liberation,
all want the same thing – peace;
that is all it is – peace.
And what is the great-disrupter-of-peace:
The desire for fame; for wealth; for power?
No…the desire in your mind to be right,
even in disputes with your own thoughts.
Peace comes from being in step with a certain rhythm. In the old infra-cortical homeland there was graceful, peaceful rhythm in life which everyone felt. But the tempo of life in the new city of consciousness is different. Thinking caused man to become jerky and agitated. He lived longer and in greater comfort, but at the cost of his sense of original rhythm – which resulted in the loss of peace.
While thought is responsible for the changes in man’s physical life, that allow him to live in greater peace with his external environment, it is also the cause of his lack of internal peace. Tit for tat and also tit for some men’s anti-tit-attitude; fair’s fair and fairs are fair, and top prizes always go to the most docile cows.
On a mountain top above the city, and in a valley below, are two armies who fight incessantly over possession of that singular territory which lies between them. There are no casualties in this conflict, save those who report on it.
