A Quick And Direct Route To Truth
If there were an individual before me
Could I take him to Truth
In a very short time?
Yes.
And this would be perhaps the most direct way.
But this is unlikely to happen.
The reason that it is unlikely to happen
Is because the sort of individual that this direct route requires
Is extraordinarily rare.
Firstly,
He would have to demonstrate a willingness
To give everything.
Secondly,
He would have to be Ready.
The first
Is not quite as difficult to find.
The second
Is almost impossible.
It is by no means impossible
To find one who is Ready.
But very close to impossible.
If an individual was willing
To give everything . . .
If he was indeed able
To demonstrate his Readiness . . .
There is a significant possibility
That he could be taken directly to Truth
In a relatively short period of time.
The reason that humans
Never find Truth
Or Wisdom
Or Realization
Or Freedom
In this lifetime . . .
Is because:
1) They are not Ready
And
2) They have not found one who is able to give it to them.
And while it is on the verge of impossibility
To find a human that is Ready,
It is even more impossible
To find one who is able to give it to him.
If an individual had demonstrated
These two traits,
He would simply be given The Truth
And he would imbibe it.
In imbibing it
He would become it.
It is not difficult.
What is not only difficult,
But also impossible,
Is to chase prescriptions.
It is (1) very hard upon the psyche
To chase and chase and chase for a lifetime.
And it is (2) impossible to find Truth/Freedom/Wisdom/Realization
By way of prescriptions.
It is impossible,
Because that is not how it was made.
If each of the Truths
That I gave to the human
Was seen as coming straight from the mouth of God,
There would be little to no blockages or interferences
Between the words that left my mouth
And those that entered his ears.
They would not be soiled
And poisoned
And altered
By his mental conditionings.
It would be a Direct Connection.
No if’s and’s or butt’s.
No maybe’s and could be’s.
No “I will have to think on that.”
No “Let me get back to you.”
No “Yes, but”
No “No, but.”
The individual who was Ready
Would have already come to the realization
That if his so-called “knowledge” were True,
Then he would already have what he was looking for.
Or at the very least,
He would be quite close.
And if he did not have it,
And if he was not close,
Despite all of these years of searching
And doing
And practicing
And hoping
And reading
And intellectualizing
And debating
And hacking
And technique-ing
And method-ing
And meditating
And mindful-ing
And thought-watching
And loving-kindness-ing
And chanting
And stoic-ing
And mental model-ing
And salt-gurgling
And breath-couting
And pony tail-ing
And jumping jacks, summersaults, back flips, and stomach churns
And whatever clever nonsense he had been doing . . .
Then doing more of the same
Would only give him
More of the same.
The Truth is,
There is virtually no human
That is Ready.
The Irony is,
That being Ready
Has the greatest possibility
Of getting him all that he wanted
In relatively short order.
Namaste.
