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.
