The grain and the chaff

Today we live an age when the seal of secrecy is dissolved.

Every knowledge becomes accessible.

This is the sign of a decisive evolutionary change.

There occurs a sort of bifurcation: all those who are motivated to misuse knowledge do so or will do so, while all those who have matured beyond the limits of the ego must attempt to give themselves to another stage of the manifest consciousness. We are witnessing thus an unprecedented churning: whether the issue be corruption and destruction, or transformation and renewal, individually, collectively and for the harmonious enduring of the species, we cannot as yet know.

As long as we feel the need for the separation – and even if we already weary of the posturing of the ego, but wish to pursue a little longer its experience, as if sheltered still from union and unity -, we cannot cross the threshold of the quest. But, well before we reach this point when we know that union is awaiting, we shall have required a multitude of experiences of human existence to just learn to distinguish between our wants for power and possession and our aspiration to find, or to recover, the true person and the deep home, beyond all external limitation.

In the course of this complex journeying, all sorts of associations and confusions form, each of which leaving its formation.

And our baggage would be unbearably heavy if death did not relieve us of its forms.
