Rout or passage

As soon as one is freed from the habitual jungly brush and somewhat rid of encumbrances, one becomes capable of recognizing the other. Without projection, or expectation, or fear, one recognizes the person who is there. It is like a small porthole suddenly opening away from space- time, into this dimension of eternity which is not what one thinks with our intelligence, but far simpler and wholly self-evident. So, let each one hurry up and offer all of our junk and muddle into this joyful flame, so as to find all of the others within oneself, so that the urge may spread, so that clarity may expand, so that awakening may catch… Let each and everyone be harnessed to this necessary task, this necessary act of service: the true communication, direct and whole, of That which alone can heal this world and guide it towards plenitude.

Gagged humanity?

What is this servility within us that induced this fearful inert acceptance?

It is there too that we do part: those whose nature aspires – to progress, to true existence -, and those whose nature dreads death and clings to whatever is granted or apportioned to it.
