A Dangerous Path

Think of a narrow path or a sidewalk if you will... On both sides of this sidewalk there is a bottomless pit. There are rocks and stones on the path and if you're not very careful you can easily fall off of this path... Now also on the sides of this path are vines that stretch deep into the bottomless pit... If you happen to fall off of that path, and you are strong enough... you could grab a hold of one of these vines, and climb back on to the path. The stones on the path are judgement, and the vines are the truth of love... If you are strong in love, when you stumble you can easily grab hold of the vines and pull yourself back onto the path... If you do not have love you are weak and you will fall deeper and deeper into the pit once you stumble.

Love is your strength, and judgement only weakens you. Each time you stumble on the rocks of judgement, you create a belief in your mind, or even an opinion of something or someone. The rocks weaken your arms each time you fall, so it only gets harder each time you stumble...

The key to strenghening your arms is forgiveness... which takes love

He who has ears, let him hear

Corruption and delusion of reality exists in the mind as a result of judgement. Preconceptions, misconceptions, expectations, and prejudices are created as a result of judgement.

Love, Forgiveness, Acceptance.
Peace.

You can learn to fly and leave the path beneath you.

This is the best suggestion I have read all day.

When you can fly, nothing is out of reach.

Maybe you could walk very slowly, carefully and even go crawling if you're going through a very dangerous section of this path...as Confucius said, "It does not matter how slowly you go - as long as you do not stop."

Oh good lord!~ I'm just taking the bus instead.

For he with a heart, let it beat within, kNot without.

For he with a mind, let it think without, kNot within.

For he with love in their heart and mind, let it exist everywhere.

And forgiveness is fueled by judgement!

Sew you are corrupted by the delusion of Duality!

"And forgiveness is fueled by judgement!"

I understand forgiveness to be the liberation from the attachment of judgement of unpleasant events.

"Sew you are corrupted by the delusion of Duality!

As existence is composed of interconnected levels and layers, I was speaking of forgiveness within the constructs of dualistic reality. My neglect of the dualistic paradoxes was to reply in context, not for delusion or corruption.

Peace.

Will you let your fear control you or simply walk the path and get over it?
