Dear At
I gave you something that you did not receive. I will share this with you
once again for the last time least you "perish on the way seeking to find
what you desire"
The formula for your motives lies is in this simple concept. Do not rush
to defend your point but think and experience what I am going to say and
do not answer me, I have no need to pursue this point.
In your above paragraph lies the answer but not the one you give nor the
advice you give, it is an empty promise. You are using the power or
tension formula that all myths use (and religions), in here lies the Voice
of the OLD MAN who has ventriloquized you. This is not you but some else.
Listen carefully.
This formula has been used down the ages to bind us all, it is myopic and
powerfully controls all those who embrace it.
Do not defend your point.
Here is the secret again.
"It is one of the first lessons which one has to learn while exploring the
desert. Seek something very obvious on the horizon to serve as beacon and
then begin to browse towards it. "
This is the "hope-for advantages, ideals, desires, it is some desire that
lies somewhere out there. The the behaviour is then to move towards that.
The activity them binds you to the purpose which is the beacon or even the
road. We seek and long for what we desire. The ideal the perfect man, the
perfect object "remember the Holy Grail"
Now for the other side of the formula:
"Without this beacon
you will get lost and perish. However, then keep your eyes on the ground
as much as possible and take a glance at the beacon only every ten minutes
or so. If you stare too much at the beacon while browsing, you may break a
leg easily by falling over or into something. It is worse to perish
because of ignorance than because of getting lost."
The fear is the emotional of separation or loss which is coupled with
pain. This is the opposite of the desire, it is close to death and pain.
This then keeps us away from this pain to drive to your beacon.
The writing now has power that which you have given it.
Remember the formula is the tension between: the hoped-for ideals, desires
and our feared disadvantages, losses and dreads.
This is how humans are controlled by the very values and mechanisms you
mention in your paragraph.
It controls you,
it is not liberating, but gives the impression of doing so. This is no
different from the concept of eternal life and heaven (the hope, ideal)
and hell, (the fire and the pain and the dreaded eternal damnation). With
this formula and power over physical life and death power reigns over
millions of people for thousands of years. It is an illusion so don't be
fooled.
Contemplated this and you will have learnt' something.
Kindest
Gavin
