Once born, what questions propel us towards the end? What motivation do we have at the birth of each new moment to search after that which makes us happy? Even if we seek after that which makes us sad, it is because that the state of being sad is something that satisfies us. That is what we all seem to seek upon entering this world; satisfaction. However, how can you describe such a state? In a world of temporal existence, relying on the passing of time to take us where we wish to go, what sort of satisfaction is worth pursuing, if not that of eternal contentment? Why look for happiness in anything other than the state of being at peace with the world? If we grow attached to moments of greater happiness, the moments of lesser happiness will make us ill at ease. If we grow attached to moments of lesser happiness, the moments of greater happiness leave us ill at ease. Therefore, we must construct our ship wisely, and flow eternally in the direction which compassion provides. Each of us exist in a reality of our own; to seek anything within this reality is like a king searching for a servant far away; While he is traveling, he abandons his kingdom, and leaves them in darkness. We then should call our servants towards us, through our own reality. We must also see the realities of others, and understand that they are the rulers of theirs, and that they are no less off than us. We must be equal. We must become aware of the greater reality that does not exist in the reality of anyone else, for this is the reality of God. One man sees a tree, another man sees the same tree. Just because both men see the same tree does not mean that the tree exists; it is the existence of the tree itself that permits its existence, but it does not exist individually. From this perspective, existence permeates all things, moment to moment, ever-changing. Take this example: (God's Reality) Every letter within the previous parentheses represent an individuals world. The parentheses represent God's world, which encompasses everything. The very existence of everything proves his existence, as his perception is our perception; yet, how exactly would we act if we had eyes as numerous as the particles in the universe? How would we act as a whole? as an individual? In this life, are we not both the individual and the whole, condensed and placed in the company of others like us to give us an appreciation of ourself, and the only self transcending Identity? The true name of God lies in his purpose; everything. Once we became afflicted by karma (the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil) we became placed in the midst of what could only be described as a chaotic war for power between what was once, but what could now be anything. We became afflicted by our fears, and our desires, and the chaos resulting from the infinite number of processes going on that we took no notice of before. We became afflicted by the knowledge that wisdom was evil, and compassion was good, but we also became afflicted with the knowledge that God is everything. Knowing this, what could we be except parts of God? What could we be but pieces of him, trying to see who he is? Too much wisdom and we go astray by distorting the truth inherent in everything to fit our perspective; too much compassion and we go astray by serving the wise. We must find a balance between the two, where karma does not exist, allowing us to float on the currents of the universe, and take advantage of things we can only hope to comprehend, but doing it so quickly that from the outsiders perspective, we seem omniscient. Not through hatred, not through love, not through wisdom, nor through compassion does this balanced state exist. Where else may it lie but outside of our own reality, both penetrating and recieving us?
