The Innocent Journey

The Journey that a man takes in his profession or his craft is not a journey through his profession or his craft.

It is a Journey through his Mind.

The Journey that a man takes through his mind is not just a journey through his mind.

It is a Journey through the tempest of Desire.

This is the Real journey that one is on.

It is a journey of what he will get.

It is a journey of becoming more.

It is a journey of self-adornment.

It is a journey of acquisition and gain.

This leads him into a deep, dark forest from which almost no man returns.

Where there is desire, there cannot be perfection.

It may be worth your while to read that again.

The desire to become a Master of one’s craft is also a desire indeed.

But it is filled with purity.

It is one’s birthright to Master that which he seeks to master.

In the same it is the woodpecker’s birthright to bore a hole in a tree.

And in the same way it is the eagle’s birthright to leave terrestrial ground and Master flight.

That which is under one’s own auspices . . .

Tends to be innocent.

That which one expects to gain from the world, the craft, the society, the associations, and the masses . . .

Is always impure.

Impurity leads to pain.

Impurity leads to problems.

Impurity leads to frustration.

The only pain-free journey is the Innocent Journey.

The only frustration-free journey is the Innocent Journey.

A journey that is motivated by understanding all that needs to be understood.

A journey that never leaves the bedside of examination, observation, questioning, and insight.

A journey that is devoted to discovering the true source of one’s motivations.

A journey that is devoted to the understanding of the Mind.

For the plain and undeniable Truth is this:

There is nothing other than the Mind.

In understanding IT, one conquers it.

And in Conquering IT, one Arrives

. . . In every way that it is possible for a man To Arrive.

Namaste.
