Unscheduled Illuminations - Rant 2

[Zurtok Khan]

The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment. And if this is a correct view of freedom, our chief energy must be concentrated on achieving reform from within.
-Mahatma Gandhi

You know, Eris really ought to time her visits to better fit my schedule.  All of these unscheduled enlightenments are really rather disturbing.  Of course, it is possible that my Pineal gland forgets to give me the messages, but that's another story.

Chaos will not be restrained, I am sorry to say.  It will do what it wants to do.  There is no help for it, that is the state of things.  So, stop wishing you can change it all and bend it to your will.  He who wishes to change will change, he who secretly wishes to say the same while paying lip service to change will be laughed at.

You cannot schedule Illumination, it will come as it comes.  There is no map to show you the way.  And, no one else to show you the way (including me).  The Buddha attempted to show his students the path.  Too bad for him.  He said a few nice things, and people got on with life.  Some people wanted to be him.  Hell, I even have a carving of his face hung around my neck right now (he's laughing very, very hard).  But, no one can walk anywhere for you.

It is nice to have something to aspire to.  But, do not aspire to be anyone but yourself.  You will fail.  Sorry.

I recently had a visitation from Eris, she told me that there are 4 kinds of people:  People who do not dream because they cannot stand it when their dreams do not come true;  People who only dream because they haven't learned to live their lives; People who dream only by convention because they are so integrated into the herd; and, People who do not need to dream because they have everything they want.  They are the Sensitives, the Addicts, the Herd, and the Content.

The Sensitives get mad when things happen out of their control, Illumination is for other times.  The Addicts don't notice.  The Herd only gets mad when they get told it's time to be mad.  And, the Content just sit there and smile.

The Illumination will not be Scheduled.

You better fix that.

You better fix that.

Can't fix what ain't broken.
