The Cost of Clarity
At some point, if I want clarity, I have to set aside what I think should be right and wrong and allow the self evident to penetrate my conditioned mind.

I once was a naive hippie who thought the plants and trees were more evolved in their nature because they were peaceful and I enjoyed their company. Once I really got to know them, they showed me they were far more brutal than I and that they were strong enough to face the reality of the situation. We humans have strange needs for irrelevant concepts and ideals that can only exist in our minds. We are so afraid of being unhappy with things that we end up living in a desperate delusion. What fools we are!

The decaying will always be food for the growing.
We will try to morally object that until we become food.

Destruction of energy is not an option. These attempts result in a stagnant state of the energy in focus.
Transmutation is an option. It is true that the only way is through.

It is not possible to see clearly
something that you do not like.

We continue to dig for information and knowledge and answers and other bullshit like that.
We continue to read line by line as if we missed some great message that should be there.
All this effort and the result is a numbing of sensitivity to direct perception.
At any point in life we may lose grip of all the bullshit and realize how strange the present moment is.
It can sneak up and leave reality exposed naked with all of the parts we try not to see.
There is a big process going on and our little stupid words like; morality, love, evil, God, free will, etc. cannot begin to touch it. It does not matter if we like it or think it is right or wrong. We can decorate the process and see what makes us more comfortable, but the process will continue and the show must go on! The persistent result is creative expression, which requires destruction, and contains more than a clever message to put into words. If you can feel life at its greatest magnitude with unwavering fearless strength, then you have conquered all you have to conquer.
