FASCINATION
11
It is a path to experience the majesty, the grandeur, the infinite breadth of our being everyone senses within - if he is only courageous enough to admit this notion.
The knowledge of this path was handed down from times beyond history. It tells us how to disentangle ourselves from undesired events. It describes immense, untapped abilities inborn in all of us, and tell us how to unfold their power far more efficiently than we presently do.
Aim of this path is not the annihilation of our individuality in some faceless enlightenment, nirvana, satori or brahman, or insight into how this world truly works. The main aim of this path is not found on the level of our mind. The main aim is an ever growing comprehensive, loving understanding, - a compassionate expansion of our being that unfolds more with every single step, yet never violates or extinguishes our individuality. With loving understanding our insights leave the cold level of intellect and mind and gain unmatched vivaciousness and depth.
Once we discover that deep within us, beyond all our familiar perceptions, there exists a hidden, fantastic world that - when unlocked - introduces us to ecstatic dimensions of love, happiness, energy and unprecedented clarity of insight, our original vibrant fascination with life resurges again. The state we then enter equals the exciting discovery of our first falling in love, yet its kaleidoscopic vivaciousness far transcends everything experienced previously.
Once we know the entrance to this world, fascination never leaves us again. To experience this we only need to activate abilities dormant within us all. Our consciousness then unfolds with the same easiness with which we grew from a newborn baby into our present form.
