End the myth
Walking grounded on the firmness of life, we might choose to stray outside of the fence and find the precipice of awakening. As you come close, the edge breaks off and you find yourself falling. Life, as we knew it, is lost, nothing is ever the same, even time looses meaning. Without time, falling takes forever. We are in the abyss of not having ground, not knowing where up and down is, nothing is real, everything is intense. If you cling to the cliff, you might survive and be back on firm land, only to find yourself beaten and having to climb back up to where you were. If this is done, hardly will you choose the precipice again. The other option is to continue falling, waiting for the bottom of the valley. But there is none, you just keep falling.
If you spend enough time on the fall, never clinging to the cliff again, you just might make sense of the world. It boils down to everything is a myth. Reality, matter, physics, life, the spirit, what is real, what isn't, that was all part of the corral we were in before, up on the land. Here in the fall, there is just mist, the mist of myth. Why did we fall off in the first place, why isn't there a valley bottom that will end the fall? All questions will remain unanswered, any answer given, is just a tree on the cliff that speeds through our sight as we fly by it.
The only firm thing here is the mist. We may ask questions, and get answers, but they are as firm as the fall and as real as the mist. And still I dare to ask and give myself answers, and here share them with you. All suffering on this world comes from the abuse of this understanding, that nothing is truly real, everything is a myth. And so we are fed the worse myths possible, and those must end. Ending them however, means reaching the bottom of the valley, ending the fall. If enough of us can come together on this, we might just make it happen. It will be painful, ending the fall, but we will be on firm ground again, in a world that again makes sense. Will that new ground by a myth too? probably, but surely a much better one.
