A fairy tale

This is only a story.If you find some understanding in it, that's your business.There are no guarantees and no claims to rightness.You’ve probably given very little thought to life, so let’s play with some basic ideas.

You forgot something

You are an awareness, some sort of consciousness.You are much more than you remember.You are an eternal something but you forgot.You are mentally imprisoned in a body that you can't control.Your mind has been conditioned to reject any idea that is not conventional.Your emotions have been trained to override all of your thinking.

Go home

You are a willing slave under a cold, hidden hand.This cold hand has meddled in every part of your life.Almost everything you see and know is a lie.If you are happy with this situation, please go home now.If you have always had a feeling that there must be more to life, then perhaps you should stay longer.

Humanity has gone bad

Humanity has been cutoff from it's vital essence, it's own heart.Humanity has lost it’s sense of responsibility, morality and integrity.They are now a greedy, ego-centric species.Humanity is short-sighted and sold out.For mere money and power most people will do anything.

Your heart is a door

Your heart is a portal to the more of you that you have forgotten.It should be easy to access but your own ego makes it difficult, almost impossible a times.Your ego is self-centred, narrow-minded and jealous.If it feels threatened by an idea, it will immediately give you a thousand reasons why it should be rejected.Over your lifetime, your ego has built mountains between your consciousness and your heart.Your heart, your infinite heart is the link to the more of you, that immortal something that you forgot.

Religions enslave

Many, many religious institutions have been built up over eons, supposedly with the purpose of showing you the truth.They each have their own personal version of the truth and none of them are nice and all of them are demanding and enslaving.They each are exclusive and reject one another, all claiming some sort of divine and personal right that is theirs alone.All of them rely heavily on guilt.Guilt is used in place of open discussion and honest understanding.Guilt keeps you enslaved for lifetimes.

Truth is yours

So what is the truth?I’ve no idea, that’s your business and yours alone.I can perhaps point and whistle and say: “Why don’t you try this way?”But the understanding you may gain is very personal and not universal.The truth cannot be owned, bargained or traded, it belongs to each person individually alone.

Where is it?

So where is your truth?In your heart.That’s it, no big deal, no unfolding cosmic secrets, no sacred texts and no pompously dressed leaders needed.Your own heart holds all of the answers and insights that you could possibly want.Try it now, ask your heart is this true?

What next?

What do you do about it?You can access it easily if you are silent, peaceful and accept the whole world just as it is, right now.Your problem has been your busyness and your closed mindedness.Make a lot more time for silence in your day.Ask you heart what you will.But don’t forget, you don’t have to be holy or special or put on any other pretentious face, just be yourself, that’s perfect.

Be bad mannered

Don’t be shy, respectful or holy about it.It’s you!More of you!Be natural and be honest.Then more of you will gradually fill your life and you will know exactly what to do all of the way to wherever you happen to be going.But that’s your business and only you will understand what that means.
