No Return

Call it enlightenment, spirituality, higher states of consciousness, what we seek is that state of Being in which we can only be silent.

So why are there all these books,practices, "masters" who claim to know "the way" regurgitating someone else's words and actions ad nauseam and we in turn do the same. Above all why do we think "the way" is like a romp through some flowery field on a warm sunny day all light and joy. Have we really thought about what we ask for when we seek enlightment, spirituality, higher states of consciousness, that state of Being....?

We are so desperate to be saved from the meaningless life we percieve ourselves to be living; we take our first oblivious step on the "path."

We have entered the Tiger's territory. The Tiger senses our movement and we sense the presence of the Tiger. This is not what we expected when we first started on the "path." Remember, flowery field on a warm sunny day all light and joy?

We know we are being stalked,there's no turning back! The only question left is when will the Tiger strike? And the Tiger will, devouring us into "nothingness."

This is the "path" of no return, called enlightenment, spirituality, higher states of consciousness, that state of Being in which we can only be silent, literally.
