The Beginning

In the beginning it is always the same. We emerge from a fog wherein blissfully we create no memories. Our time is spent in the wondrous notion that we are the center. Then, whether through painful awakening or happy realization this solipsistic feeling ebbs. We are confronted by a resource which will have formative impact on the rest of our lives: knowledge. Knowing that we are without question not the center we imagined. Our minds scramble to make sense of such a revelation and the necessary process which follows will introduce us to a universal question which will haunt, guide, confuse, ignoble, and frighten us for the rest of our conscious lives. Who am I?

The Climb

Given time and set out amongst the rest who are faced with the identical circumstances that the word I entails, we begin our climb. I cannot help but create you and thus we erect our first wall. An artifice which we imagine grants privacy and autonomy when mostly it is our first act of self-deception. We imagine a competition, stakes, successes, failures, all of which either diminish or strengthen our interior selves when held up for comparison with the rest of our perceived world. This is when we are most ignorant and tragically when me make the most claims to the opposite. All our potential all our energy given over in prideful futility to the act of preserving our fledgling Ego. We set up a dictatorship over fear in our hearts happily giving over power to it in the hopes that we could stamp out uncertainly, as though uncertainty were not what made life living. This however need not be the end of the story. We can ascend to a higher place a place not reserved for any one type of people. It is difficult to reach as all things worth while are, but nevertheless never insurmountable. We need only make use of what are shared humanity affords from birth: will.

The Summit

If in our time subjugated to pain we do not give in to the monster which pain gives us permission to be. If in our trials when it seems most warranted to turn our backs from others we do not drown in the intoxication of isolating ourselves, we will catch a glimpse of something great and liberating. At first only a small part of the whole will be revealed, it is its nature to do so slowly. Truth is bound up in experience and experience must be given its due, its time to unfold. But if we can be patient and see this truth through to its conclusion, something magnificent will happen. The shadows of our worst fears that always seemed to stalk behind us, will cease to do so. We will finally comprehend that it was us who cast them all along. And that the faster we ran the more quickly they made chase. That when we held up our actions to the world we erred in doing so as a comparison. We will see in instead that all the while they are held in front of us as a mirror. And that wall which we thought necessary because I cannot help make you, we'll have no need of evermore.
