On the Edge of Uncertainty, Hope Grows

We are moving toward a new way of expressing ourselves and hopefully this will outlive the old law that says we must die along with our lives, once they are spent. What will perhaps happen is a fundamental renewal in how we approach not only our lives, but also the way we treat others. Others form the foundation of our early existence, and we continually act and interact with them throughout the rest of our lives. In reality, the others are us. Each contains them, each, at core, represents everything the others are. We give and receive in such an impoverished fashion, for really there is only much to give and little if anything to lose. But how poor we are (or believe ourselves to be) and so remain in our giving. One might call it naïve to suggest that in giving we gain everything, the cosmos, but in reality, possessed of nothing, one is free. Everything we hold to fetters the limitless from expressing itself here and now. And these blocks have become the currency of our lives, what we know and rely on for what we are and what we wish to become.

Imagine a world without becoming, or rather without becoming a projected fiction of the mind. Can you? Have you any idea what becoming stripped of illusion might entail? There is no doubt “we are” just as there is little doubt we also “become.” What are we becoming, and where will we find this if we have no courage to venture into deep waters and test the edge life presents?

What edge? What waters? How little we know, and how much our fear prevents us from discovering. There may be a time when we have the courage to pierce the veils of our ancestral and inherited fears and so come upon a new field of experience entirely. Isn’t the earth waiting for such a birth? Is there not some inkling in all that this is where we are tending?

Let the truth be, and let the truth become, through us on the edge of becoming.
