Some along the Path let darkness prevail over the Light in their own lives.  While it is unfortunate that they should not embrace the Light, it is their choice.  Embracing the darkness does not lessen the appeal of the Light.  Many darkened Travelers are attracted to those who embrace the Light.  They should be avoided by those seeking Ultimate Destiny.  Their darkness can diminish the Light as darkness and Light seek equilibrium.

There is a balance and equilibrium in all things- including Light and darkness along the Path.  Seek the Light.

While walking the path, do you look forward always?  Do you ignore the earth beneath your feet or the tall grasses as they brush your fingertips?  Do you avoid the slight hills as you pass?

You should not.  Instead, see the path, see the grass, see the hills- not only with your eyes, but with your feet, your hands, your self.

Only by this experience can you know Yourself and design the Path that will define your Ultimate Destiny.

Once on the path, does one’s load help or hinder?  Surely all carry a parcel.  Regret, fear, envy, guilt, and anger can hinder progress on the path and taint destiny.  Conversely, joy, anticipation, and even greed can lighten the load and hasten the path.

But what are these emotions that hinder?  Are they of substance?  Yes.  To the slave they are dirty stones that burden them on their way.  The Master casts away these stones and never lets them find purchase in the Self.  The Master washes this filth away with joy and anticipation of further joy along the Path.

A Master must cleanse the Self of hindering emotion with feelings of joy.  Joy that is truly the Path to Destiny.
