Two paths have been trodden, named and chosen by many travelers. The distinction lies in your relation to the world. To the left, denial of the impositions of the world. Hardship, pain, power, and glory. You become god. To the right, acceptance of the inherent teachings of the world. Easily flowing humbleness, serene samadhi beyond all personality. God becomes you.

Really, it's more like two ruts in one road. Two sides of a gradient scale, not a binary system. Anyone who claims to be all of one side doesn't understand the distinction, or is probably an asshole. To truly experience the ecstasy and totality of our existence, ride right down the center letting both sides pull on you with great rapture as you stretch and break into something terribly beautiful.

To those leaning left:
Do not deny so senselessly that you lose connection with the native ingenuity of an open heart. If you close yourself to the world's cruel response to your will, you know nothing of strength through adversity. Take your deepest powers, your most beautiful creations, let them be crushed and befouled, and let the force of this chaos unbound and redefine your consciousness. Hold on to nothing but the drive to push further.

To those leaning right:
Be humble enough to know the beauty of darkness and death. Become transparent, let every action be moved by the divine flow. Do not confuse fearing darkness with sustaining light. If you make this mistake, you have closed yourself. Experience all as beautiful. Trust the power of the most divine force. Hold no desires or dreams, offer all to the flow. When you meet your oppressors, do not kneel unless you are ready to fight when you rise.

To the closed ones, the cloying game makers, those who would presume superiority:
Did you think this was a game, motherfucker? If you start accepting the pain now, you might make it out with some semblance of what you consider beauty. Have fun as your kingdoms crumble in the coming months. We certainly will.
