Deliberately Misleading
Life on Earth is deliberately misleading.
Things are meant to go wrong or be delayed so that we can proudly point this out and argue. And things still go wrong all the same; it will never be put right because we live in conflict which keeps it all going. There are systems within systems, temples within temples. This is the maze we’re living in, but it is in finally realising the nature of this amazing maze that liberation occurs.
We cannot be spoon-fed.
It’s for each individual to realise the way out.
Enlightenment is a matter of solving the problem.
The answer is not in the words, but in the experience.
“All that glitters is not gold”.
This aphorism states that not everything which looks precious or true turns out to be so.
As long as we adhere to the words, we will never know the meaning.
It’s not about copying down the answer from someone else’s book.
Courage is needed to work on one’s own.
Life is a test.
The Buddha said so:
“Don’t take my words for the truth; test them.”
