Becoming a Spiritual Adventurer

Awareness is the world's mystical experience. Give the world a thrill. Become a spiritual adventurer.

Humans can start to enter a new phase in their history. All the wasted energy of making believe you continue after death evaporates. The world appears. Adventures can begin. Of course your world contains numerous people who will not like anyone exposing, mocking or even ignoring their social fantasies. You still play the social games - only they're not important anymore. Those close to you, family and friends, probably won't understand. It doesn't matter. They are more real and more lovely to look at than ever. You respond as you always have, but without the fear, without the edge. Laughter is always very close . . . but unseen.

Urges to preach "The New Awareness" make you laugh at yourself. It is as self-contradictory as a zen koan.

Nietzsche's "love of fate", "that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity" becomes more real to you.

There's no one to save, no one to bring to self-realization, no one even to awaken. Either you're destined to have the thought of eternal recurrence hit you or you're not.

What kind of adventures will you have? No one can tell you. It's in your spirit and only you can ride your spirit.
