389 Causality : Part 2

In my arousing fear I turned and ran all the way back
To the split in the road and with a short hesitance
Began walking down the road of causality
Strange as it was no one followed.
   As I reached the door at the end of the road
An orb of light appeared into existence
In my fear of not knowing I was taken aback
The door opened revealing nothing known
And from the orb came a voice
"Wait, your fear is invalid. Your sense of normality is unnatural
Instilled over your lifetime to inflict fear of the unknown
To see deviance and indifference as illness.
This is the door of causality, it brings enlightenment
And creates change. Though there has only been few
You are not the first to find this door open
In order to cross the threshold you must let go
Of your illusions
You must see the unknown and welcome it not with fear 
But with an open mind."
   I pondered these words for a moment then asked
"How can I be certain that what you say is true
That there really has been others before me?"
Once again the orb spoke
"In here is causality, here words became written
Here, the Sun became the center of the universe
In here the Earth became round and was no longer flat."
   The orb has spoken true. Those men are in history
They were known in their time for breaking the norm
In removing themselves from illusion
They were seen as ill and evil even
Many people became enlightened as a result of their wisdom
Again the orb spoke, "In crossing the threshold
You enter into uncertainty. Each day will bring knowledge
The experience to face the uncertainty of each new day
It will also bring the burden of pity and sorrow
For many will never surpass the illusion of normality
They will remain blind to the end of their existence
And in so, die in vain
This is the burden of knowledge and truth
In your enlightenment you will exist and with each new day
You will experience the true meaning
Of what it means to be alive
Illusion will no longer have control over you
You will face each new day with life
The uncertainty of what is to come
The wisdom to accept change as well as create it
For yourself and for others."
   "What must I do to accept this and all you say," I asked
"You are on the road of causality," the orb stated
"In order to cause change you need only to step forward."
 In the moments it took to ponder all the words
Told to me, the decision was made
I too shall break the illusions of normality
I looked into the threshold and took my step and now
I face life.
