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. ~ By:Darren J McMurray
