clarity is something that manufactures you. all the meditation in the world makes you still, but so does death, knowledge that comes from being between life and death is the strongest mortar for the bricks you would lay. Anyone can live, Anyone can quit life anytime. It is the threshing, those moments between life and death where the grains of wisdom are separated from the chaff. Two worlds collide in you: the inner world is your tether to your God; the outer world, a tether to your life. You may choose to follow either lead, but you are the center of the pull for each. Their tension is what gives you your existence. It is also what makes each choice inevitable. Mortality is a condensed version of infinity; Cliff notes, so to speak: "to be or not to be". Keep reading, but remember: words describe existence. Beyond existence languages crumble. There is a place that is beyond all belief. In this place there is no need for knowledge. There is, in fact, no need.
