does it take a lifetime of living and struggling before we begin a meaningful
search for our truth? I don't believe that is necessary. I began my conscious
journey to enlightenment when I was around 50 years of age. I was brought up in
the churches and believed that it was just one of those things in life that we
had to do. Actually I was dragged to church kicking and screaming and later
reluctantly went on my own volition from fear and guilt. All of this ritual
stuff really didn't mean much to me at the time and still doesn't. I now have
some understanding of why people go to church and what motivates them. But I
still don't think it is necessary. Religion, structure, ceremonies, symbols,
affirmations, prayers and meditations are steps to get you there (wherever that
is); they help focus your mind. I still believe that the shortest distance
between to points is in a straight line and more than likely the path of least
resistance. My whole life has been about getting there as fast as I
can

of wisdom, that it is the trip that counts not getting there. In fact I don't
think I really want to get there anymore. Once the trip is over there is no
where to go. The physical realm of existence is the most intoxicating; it is
where we use our five senses of touch, taste, smell, site and hearing. I can't
imagine being in another place that we don't use them. This is the dilemma that
the creator had before he went into self-discovery; he created the physical
world of relativity so that he could look back upon himself and see how
magnificent heshe was through the five senses. Truth is as liquid as the water
that surrounds this pla and we create our new truth in every waking moment of
every day. At one time our truth was that the world was flat, that truth no
longer works for us. Enlightenment brings new truths into our experience and
knowledge or awareness is power. Thought controls all power and awareness of
that truth expands our horizons and gives us more choices and freedom. It was
our truth at one time that moving into the industrial revolution would make our
lives easier and free us up to have more time to spend on leisure and with our
families. Our new truth is that we now must have two working partners in a
household so that we can support the machines that are at home taking it

spending the day gossiping with each other in our living rooms and kitchens. My
new theory or truth is that we are taking this whole life thing away too
seriously. We have forgotten what is really important to us. The technology
isn't working except to keep us alive long enough to pay for it. The trip is not
a race, happiness is not found in having the most machines. Life is a social
experience, an interaction between the souls that make up the pla, that is how
it was intended and we do not need to live for the machines. It is observable
that the happiness that we seek is artificially produced through the drugs that
we take to keep us going and awake for a few hours a day. Leisure if forced onto
us and more drugs are used to slow us down for a few days that we might take
time off for recreation. Enlightenment moves us away from this vicious cycle and
motivates us to begin to enjoy the trip. It is a trip that can last forever if
we choose it to be so. Awareness can bring joy and happiness even in this world
of chaos and absurdity. It has taken all these years for me to realize that I
wasn't really in a hurry to get here in the first place. Enlightenment and
wisdom does not necessarily e with age, it can be achieved at any age if one
slows down long enough to listen to hisher own intuition. The world is the way
it is because you and I have allowed ourselves to be caught up in the noise of
the rush to get nowhere. We are already where we are trying to get to, to this
stage of self awareness. The peace and happiness that you seek can be obtained
in a heart beat if you just stop and listen. The way you are living now is still
just a choice and experience that you do not have to aept. The real trip is in
knowing what is the real thing and what is more of an illusion of that thing.
You don't have to wait until you are 50 to begin to understand. Can you imagine
what you could really experience as fulfilling and meaningful

what you could create with the wisdom of a 50 year old at the age of twenty? You
have heard it before "If only I knew then, what I know now." I don't believe
that one needs to concern oneself so much with discovery but with the experience
of discovery. Wisdom does not e from churches, philosophers, books or even this
article; it es from the positive application of what you have learned from your
life experiences. If something is not working for you, don't do it anymore. Do
not live somebody else's truth, create your own. Move away from the mind

and take the long way home, learn to enjoy it and stop to smell the flowers.
Eliminate all things and all people from your life that lead you away from
happiness. Be happy first and you will draw those things and the people into
your life that best reflects happiness to you. Why are you in such a hurry, why?
