The Adventures of the Idiot

Have you read Dostoyesvsky's idiot, the story of an olden day Forrest Gump? The difference though, in pre-communism Russia our naive hero is getting executed by life and the greedy environment he operates in, much in contrast to Forrest Gump's Hollywood ending. So which story is the right one? There is only one way to find out, you have to try for yourself. Spirituality encourages you to be open, single-minded and childlike, "Be ye as little children", as Jesus says. If the God hypothesis is right, the skies should open up and protect you. But what if your world crumbles instead? Well, you will just have to find out for yourself.  The world is never just black and white, give the God hypothesis a shot and run your small experiments. In my experience, once you are a spiritual traveler you should discover the protection of the Tao. Of course, there will be a few missteps along the Way as well. Observe, adjust and start afresh each morning, in the end you will know if the Hollywood ending applies for you  "By their fruits ye shall know them". May your journey be safe and happy.
