Leaving the Twilight-Zone Behind

The ultimate goal is goallessness.
When that is attained, nothing
further is required.

The solution cannot be found in time.
How much time is required to be
what one already is.
Wu Hsin

The stories of the olden days are often about the Holy Grail. The old knight has won and lost many battles. He has found the love of his life but lost her to an opponent. He started his journey as a handsome man, full of vigor and righteousness, but at the end of a long journey he himself no longer knows what is right or wrong. He sees a bridge. The Holy Grail waits on the other side for him and all that he has to do is to take the few steps across. Home, finally!

If you have read countless books on spirituality and asked yourself, “why can’t I have what she is having?”Wu Hsin gives the answer, you must still have some goals, repressed or out in the open, otherwise you wouldn’t be stumbling in the twilight zone right now. The old knight had many, his craving for name and fame; his love for the fair dame; the righteousness handed down on him by his notion of God, king and country. Life had to brutally break him to get him to the bridge.

If you want to leave the twilight zone you have two choices. Either you pursue what deep down inside you know you still have to do, or you just sit there and understand that you don’t have to prove nothing to anyone, that love always surrounds you no matter what, and that your world is perfect as is. Sometimes it is a little bit of both. While still building, connecting with loved ones and enjoying life’s treasures, you know deep down inside that you already are ‘there’.
