11, hooves, Trusted Steed... It's easier to Express Opinions than it is to Evoke Thought... Enter the Great Circle of the Unknown without Fear... I often wonder about the difference between our so-called Reality & Illusion - I follow my Dreams because I Believe & therefore I Act while, Willingness without Action, is just Fantasy... The gift of Sight is one of 5 senses through which we interpret the physical world whilst Vision is the ability to *see* beyond the veil of Illusion or that which is not apparent to the naked eye - CONCLUSION: there are many who walk this earth *blind* to what Is & what could Be... Succe$$ is not letting anyone get in the way of your Dreams whilst Solitude is not letting anyone in with whom to share them... QUESTION: Two trains situated at opposite ends of the track - if distance is not a factor, how long until they meet? ANSWER: (A) NO Movement = NO Progress, NO Exceptions <Mind>. (B) For the Dreamer the tracks are but an Illusion hence, the boundaries of Time and Space do not apply <Heart>. From the time railroad tracks were laid across the land with the inception of the Iron Horse, the wheels of Progress were set in motion - the vehicle upon which Humanity is riding as we move farther away from the Inner Truth of our Spiritual roots and into the trappings of materialism and conformity. We've become unconscious slaves to the system - dependent upon commerce for our sustenance, shelter, clothing, energy, transportation, communication, entertainment, etc., whilst suffocating in the residue of our productivity. We trade our Time in exchange for pieces of paper we know as currency, the value of which is subject to the bidding of the elite who control the world markets. We've become entangled in a web of Illusion, devolving in a downward spiral - working longer hours to bring in higher incomes so that we can spend more whilst falling deeper into debt and subservience to the system which enslaves us. Our Time is ravished by the consumer craze we're driven by, which leads us astray from our True Nature and ultimately, leaving us with less appreciation for the meaning in our Lives. We've lost our way in our quest to realize the American Dream - a rat race led to the brink of extinction by the Pied Pipers of Government, Religion, Culture, or any other Institution in Authority influenced by the Puppet Masters of the Corporate world. The vicious circle we chase our tails around is propelled by the global plantation of the elite, where WE are the spokes on the Wheels of Progress and which in turn could be brought to a grinding halt should We decide to withdraw our support - if only Humankind were to awaken from our deep slumber of forgetfulness to find our Hearts once more. Only then can we reconnect with the essence of our True Nature and resume our journey along the path towards Clarity; Enlightenment; and Receptivity as we were intended whilst on this Earth. What is it that You see when you trace the tracks of our Progress - Reality or Illusion? The answer depends on whether or not one is a Dreamer who is fully Awakened...
