The Original Path

The path of love is walked by originality. Most people do not see themselves as being original. They see themselves walking the same path walked by the same kind of people looking for the same kind of security and reward at the end. And they are right to think of themselves as unoriginal because they are. The path of power only allows unoriginal thinkers to succeed. Those who walk the path of power can never understand originality because the reason they walk the path stems from unoriginality.

To be original is to be in our natural state of becoming. When we see young children we can see their natural freedom to be themselves. They have their own curiosities and areas they wish to explore. It is society that put a block in this natural process and conditioned us to conform. Rather than allowing the child to discover and create its own path society gives us a path to follow from grade school to retirement.

If you try to find your true path through a conditioned mind how far can you really go? Is "right thinking" in such a mind, truly right thinking? Your mind contains no original thoughts if they are rooted deeply in the system. Our system teaches What to Think, not How to Think. Our education system wastes time teaching knowledge when all they need to do is to teach a child how to use an encyclopedia. Imagine if the time in our school was used to help us find ourselves. Society raises individuals that know a lot of information but little of themselves. That is why it is so difficult to see the path of love even when it is the obvious path the self truly desires.

When we spend so little time to understand ourselves we become unoriginal and live by a path designed by the few. In order to regain your lost originality you must first learn to listen to yourself. Learn to calm your mind and pinpoint your thoughts. Take a deep hard look at your thoughts as they come and go. Where do these thoughts come from? Are these your original thoughts or thoughts conditioned by someone else? Is there an authority standing behind your thoughts? You must learn to understand these thoughts and see how they come to life. 

The path of love can only be seen by you. It is the path that you begin to walk when you find your original self. When you begin to understand yourself you will want to live your life in its most original state. Remember, to be original is to be in our natural state of becoming. You will not struggle or suffer to find your path. Understand who you are and the natural process will occur.

Those who walk the path of power only want to arrive at the end. They see the journey as a race towards a serious end. To them it does not matter how unoriginal their entire journey maybe towards that end as long as they get there. Those who walk the path of love see their journey as a musical composition. The point is not to get the end as fast as you can. The point is to take each step conscious of your original creation. It is the composition in its entirety that is to be played, listened, and loved not just its final note.

Your life should reflect who you are and not what society or someone else wants you to be. Society and authorities have prevented us from discovering who we truly are. Only by awakening to this fact can we even begin to search for an alternative. If we followed our natural process of becoming original individuals our world would be filled with original paths. And when each path is walked by people who love and wish to share this love we will see the world change.
