1.a.
The chain of events from which I've liberated myself was, indeed, rusted and tarnished; old as the concepts of which it was symbolic: slavery, oppression -- all that is the very antithesis of freedom, itself.
The reach of the chain was to the illusion of liberty, to the fruit for impatient men so hungry for the nutrition of Spirit and yet so fresh and new to the human flesh that, well, a man would know not where to look. All he ever reached for was and is God and yet all he ever got was the drama of the Reaching Man.
Eventually it becomes clear, though, that the only purity in existence has no specific form, it is the indivisible (of which he is necessarily a part, knowingly or not). He is never without it and so it is never out of reach nor does he need to reach, at all. The state of being without IT (the Tao, one might call it, the Connection, the Liasson, or whatever) is, in truth, a state of Confusion, the cure for which is patience and meditation -- inaction.
1.b.
During inaction, one permits the Universe to act, to do what it does, to precipitate what it will from the threatening clouds of obscurity and fertilize the soul with the Touch of Nature's enlightening, quenching response.

Now is a living entity
Now is an organic system
Now is both finite and infinite
Now is space, time, material and consciousness.
Now is a consciousness unto itself -- nous.

A cadeia de eventos de que me libertei foi, de fato, enferrujada e manchada; antiga como os conceitos de que era simbólico: escravidão, opressão - tudo isso é a própria antítese da liberdade, em si.
No alcance da corrente era a ilusão de liberdade: o fruto de homens impacientes e tão famintos pela nutrição do Espírito e ainda tão frescos e novos à carne humana que, bem, um homem não saberia onde procurar. Tudo o que ele alcançou foi e é Deus e, no entanto, tudo o que ele já conseguiu foi o drama do "Homem Alcançando".
Eventualmente, torna-se claro, porém, que a única pureza na existência não possui uma forma específica, é indivisível (do qual ele é necessariamente parte, conscientemente ou não). Ele nunca está sem "aquilo" e, portanto, nunca está fora do alcance, nem ele precisa alcançar. O estado de estar sem "Aquilo" (o Tao, um pode chamá-lo, a Conexão, o Liasson ou o que quer que seja) é, na verdade, um estado de confusão, cuja cura é paciência e meditação - inatividade.
1.b.
Durante a inação, um permite ao Universo agir, fazer o que faz, precipitar o que ele provoca das nuvens ameaçadoras, que vem da obscuridade, e fertilizar a alma com a resposta esclarecedora e apaziguadora do Toque da Natureza.

Agora é uma entidade viva
Agora é um sistema orgânico
Agora é finito e infinito
Agora é espaço, tempo, material e consciência.
Agora é uma consciência em si mesma.
