We all dream of the perfect way to live. We dream of new and better and more. We often think that we must get everything right. That the dream depends on us geting everything perfect and right. That the way we choose must be right in order for us to be. But what is it that we want to be?

First, there is no one absolute "right" way. That is why there is so much division. EVERYONE wants to be right. After all, if you are right, then you are assured of what? Perfection? Salvation? But ask yourself... who will save you from yourself and save others from you and your ideas of right? Each of us has our own light and voice to follow.

The knowing within comes from listening to that voice... that inner voice...not the voice of dogma. If your path and beliefs cause you to harm others or yourself then it's time to re-think the pathway and look closely at the beliefs you hold. There are those that have wisdom who can help guide but ultimately, the choice is up to you.

You have to make the decisions on what to believe and how to act. You alone are responsible for your thoughts, your words and your actions. We can learn from those who have come before and those who are here on this Earth now. But again, one must choose wisely. There is not a single person or path with all the answers. And the questions do not always have answers.

One must look to the wisdom of the ages within self, not to man's religions or technology. One must see with the heart. Progress is not always the way forward. Sometimes it leads one into a false sense of security. More is not always better. Sometimes less is more. Think about it.

"...The man who follows the crowd will ususally get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has been before. Creativity in living is not without its attendant difficulties, for peculiarity breeds comtempt. And the unfortunate thing about being ahead of your time is that when people finally realize you were right, they'll say it was obvious all along. You have two choices in life: you can dissolve into the mainstream, or you can be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different. To be different, you must strive to be what no one else but you can be..." Alan Ashley-Pitt
