Esoteric Dixie Dharma
Too many people fall into an either/or mindset. This happens with essentially everything you can think of - people latch onto a particular way to go about things and reject everything else. Why? The way forward will be multi-pronged. We are a diverse people…
Some key words here:
- Additive Thinking, Synthesis
- Direction
- Nuance
- Refinement
- Way Forward
- Unique Disposition
__
Destination
- Current Location
= Path
(Take the stretch of the entire road to the Destination and subtract the way you've already come. That should give you an idea of what's left to do.)
Destination = Superordinate Goal
Current Location = Individual Disposition
Superordinate Goal
- Individual Disposition
= Path
__
Path
+ Obstacles
+ Fixation
= Stagnation
(Stagnation is caused by Fixation on Obstacles that lie on the Path)
Stagnation
- Obstacles
- Fixation
= Path
(The unobstructed Path flows, because the state of Stagnation devoid of Obstacles and Fixation loses stagnancy. >> Stagnation is not inherently exsistent. It only arises dependently with the Fixation on Obstacles.)
Path + Obstacles
=
Stagnation - Fixation
(A New Route that flows on without getting attached to specific ideas and that can only be discovered if Obstacles on the Path are overcome or integrated.)

Walking the Middle Path
Stray too far to either side and fall to your doom. Even an accidental slip-up can have you tumbling into the depths that are burdensome to recover from,
or practice entering a state of balance, patiently walk the fine line between the extremes — fully open to and aware of the peripherals, yet focused on the task at hand: Finding the equilibrium as you consistently move forward.
It's not about "getting there", it's not about "there" and it's not about the way of "getting".
It is about the ability to dynamically shift Self to become a channel for the All.
If All is passing through, Nothing is Absolute.
N O T H I N G I S A B S O L U T E.
>> All is relative.
>> Absoluteness is in the Nothing.
>> No fragment is mistaken for the whole.
Become a lucent channel for the experiences that pass through your perception. And as It All passes through you, you will, unthinkingly, know what to do — where to place your next foot on the metaphorical edge.
There's no way to predetermine the correct action. Yet, the correct action is predetermied.
All you need to do is open up and receive the information that's already there.
And then, take the next step.

Energy is everywhere, all the time. We don't need to go out to get it, and we don't need to do anything either. It transcends the worldly dual boundaries of ideas like "inside" and "outside", "here" and "not here", Self and Other.
There is no Within
and there is no Without,
Like there is no Beginning
and no End.
While spending time in nature or with good people helps our material brains to indirectly experience the concept of energy through light, temperature, fresh air, sound and living things, energy is by no means bound to such experiences, nor to places or activities.
It's everywhere, all the time.
So it's up to us to become a lucent channel for the energy that passes through either way.
We can deny or accept its flow, open up or try to shut it out.
But even if the energy is "blocked", it will force a way through.
That can get uncomfortable, if not physically painful.
You are being penetrated.
Your Being, like all Being, is penetrated by - interfused with - a force greater than Ego and greater than what your physical vessel can conceive of. How presumptuous to want to control it...
Let it permeate. Let it sink in, soak it up.
Let it merge with your sense of Self.
Watch Self dissolve in the process.
M A K E W A Y .
Accept that you have little say in where the wave will be taking you.
However, that little bit of pull will determine whether you sink or swim.

A print of this graphic by M. C. Escher has been on my parents living room wall for as long as I can remember. I recall looking at it long and often when I was small, sitting upside down on the sofa, feet up against the wall, head hanging down from the seat and wondering...
What if the ceiling were where gravity pulled me and I could walk up there?
As I sat there contemplating the picture and imagining an inverted world, our home would suddenly look so foreign and new to me.

When we look at things from a different point of view, reality remains the same, but our experience drastically changes.
That doesn't distort the facts, but the act of consciously shifting perspective points a finger at the nature of our delusions.
While it feels like looking with a new set of eyes, it's really just a different pair of glasses. It's not only refreshing, it can be eye-opening:
The more frequently we get to recognize our delusion by knowingly putting on another set of spectacles, the more likely we gain awareness of the fact that we are usually wearing spectacles...

"You help me put the pieces together."
"You gave me what I was looking for."
"You're an angel."
"You're different."
"I feel clear, full and rich after speaking to you."
"You shine bright like the sun (or a star)."
"You were sent by the heavens."
People are looking for symbols, for idols, for guidance, some kind of sign or clue. And they can tell when they've found one.
Next time someone says you're not of this world, you might as well believe them.
