The more you know about yourself;
The less you need to look to others for answers.
Lets start with the knowledge that all of your limitations, fears and doubts
were taught to you.
Just like being told that other people are more important than you.
Or that you have to follow someone else's path.

And you have to not only know this;
But, you need to "realize" it.

Probably the biggest thing we struggle with is morality.
Are we being "good enough", are our thoughts "pure enough"?
Well, yes to both.
Lots of people talk about Yen and Yang.
They talk about balance and universal equality.
But they don't go into its meaning.
What it means is that you will always have those feelings and desires that
the world tells you are "unacceptable".
You are told not to have a desire to kill; But without it, humanity either would have been
killed off by predatory animals, or starved.
You are told not to have lust; But without the lust for another, humanity would have
never populated the earth. You wouldn't be here.
We are told not to have a desire for violence.
But it is violence that has kept us free from any more oppression than we have.
What the Yen and Yang teaches is that both sides are not only
equally balanced; But equally essential.
And you realistically cant say that you follow the god of the old testament
without acknowledging that he embraced this "Yen".
Telling someone to go into a city and kill everything;
Men, Women, Children, Babies, their pets and all their livestock.
Doesn't get much darker than that.
But these things are for another time.
My point is to try and get you to understand that you and all your reasoning are part of what
makes you, You.
It is learning how to accept them, control them and eventually find the "divine contentment"
that comes from the realization that they (both sides) are nothing more than distractions.
