Tackling the M O U N T A I N

This feeling you get right at the beginning, it places you directly on the edge of your comfort zone. There are so many thoughts racing, "Am I going to have what it takes to endure this." "Will this destroy me?" "What is the journey going to be like?" But the reality of the situation is this....... You won't ever know what the path ahead has in store for you until you are on the other side reflecting back on it (that is to say if you are able to reflect on it). Tackling the Mountain is an integral part of each individuals journey to the center of oneself, you must face all of the outdated and corrupted versions of your former self and sometimes even worse (your current self). Address this side is destructive and many people will run away into the vices to hide away from the work that is screaming to get attention to, you have felt this right? That lingering feeling that something needs to be done yet you can't quite put your finger on it... You've continually pushed down the root cause and now all you have to work with is the symptoms of your pain and suffering, because you cannot truly see you fabricate stories as to why this may be occurring and each time you do the fabrications allow you to drift further and further from the truth, your truth. The truth is this: You helped guide all of the dangerous and explosive situations that have happened in your life and in saying that there is only one person that can actually help you. (that person is you) Once you realize who that person is everything starts to make sense, it's not going to be a miracle fix, it's going to sting a lot when you can accept this view but it is the truth. You can feel the difference between the truth and a lie, there is a certain weight the truth has. Try it out right now and tell yourself something like, I weight 1000kg compared to saying, I weigh (my actual weight). We've become so comfortable with lying that we continually bring ourselves down from within without our conscious awareness of it. Then even when we do have an awareness of this changing it is still just as difficult because our physiology is adjusted to move into the space we have constantly practiced from so long. I am not trying to scare you with all of this information, its just information at the end of the day, it is your own reaction to the information that should be the alarming issue at hand. It will tell you more about yourself than anyone ever can, when you begin to get to know why it is you do what you do everything starts to unfold and reveal more of the truth. That's when you know you are ready to tackle the Mountain and begin....
