One Perfect Moment

We seek knowledge yet turn away from it; seek courage yet fear finding it. Knowledge leads to finding Self, courage to some action or other, whose extension we fear, for that extension is ours.

We do not understand that we already are everything we believe we seek. We fear because intuitively, we know that what we desire likely will hurt us. This, because we do not know what we are.

We want desperately to remain "where" we are. This is the hell that we know. It is dark, but we are used to it. We know nothing else, though we catch glimpses, we see flashes.

The knowledge we seek has always been ours. The courage we think we dare not extend was extended in our creation. It stretches forever in this one perfect moment. The courage of the faithful is courageous because it knows there is nothing to fear.

We do know what we are, we just taught ourselves to forget. The forgetting is but a bank of clouds, and we have but to ask our Self to guide us through, into the light. A hand is extended. We have but to realize we had not let go of it.

"I am with you always."
