Many of the things we do are influenced bye the way we see the waterfall.
<We do things in reaction to how we feel the water and the light.
If life is
where you chouse to be when the water goes by.
In such we have three states.
First there is standing in the pool in front of the falls, its cool, refreshing, and pleasant to look at. Some have chosen that place. life is good, and clear. We all start there. You know what to do and how to do it. Sometimes one wants to see more "LIGHT" than one can use.There are more folks here than you think!
Second there are the ones who want more light, the ones who walk into the falls for the light in the falls a bit of sanity, and Now can not get out. Reality is very heavy, and Sanity can be very high! Its hard to see very far in the falls the light gets bent, sometimes there is more than one source of light. The water hurts coming down, sometimes it hurts so much that you do not which way to go. so you seek the light, but rember there are two lights the one that guide us out and the other that in the falls also. It likes the strive, the pain, the sorrow of the falls. When we chase the light with out stopping to look for it. we do not notice the circles we are going in. When we stop and look around, then we notice that the light that closest to us is moving here and there. Its seems brighter, but that cause its also in the falls. Look for the light that steady, unmoving, constant, and pure light. It will guide you out! All of us have been there. Most are still there. Looking for the light, trying, falling under the weight! Getting up again only to slip.
Then there is "the place" many have found it not knowing the "LIGHT", they follow the light there eyes are familiar with. They go back into the falls, away from the "LIGHT".
A few
stubble into the falls, it fells good, for a season. Then they close there eyes
to a slit, just enough to keep the water from hurting ther eyes. Just enough to
not trip over over someone that in our way. Just enough to see the light.
sometimes we stop and help someone, sometimes not. Then we see, through the sliver
we see through another light! One that is not moving. It the same place, not
moving around, pure Light we saw once or twice before, as we wandered in
the falls. Back then we did not know it was coming from behind us. We
go toward the light, farther , farther than we wanted to. We are drawn to it,
something inside says come closer. Pease is here. The surrounding grow dim, but the light grows
brighter, cleaner, closer. Then as we get closer we notice we have left
the falls with out even a notice. We are in "THE CAVE" protected from the outside,
and still in the warm light. We stop catch our breath and notice that the
air is good and the note the cave is not a bad place to be.
Only a few have waited long enough for there eyes to adjust.
Then they notice that that the light here is also, the pure clean Light, just filtered
by sanity. and that it is very pleasant to be there.
What does this rambling of and old man mean? It means that once you make up your mind which side of sanity you are on. You can get on with doing thing. With out the pain, without the weight of reality coming down on you! You can cope, You can find the peace inside, so the light can be saw more clearly. With the Lights help, maybe even use the water in the falls it can be used for good.
Another way of asking the question is. What side of sanity are you on.
In the outside you have very little control of your environment, behind the falls you can make your on mood. not as much control from out side source. Just you and the light
I prefer the cave! Bye the way I put up some wood paneling, just for the effect.

*rules: The falls get us in the end! We want to go out into the Light!
