The Glass Tunnel

Many of us sit in our own ways, ways instilled in us by society, family, and other forces.


We walk down a glass tunnel with our eyes focused forward and though we see the world pass by from the corners of our eyes we choose to just look straight ahead and feel as if we’re moving forward.


Little do we know that if we were to stop and look around, we would realize how big our world truly is and by breaking the glass we can find ourselves free.


This is not to say that the path down the glass tunnel is wrong or false, but that it is only a part of the whole and that it may not necessarily be the path that we want to take.


We must realize that we are but a short breath exhaled by the universe and no matter what we do the universe will move on. Thus, in this incredibly short amount of time that we have, we can only be more aware of ourselves and the world around us and from that, begin to realize our true potential.


Our true potential lies within our ability to follow a path that is not artificially constructed, but a path that organically comes from our being. 


We never became divorced from the Way or God or the Higher Reality. The tunnel is made of glass, so the view has always been there, we just need to look and truly see.
