There are greater things in this earth than it, and many more fulfilling. Even from an Awakened perspective, widening your views, not heightening them, often bears the greater reward. And also... to be a Master is to also come into full awareness of how the Fallen World hates you. Yes, you, specifically, and many once simple things become frought with danger. To others, to yourself, your soul, the very reality you walk. Follow the call if you wish, but you are not a better, stronger person for it. You do that by being a better, stronger person."'' |
