(Maybe this will work. Still struggling to get the Enlightenment book off to a good start. :-) ) Chapter One -THE FOOLS JOURNEY - Breaking With Culture The first step of the journey to enlightenment does seem foolish to those still embedded or entrapped by their culture and traditions. Why in the world would anybody but a fool want to leave a good life, breaking with friends, family, job and church, to strike out on a nebulous journey of self-discovery alone and into the wilderness? Surely this person is not acting in a sane manner, claiming to be motivated only by some vague feelings and thoughts that something very serious is missing in life and that somehow what one now has is not enough! It may never happen or maybe later in life after tremendous suffering and dead end chases after the illusionary pots of gold at the ends of the materialistic rainbows, that this “fool’s journey” may begin to make sense. Maybe the people embarking in their late teens and early twenties on this nebulous journey of self-discovery were really on to something only to be swept back into the accepted norms of culture and suffering by the all-powerful collective demands of culture and tradition. Maybe even I was at one time one of these idealistic youths who just did not make the grade and fell back as family, work and other responsibilities began to pile up, leaving my idealistic dreams in shambles. Maybe in old age after the kids are grown and there is time in retirement to sit and think that some will look back on their lives and wonder is there more to life than this. Among the feelings of depression, anger, anxiety and even hate, thoughts and questions might arise here and there. Did I miss something important in life amongst all the demands of society and family that has been responsible for why I now suffer so much? Has a damaged mental and emotional life led to or accelerated the physical diseases that now incapacitate and hinder my quality of life?
