Going on an adventure trip into deeper reality is very likely to end up in a little desaster sooner or later. The world that you are about to discover is highly diverse and paradox, and the tiniest step out of our physical reality is not really in your control any more. Adventure means playing, experimenting and looking for a kick, or maybe searching for a valid escape from the "real" world. All sorts of tools that cross your way are exciting and promising, and it is great to go and discover. Bear in mind though that looking for a deeper reality almost automatically comes along with being more responsible for yourself and what you are about to experience. Let's face it - even though there are libraries full of spiritual books from Shamanism to Witchcraft, Buddhism, "The Secret" literature, and New Age - in the end we have no idea at all what we are and what we are doing here. Not to speak of how this all works. There is no way of finding the right path to this whole thing called life. It will always be a mystery, even the masters fall in despair every now and then when they realize that all their achievements mean nothing in comparison with the whole. It cannot be figured out. Enlightenment is just a higher state of being from which another state follows and so on. Realizing this leaves you standing in awe for creation. And these are good news: You can relax, there is nothing you could ever claim to be the truth. At the same time this does mean you are allowed to live out your little "passion" about this whole game. Truth and the drive towards it is within you, within everyone of us. There is just a few people who feel it a bit more intense than others. And if you are one of them - live it out! It is the best game you will ever play! And you know why? Not only because it is the only game to play, also because you don't have to defend positions - you don't have to defend opinions - because there simply are none to hold onto. There is no other truth than yours. Isn't that true liberation? Live your life - it is only yours. Andreas , Jan 2008
