Coach said, “I still believe a day can come for the whole human race
when the opportunity can pop
up in high relief for the whole world to start operating out of love.”

Will every acorn that falls to the ground become i.e. grow into a two
hundred and fifty-year-old fully-grown, mature fruit barring oak?

Is ‘belief’ an aid or a barrier to true esoteric i.e.
psychological/spiritual inner growth of a human beings essence?

Or is it more essentially productive to not ‘believe’ anything yet
purpose to disbelieving nothing, while maintaining verification through
personal living experience so that one can “know” for ones self the
reality of a thing?

Is not the vast opportunities our living beings provide provision
enough for anyone that is willing to “pay the required price” to inner
into the kingdom of the miraculous in any given eternal moment of the
now?

I know there are ‘real’ potential possibilities, yet I remain unwilling
to sacrifice i.e. pay the required price for internal freedom. Die
before I die, who ever heard of such ridiculous suggestion? For Gods
sake I’m not even willing to sacrifice my own mechanical suffering. In
a good moment yes maybe my ‘will’ and ‘life’ i.e. my thoughts and
actions for an extremely important (to me) cause, to a very immature
degree, but my suffering God forbid what would become of me? Not to
mention my lying, internal considering, unnecessary talking, and my
negative emotions. No, I al-to-so often choose to stay drunk in the
public house of life, drinking the cocktails, and the first ones always
on the house, it’s a very expensive drink, that always comes in an
extremely enticing glass called “self-pity”. And always gets me really
drunk really quickly.
