” It is just that when people are living on the surface of their life, they are only experiencing the surface … just the body and the mind. Then awareness seems to be the most impossible thing [to achieve], so difficult.”

How mighty is the surface, how overriding! How deceiving! How diversionary! One might take into one’s account the testing of it all, the trial, where the rubber meets the road, without which undergoing all else is found to be but platitude, mere words, supposition.

On a coarser plane, allow that we take into account this. Consider how many well-intended people go forth to achieve of good ends — say, those who seek to work on behalf of wildlife preservation or, in other words, anything far out from the immediate compass that is best to be worked with first — though environmental preservation is a good thing — but which only addresses this thing of surface living, the easiest, and which living is not where the true heights and depths are to be fought-for, won, and achieved.

The outside of nature is much easier to administer than is conquering the fits and start’s of one’s lower nature within as to balance the forces within. We should find it much more economical to stress focus and energy upon ourselves first that the outer conditions right themselves in due course, naturally, for then we will have let things alone, without our merest mis-import of power to avail those ends.

…but not before some have to pay for all their unforgiven sin in hell….
