The Journey of Silence

For the first few stages, you really think that you planned the trip, packed the provisions set out on a trip and you are the master of your domain. It's only after a few valleys and mountains and quite a way along that you begin to realize that there are silent guides. We come out of our philosophical materialistic framework in which we are totally identified with our bodies and the material plane of existence. And best not to think about that curtain because it's too frightening. Where along the journey do you begin to suspect that that model of how it is is only another model? This lifetime is but another part of a long long long journey.
