Alo: They want someone to follow... see back of master's head, while walking path... but only, if, it is an easy follow... little effort... comfortable... but, also, only if promised huge rewards... huge hunger, tiny willpower... follow, find rest... rest is the following... easy... burden, light... never suffer... not even required to think...
De: How many now... ten... twenty... more? None, were truly followed... but, still, the people, still expected rewards...
Alo: Say, man's name... then, believe, they will be given rewards...
De: Effort... say, one word...
Alo: Yes... and, that appears to be, about all that can be...
De: It is not comfortable, in this world... say it one way, people want it said another way... say it the other way, and people want it said yet another way...
Alo: When younger, I preferred to speak three word sentences... compressed concepts... people told me it was wrong... I changed, to four word sentences... people still said it was wrong... then several dozens of descriptive words per sentence... still wrong. The people... they believe, that they already know... everything...
De: And, that, we should speak the words, that the people already believe...
Alo: Yes... recite the same words, that the people have memorized... uncomfortable... words, so many words... so few people know what words mean... rare, to meet a person who can describe a word...
De: One man, spoke one way... another man, spoke another way... all men, claimed, the only way...
Alo: Pieces... 'calm when nothing be high low'... 'calm and not drift...straighten'... can also mean 'flat when nothing be high low'... 'root name calm'... spoken, many different ways, by many different men... but only pieces...
De: Words pointed at center... but not same center... some men described their center... empty... selfish... hungry... none described beautiful center...
Alo: Thinking of a man... odd words... he said, poorly, that holy men ought to ignore, or give disdain, to senses... to free one's self from an enslavement of senses... to instead, be of stomach... regardless of what the man might have intended, he spoke of the stomach, not the heart... to me, his words, spoke of hunger... selfish desires... also spoke, of an ignorance of body and mind... also ignorance of what is judged to be a good man. The many men, who wrote words of ways, also did not know... could not see, their own thoughts... could not feel, their own bodies...
De: Made claims, of things, that cannot be true... if can measure measure, then, cannot not know high low...
Alo: Yes... cannot speak words, if calm not know high low... not possible... cannot be compassion, if calm not know hurt... not possible... cannot be love, if calm not know harmony... not possible... cannot so much as eat, or put on clothes, if calm not know high low... not possible...
De: Subconscious perhaps... only, tiny, consciousness calm... but, there, again that proves, the men could not see their own minds... also, proves, their words, false...
Alo: Some men, knew so little, that they believed that knowing nothing at all was the supreme knowing... believers, learned, to know nothing... do nothing...
De: No harmony... no creativity... no worthiness... no values... no qualities... no beauty... no happiness... no love... and, no reciprocation... the believers, became, callous... became, their own destruction... believe, what a person wishes to believe, but, still, their beliefs cannot change Nature's way... fantasies, follow fantasies... bodies, and minds, follow Nature...
Alo: People claim, to believe, in tulku... a tulku could walk, city streets... walk city mall... speak to people... and no one would know...
De: People, not believe possible... the very thing, that people claim is true...
Alo: Yes... infant child, explain, tulku... describe, firsthand... people deny it possible, while also claiming tulku real... people, give mouth to one ideology... give bow to a different ideology... bosom neither...
De: Precisely... not serve two masters... serve neither... believe neither...
Alo: Disheartening... want to help, it is our nature... care for other people... care for all life... but, cannot help... people, must help themselves... we, also, had to teach ourselves... no other way...
De: There... nothing to follow... nothing, to learn... only, something to become... cannot be taught...
Alo: Ingredients... ours... they, are, now, proportional... good ratios... harmony... change one, cause all to be harmed... caring, outwardly, must remain... it is a core ingredient of all harmony, which, means, that we will not, and cannot, choose different. We must continue helping other people, else, all harmony dies...
De: The only logic... not follow a teaching, but, rather, choose what is correct behavior... correctness, itself, becomes its own dao... the only correct thing known to exist, is Nature... Nature rules mind, rules body, rules earth, rules universe, but not rule choice...
Alo: Yes, but, most people do not grasp what that means... it requires effort of mind, to think, to weigh, to judge, to choose... all while being mindful of being mindful... clouds do not float inside the earth... one correct judge, then, progress to another... easy...
De: Easy to us... maybe not easy to others...
Alo: True... does require many judgings... but, in time, surely even outsiders would begin to understand the difference between fantasy and reality...
De: Large expectations... might still not be possible...
Alo: True, but, of our own people, there is hope...
De: Father, and the other elders, they have given us, a door... now, it is our own responsibility, to widen the door... keep the door open, for all others...
Alo: And that is why we continue speaking to visitors... hoping, they too, will reason the door...
De: Tall hope, low expectations... the weighing, says, impractical... but, if goal, can be reached, then, weighing says, balance, effort little, result large... like harmony... little things, correct, create large things, harmony...
Alo: Morning Dove, and the others, gave much effort... their effort, enabled us to be here, now... now our turn to give much effort...
De: Yes... the few, they chose their place... they chose their path... walked their own path... found their own place...
Alo: And, so... you and I, we baked our own flavor of harmony... no one else can have same harmony flavor... each person, must bake their own... many different flavors of bread, but, still all bread... but now, where we are today... where is our place now?
De: Alone... maybe? But, that is okay with me... you, are my harmony... this, is where we walked...
Alo: And continue to walk... alone... but also with purpose, of harmony, with community...
