Soaring

     Everything is light, absolutely everything. This lifting power has once carried you up, revealed you the delight of flying, and then set you free as any fledgling, so you would learn further yourself. Those who did learn are flying and will never fall; but others fell down and crashed, or, at the best, got badly hurt – they were lifted up not high enough or maybe they couldn’t manage it. Now they stand or creep down there, cursing the power as their misfortune, not able to comprehend WHAT they missed. But you managed it; you are flying above them, calling them up, and are surprised why they are hiding from you; you are not able to realize that for them you are the embodiment of that evil power, which struck them so painfully; and the more you call them, the stronger their fear and hatred towards you become. To fly, faster, higher – before someone from them would pick up a stone and knock you down. Away, away from them – they are not brothers from the same pack any longer, but a burden, and it drags you down. Higher, higher, and higher. The higher, the lighter. Everything is. Internal lightness – this is what is the most important now. Everything is within the reach. Everything is manageable. Another lovely creature is ascending. It got released – and it went flying, now all by itself. How delightful it is! And suddenly you are flying together with it, and it’s not quite clear how that happened: you just flew closer to it, and then you went flying together. You are still surprised about that, but  already starting  to

understand that this is a different world, without     those stupid conventional rules – they are left down there. It is funny to notice from time to time how the creature looks back down and wants to bring up those who are down there – but do not interfere, do not teach, by no means! For everybody should learn this for himself, and words and own example are of no help here. There, and this trial is passed, now you are rising up, and in all your flight you feel the joy of height and of returning back into the realm that now became your home. And now again you are flying together, sometimes coming closer, sometimes going further apart, but never too far and not for too long. It is not because one does not let other go or calls him back – there is no such notion in this world as “not to let go” – it is unnecessary and incorrect. Everyone has flight of his own, but they may go together, side by side. There is no need to explain anything; everything happens naturally, everything is clear and acceptable. Misunderstanding is left down there and already forgotten, as well as intolerance. Already got stronger enough to be able to fearlessly go down and then fly up again. Such landings do not frighten any more as at the first time, when sat down and then feared that would not be able to take off again – that was very terrifying. Now there came confidence, and that last fear is left behind down there together with the first independent flight. To fly – this is what is cardinal now.  Further, higher, faster. To reach for more and more. The sky is getting clearer and deeper now, and you – more beautiful and harmonious in it…
