Here I am.

Was I not just here? On my back looking down. Up above where it can not be reached. Within arms grasp, only able to escape. Temporarily.

Knowledge is fleeting. You know only to know; learn to prove you've learnt. Wisdom is unending. The understanding of an ideal. If that is possible, why continue to ask questions. Wisdom is the divine illusion, a medium to prove that the way can be found. Those of us that get so close to truth give hope to others lost in darkness. Clinging bodies hold us down. Where is the glory in ascending alone? Like a friendless life, a life lived for naught.

Patience. The hardest facet of vitality.

They will not fix you, they can not.

To take all pain to fix others. Pain from different sources balled into one. Can it be sorted out? Must it all be dealt with; is there order; is all chaos? Yes, "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

Nothing is new. To become cleansed is strenuous. Do not dirty yourself with the hopes of a bath later for that is foolishness. Instead do everything in your power to remain clean.

The escape into solitary thoughts is not for the faint. It causes much sorrow and remorse, which grows anger; poison. Now stand up, remain standing. The world is underneath you. Even on your back, the world is underneath you. If one should fall, are they covered by the Earth, no. It is always you who covers the earth. Hands may help you up, but in the dark corners of the world, the ability to get up is crucial, the ability to remain standing is necessary. To show a momentary weakness is to doom oneself to an age of pain. Therefore wear armor, carry a weapon, learn from the stars; they WILL guide you. In all this, a companion is helpful. But, there are places where companions can not go, and it is then that your wisdom will become knowledge.

"Be without fear in the face of your enemies" for they can not harm you.
"Speak the truth, always even if it leads to your death," for truth is an aura of protection.
"Be upright and true, so that God may love thee."
"Safeguard the helpless," for one day, you will need help. "...and do no wrong," for balance is the key to this world and the world provides sufficient wrongdoing."

"That is," all our oaths.
