Traveling without a Destination

There is no beginning
There will never be an end
It is as it always has been
 and always will be

Those who follow a path will never attain liberation. How can you be free if you walk the path that has been traveled? One needs only to step off the path, to look out unto the wilderness and see that is where the eternal lies. Following is mindless - going out alone is divinity. Carve the path until your skin dries and your bones become weak. Only then shall you find a comfortable place to rest your head. Travel without an end in mind, seek no destination. The paths drawn out before you will end. If you follow a path to its end, you will find it leads only to your predecessors' remains. Then what shall you do? You will be lost and confused, without further guidance. You will stand before the open wilderness, and you will find that there was never anything to achieve.

There is no enlightenment to be found.
There can be no final liberation.
The only end is the end that you chose.

Give up. Start anew. Step off the path and see the horizon. Though you may follow it, it will never come. Walk freely and find the answers on your own. Belief is limitation. Knowing can never be known. To be human is to be infinite and limitless. If everything could be summed up in one answer, what would be the point of living? Give in to the infinite that is within you. Then you shall be all that you can be. You are limited only by the end that you seek. One who has attained some measure of liberation knows that there was nothing to find after all. There is great bliss in losing your way. Do not follow the paths that lead to confusion, for they only end where you must start. What you are meant to find is what you will find. Who you are meant to be is who you will become. There is no point in doing as another has done. The one way is that which leads to the all.

Be infinite, be pure. There is nothing to be found out, so do not seek it. Impermanence is perfection. Loss is godliness. Everything comes to an end, and so everything is divine. Live freely and you will find that you lived well. The mysterious cannot be known, only witnessed. In witnessing you shall find abundance.
