The Uncompromising Path

Friend, if nothing changes, you come up short.

Each moment of your life—something cosmically scarce—passes You by.
You act as if there will always be another. As if Time is generous.

You wear masks. Masks you mistake for Your Face.
You parrot the opinions of others—others who would betray you the moment You cost them.

You do this—and still, you wonder why your life doesn’t sate.

You crave Life.
You crave Authenticity.

And Authenticity demands Self-Knowledge.

The Authentic Man is rare.
Many claim Self-Knowledge.
But pay attention to their dissonance & contradiction.

Self-Knowledge requires Stillness
And Stillness can only be found with the inquisition & purging of the external and internal.

So friend, you must undergo a Voluntary Descent.
Culminating in Your Sovereign Ascent.
And then, most importantly, You must Return to the Marketplace.

This is the Uncompromising Path.

Distraction is Addiction.
Physical.
Psychological.
Spiritual.

At the core of Addiction is Misunderstanding.
We try to find a refuge in a prison.

“Which distractions must I cull?” you ask.

All of them.
This is the Uncompromising Path.


Try to cut but one. And notice that what is left swells to fill the void.
Try to cut all but one. And notice that what is left swells to fill the void.
The nature of Distraction.

“But The Culling is Ruthless” you say. “It is not a Gentle Refinement.”
Yes, there is Pain on the Uncompromising Path.
And there is Pain on all paths.

“How to cut addiction?” You ask.
How to do anything. Doing.

You expect a step-by-step guide?
We are too complicated for that.

“I have failed” you say.
Yes, Progress is not linear.
We are but men.

So you will fail.
But you will continue.
Because You are on the Uncompromising Path.

End only once no Distraction is left.
And there the true path begins.
