A warrior starts off with the certainty that his spirit is off balance; then by living in full control and awareness, but without hurry or compulsion, he does his ultimate best to gain this balance. In our case, as in the case of every man, our imbalance is due to the sum total of all our actions. We are luminous beings. We are perceivers. We are an awareness; we are not objects; we have no solidity. We are boundless. The world of objects and solidity is a way of making our passage on earth convenient. It is only a description that was created to help us. We, or rather our reason , forget that the description is only a description and thus we entrap the totality of ourselves in a vicious circle from which we rarely emerge in our lifetime. We are perceivers. The world that we perceive, though, was created by a description that was told to us since the moment we were born. Now its time to talk about the totality of oneself. We, generally, function at the center of reason exclusively, regardless of who we are or where we come from. Reason can naturally account in one way or another for everything that happens within its view of the world. Men of Knowledge have learned after generations to account in their views for everything that is accountable about them. I would say that men of Knowledge, by using their will , have succeeded in enlarging their views of the world. Some though are not men of knowledge. They never brake the bounds of their enormous views and thus never arrive at the totality of themselves. What matters is not to learn a new description but to arrive at the totality of oneself. Men of Knowledge say that we are inside a bubble. It is a bubble into which we are placed at the moment of our birth. At first the bubble is open, but then it begins to close until it has sealed us in. That bubble is our perception. We live inside that bubble all of our lives. And what we witness on its round walls is our own reflection. If what we witness on the walls is our own reflection, then the thing thats being reflected must be the real thing. The thing reflected is our view of the world. That view is first a description, which is given to us from the moment of our birth until all our attention is caught by it and the description becomes a view. The teachers task is to rearrange the view, to prepare the luminous being for the time when the spirit opens the bubble. The bubble is opened in order to allow the luminous being a view of his totality. Naturally this business of calling it a bubble is only a way of talking, but in this case it is an accurate way. When we die, we die with the totality of ourselves. A man of Knowledge asks the question. If were going to die with the totality of ourselves, why not, then, live with that totality?
