What is The Path?

Clarity is an evolutionary inevitability. The Path takes us there.

Confusion vs. Clarity

There comes a time when we are fed up with living in confusion. The Path is that which transports us from the state of confusion to the state of total clarity – confusion or clarity about who we really are, where we come from, where we're going, and how our minds and bodies function. Confusion produces conflict and pain, whereas clarity produces purpose, meaning, fulfillment, and peace. It's obvious which we prefer.

Confusion is a habit that must be broken – a habit that suggests that our lives and our shared experience are fundamentally flawed or inherently meaningless. Sometimes we introduce "hope" as a method for coping with our subliminal confusion habit – hope that there's a better place somewhere else or that we might become rich and famous and not have to endure the hardships that our lives seem to be composed of.

No fear, but no hope either.

The clarity that The Path produces is experiential and visceral. There's no denying it, and therefore, as we venture more deeply along The Path, we realize there's no need for either hope or fear. Confusion is blown away in an instant by the emergence of clarity. In clarity, we can really begin to live our lives.

It's important to think of The Path not only as a road to travel, but also as a literal substance. That is, we can't really say we are walking The Path unless there are certain qualities present within our hearts and minds while we are "traveling". The more that we fill our hearts and minds with these qualities, the more quickly and consistently can we begin to inhabit clarity. These qualities, these substances which literally compose The Path, are traditionally known as the Three Principle Aspects.
