A little piece of motivation




"He sensed in him his opposite, his complement; He would have liked to adopt, lead, enlighten, strengthen and bring him to bloom" - Hesse (1930), Narziss und Goldmund

It is in the joy of bringing an individual to come into being. To witness this is remarkable. It is from your own individualism, knowledge and passion that you scaffold the individual in question. To guide and not to command, allowing them to plan, construct and apply. Provide them with the foundations of being. A life that is worth living is a life that takes in experiences, indulges in the self-betterment and is not afraid of expressing and sharing with the world what they have learned. That sharing is an accomplishment. The problem is, what happens to an individual when all they have known, their mentor and compliment is taken away or removed from their lives abruptly. It is in my opinion that the individual must reach into themselves and apply all the foundations they have to proceed with the taking in of knowledge and life. As Crowley once said "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law".This eternal quest must not be abandoned and one must strive to keep at it no matter how incomplete or lost, one feels with out the guiding hand of a mentor. This loss and coping with it, allows the individual to come into being, again. It is in true will and perseverance that the mentor that they still seek for will return to them, either within themselves, the physical return of the mentor or in things/objects, inspirations and muses. In realizing all of this i find solace in my true will, in my desire for knowledge, in my respective duties to my purpose.
"Love is the law, Love under will" - Crowley, The Book of Law.
