Hi Stardustpilgrim, Yes I see the point in relation to getting to the next fork. If it is a fork on the road to ending a concern, in my case the concern to end the feeling of disconnection, the fork encountered was which offer of help truly addresses the concern. Is it the left fork which offers a truth, or the right fork which says what is true can never be known? Each pilgrim will have their own reaction. Some will resonate with the left and some the right. For many years I went down the left but found that there was always something discovered that contradicted the truth offered, and even if there was no such discovery, how could I know that one wasn't about to turn up any minute? So I went back and took the right fork and never had to consider that question again because whenever I encountered such a 'truth' fork, I immediately went to the right. For others who went left they may never doubt that they have found the truth offered and not worry at all that it may be shattered any moment. How have the forks you have encountered worked out for you? amit There will always be an unknown. That doesn't mean what's unknown today will necessarily always be unknown. The good is the enemy of the best. What's your good today may be your opposition tomorrow. The journey is not exterior, but interior. (Opposition is interior, not exterior). If you don't know where you're headed, that's where you'll end up.

If you don't know where you're headed, that's where you'll end up. Yes to the first paragraph but would add that once today's unknown becomes known there may be another discovery next week or next year that contradicts it. For me its the truth/reality trap, which often (some say always) leads to conflict. When others question a so called truth the holder tends to defend it to the death, sometimes taking others with them. Transcending having to know the truth did not mean not knowing where I was heading. It just meant that the heading did not have to be known as the truth. It was just a place I resonated with as maybe addressing my concerns. amit
