If we seek our fulfillment in complexity we are likely to get entangled in duplicity and complicity of techniques for fulfillment and miss the elegant satisfaction which may be realized through utter simplicity. When we are searching for means to attain our fulfillment we are unlikely to enjoy it in letting go of all we can possess and control. If we strive for satisfaction in fullness we are unlikely to enjoy it in emptying ourselves of that which we would keen in order to be full. As we are seeking to become acceptable through self- control we can not enjoy the acceptance of being accepted unconditionally when we are not fully in control of what we do because we are responsive to what others are needing and doing. If we seek ecstasy through being complete in the ownership of all desirable things we can not enjoy life for the clutter of unimportant possessions which must be kept out of fear of not being complete. When we are seeking salvation in what we must do and must not do, we are not free to find it in doing what we feel like doing in open and honest dialogue with others. Whenever we try to achieve redemption in being uniquely qualified for it we lose the redemption of unity with others who are like us. If we believe our salvation lies in accumulating all truths because they are all important we will have neither the time nor inclination to discover the essential truth that some truths are more relevant to salvation than are others. Our techniques for achieving salvation are often what stands between us and salvation just as our determination to achieve salvation on our own is the root of our need for salvation. We can not be satisfied with what we really are while we believe that we must achieve salvation by knowing what we must become to be saved. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
