I'd like to tell you a story, easyone.
There once was a
boy named Jack whose Mother being in very dire
straits gave him their only
cow to sell at market so they could have
some money to buy food. On the
way to market, Jack met a mysterious
old man in a shining white robe with
twinkling eyes and a long white
beard. "Here, Jack," said the old man.
"Give me your cow and I will
give you a magic bean! With this bean, you
will become rich and
powerful, wealthy beyond belief! Like that, like
that." So Jack
traded the cow for the bean and went home whistling to his
Mother.
When his Mother saw the bean, she flew into a tirade. "You
MORON!
You little PISSANT! What have you DONE?" she cried. "I trusted you
with all our worldly wealth and you gave it away to the first con-
man
you met!" And she took Jack's bean and threw it out the window.
Night
had fallen, and Jack went to bed, hungry and tired and alone
and angry at
the world and heartily ashamed of himself for being
such a complete and
utter fool.
That's the end.
Or at least, that's the part you
keep re-reading over and over.
Maybe you're still holding onto that
magic bean, I don't know. But
if you can just drop it, throw it out the
window, and surrender into
the Dark Night, by morning that bean will have
sprouted to Heaven,
and you can climb it right up into the Heart -- the
world of the
Giants, where untold wealth indeed lies in wait for you.
But you will never never see it if you are still holding onto the
bean and fighting off the Dark Night. If you don't drop it, the bean
won't have a chance to sprout, and you are stuck reading the same
page
of the same boring old story, forever and ever.
Your
choice.
