directions, having the desire to depart

What do you seek to gain by pretending to be another you are not? Do you think that by replicating all they do you become something greater than you are? A mimicked form of a king is still a pauper. And that analogy one step further, you aren't even mimicking the King, but rather jesters garbed in populous robes. Those mimicked ones followed their own visions and were rewarded for their path-following. They have failed you all in leading you to believe that somehow it was the path that was important rather than the following of their individualized walk. It is a test for you, a test you are currently failing. And that test requires you to stop just stop and listen really listen and find out where that voice is coming from and what it is saying. And when your eyes begin to adjust to that light in the darkness you can step out of the shadows and be yourself rather than some other. And when you do only then will you find yourself being like them in having followed that road your road all the way to its end.
