People are kept in line in society because they fear punishment. The assumption that underlies this mentality is that a human being will follow their desires without mitigation.

Only alone can you go into eternity. Only alone can you feel the transcendental light. It is not a shared experience because if it is shared, you are down in duality.

Dissolution means envelopment in Eternity.

A person with power has control of their emotions. A person with power can stop fear, stop depression, or they can augment a positive emotion.

Without innocence, nothing can further, as they say in the I Ching.

You need to search your awareness and consider the limitless possibilities of existence in all things and not be so narrow-minded in your self-discovery.

I would encourage you to follow the pathway to enlightenment, to learn to meditate, to practice mindfulness, and not to really care what anybody thinks about you, including yourself.
