The Fine Art of Non-imposition

For the most part, I still believe pretty much the same things I believed before the “revelation” in the Montana wilderness that caused me to turn myself in. The one main difference is – and this is a big difference – that I no longer believe that I have the “right” to impose what I believe onto other people.
Every critical decision, and most lesser ones, that I have made, since the revalation, has been in accord with this simple realization. Including my decisions to bring Shasta home, allow myself to be arrested, cooperate with the authorities (prosecution and defense lawyers), to not speak to media (and write a blog instead, so the truth as I see it would be freely available instead of packaged and sold), and to not resist, attempt to influence, or appeal, societies decisions in my regard.
I spent the whole first part of my life believing the lie that I needed to change people to my way of thinking in order to make the world (any world) a better place. After the “revelation” I saw that this was as far from true as night is from day (which is an analogy with deliberate innuendoes concerning the fact that night and day can only be properly observed by someone standing on the surface of a revolving world). The world can only change, and is changing, according to the will and intentions of infinity. There is nothing I can do as a limited being that will ever cause the world to change any differently.
But, I also came to realize that my limited self has an infinite counterpart that is very much capable of changing the world. And, as I have just stated a moment ago, already is! I do not need to make a conscious effort to improve the world. All I need do is have faith that it is already being improved. I will then do whatever needs to be done without thought or effort. Joseph Campbell calls this, “following your bliss”. The hippies called it, “believing in Him”. I have called it, “listening to your intuition”, but it can also be simply stated as, “letting go (and letting God)”. Whatever you call it, it is a delicate balancing act that can be (and fortunately is) maintained only by ridding oneself of worldly fear, which is not easy to do, until you have done it, then it is the easiest thing in the world. “An easy yoke to bear”, as the most famous man in all of history is purported to have once said.
