The Iron Path

You may walk it, if you choose.

…which are no shortcuts.

Before you take the trouble to work your way through the contents of this website:

The only person who can empower you is yourself.

For this, you must desire knowledge, and you need discipline and trust in your desire to know. This is the only path; there is no shorter one if you wish to return from mere being to becoming.

It is possible to learn how to animate the vision of your own path between open spirituality and gentle rationalism, and to develop it to a level of maturity that restores your independence.

Nothing else can unfold its effect if you are not prepared for it yourself.

Success is always voluntary, yet you must be willing to act for it.

For the right steps, stay here – or feel free to return when you are ready.

What can be said

I've been thinking about it for a while

It often seems as though we no longer exert influence over the forces shaping our lives — but:

Is this truly the case?

I contend — No!

We have already forfeited autonomy on multiple levels, even societally, with recurrent signals depicting us as ill, abnormal, or dysfunctional.

A certain incompetence has indeed emerged — an incapacity to embark upon an independent path through self-reliant effort — yet does this invariably imply incapacity?

Here, too, I maintain: No!

The matter is complex yet not intricate, when one poses the proper questions and ceases heeding responses to unasked queries, responses validated as "salutary" by others — typically the same society purporting to heal us. We appear helpless, reactive, resistant, and unwilling.

The former admits straightforward resolution, for we have simply forgotten how to solicit aid appropriately and coordinate it.

The latter holds without qualification and constitutes the essence of all inquiries.

What do I authentically desire for myself? — What may I desire?

The median realm is the domain wherein we pursue our superior path.

I serve as your affirmative influence and proffer herein the concise route to me — no circumvention — alongside an alliance of experiential knowledge: loyal and impartial.

Have a most agreeable sojourn,

Thomas
