There is one hero with many faces, and one quest with many patterns. Glory is not the answer, neither is wealth or fame. These are the undoings of the People and the undoings of heroes. Be beyond wants and limited in your needs. The true hero is a silent force, and good things spread outward from the hero in the pattern of time like ripples upon a pond.

Choose carefully from amongst paths, and from prophets, and from books of holy revelation. Burn any book, and you have bound yourselves up. Take not one view, but a million. Take not a million views, but rather no view at all. He or she that understands this has entered into the Kingdom of God.

This is not the whole of the Way. This is not even a part of the Way. This is a finger, pointing at the Moon.
The finger also points at you.

Mark well what is in the hero, and work to hear or read all the hero’s tales. There is one hero with many faces, and one quest with many patterns. Glory is not the answer, neither is wealth or fame. These are the undoings of the People and the undoings of heroes. Be beyond wants and limited in your needs. The true hero is a silent force, and good things spread outward from the hero in the pattern of time like ripples upon a pond.

Choose carefully from amongst paths, and from prophets, and from books of holy revelation. Burn any book, and you have bound yourselves up. Take not one view, but a million. Take not a million views, but rather no view at all. He or she that understands this has entered into the Kingdom of God.

This is not the whole of the Way. This is not even a part of the Way. This is a finger, pointing at the Moon.
The finger also points at you.
