which is better- The journey, or the reaching of the goal? (ritual, Creator)

[Willamena]

"Now," whether now is the journey or the goal accomplished.

When you are living in full awareness of your tiny place within reality there is no greater feeling. The neatest part contrary to many schools of thought is that the individual still exists pretty much as they were during the journey however at this point one radiates like a new star as you accept your role as a co-creator of reality.

It is like "god" or whatever you need to call "it" formed the Lego blocks of reality and we are a special kind of Lego block that forms new things from the raw (Lego pieces)materials we find all around regardless of where we find ourselves. So the biggest reward is understanding that we ourselves are co-creators and if that isn't empowering enough for folks well... I don't know what to say.

Now, only you could bring Lego, 3 dimensions, and the fact that we are co-creators into this Paul.............

The only thing that worrieds me is that if I am a co-creator, my, do I need new templates.

I find that each time I reach a goal or a destination, I'm eager to get somewhere else. I love the journey. I don't know if I'n constantly trying to find something or always trying to get away. In any case, I always take myself with me. That might be the problem.

This can apply to any aspect of life; what and why do you believe which is better?

It depends on what the goal is, how you are travelling there, and what standard you are measuring by when you say "better".

I think that which is better probably varies from goal to goal, and path to path.

in anything a holiday or life the journey is far more exciting. the goal is never as good as you expect

Depends on teh goal. The "goal" of life is death, so the journey is better. The goal of bootcamp is to become a sniper, so the goal is better than the journey.
