Mysteries drive us all...

"Mysteries drive us all. We only glimpse their veiled faces, but their power pushes us onward, toward darkness. Or into the light." - Salman Rushdie, Fury

Where we allow the mysteries of ourselves to push us is up to us, and only to us. First we must become aware of the forces within ourselves that drive us, then we must gain a comprehensive understanding of them, and finally -- we must choose how we will be pushed around - to dark or to light, to good or to evil, to happiness or sorrow. And then, after all of this work has been done there is still more. We must forever be vigilant that we do not lost sight of the knowledge we've gained about our inner most workings. We must not allow the mysteries that drive us to slip back beneath their veiled faces too deeply. This power within us is always working within us whether we are paying attention to it, or not.
