Q: As I have found myself becoming more connected with The Way I feel I am beginning to notice how people who are in tune with The Way are not hard to recognize. I’m not sure how possible this is, but I feel like I am beginning to see the relations between other people and The Way. I encounter a lot of people who seem to be wayseers, but have not yet awakened to The Way. Is there any way to aid these future wayseers in finding The Way? What would be the best approach?
Garret’s Answer: Thanks for reaching out. With regards to the “10%”… In nature, what is the ideal mutation rate for natural selection to work and evolution to progress? If it were 100%, then devolution would occur – entire populations of organisms would go into chaotic mutation one generation. Even 50% might be much too much. 10-20% mutation rate might be ideal for there to be fundamental stability with each generation, while 10-20% of that population mutates allowing for new …

Ha ha! Always funny to stumble across something from another life. I still prefer to suffer.
Yes, we are driven straight into suffering because boredom, in fact, is a direct gateway into the Void of Nonexistence.

We need suffering to ‘get rid’ of baggage, ‘old wifes tales’, worn-out beliefs, fears and society ‘tags’, because it only stifles nidividual growth and development – suffering is merely the effort it takes to crawl through the small opening/hole in the cocoon of boredom, which inhibits us. In retrospect suffering lasts only a moment compared to the reward of living life fully and times in which we can literally spread our creative wings and fly freely!
I heard something in a movie once…’your life, comedy or tragedy? It’s your choice.’
it stuck with me, I even wrote a children’s story about it.
These fundamental choices are the ones that will effect a lifetime and if we can let kids know that they actually HAVE these choices then they can potentially change a generation….
You know I really don’t think we NEED suffering to learn anymore…
thats a choice to, albeit sometimes a tough one too make when the programming for suffering is so strong.
I choose daily to learn and grow through JOY!
it’s working so far.
