1. You can let in the light by increment. You might not even notice any change. This is amazing incrementalism within mystical wondrous imperceptibility. Yet it continually unfolds. True grace. [‘Within us and without us’, I could say]. Persistence, as always, pays many dividends. One positive thought at a time can bring you to realize that you’re a spirit, free: free of time, free of worldly ambition, free of causal damnation, free of guilt, free of loathing, nothing to fear, not even death or its accoutrements: what you might imagine — or might have been told to [un]imagine — is to come afterwards. For this is it! Spirit! What is us is wave and particle of light, in curious occupation of a series of very temporary abodes in a variety of physical avatars. There is not even time enough for dissatisfaction with a particular avatar, if we only knew. And we can know: incrementally. We should all be looking for ways to be positive, for ways to truly help, to advance the kingdom that is truly at hand, time obliterate.

Or, exercise that much ballyhooed free will. Continue to fixate on cause and effect. Assign blame for all that goes awry. Accept fault for what may only be the manipulative manifestation of mind of another’s faulty perception. As long as there’s tangible cause and effect, someone at fault, someone to blame.
— Blame, fault and guilt, oh my! –
2. Mentally lather, rinse, repeat this existence until you inhabit a world of demons, always conspiring to bring you down. But it’s the ‘real’ world. In the real world spirit is a concept: a sort of anthropomorphology of sorts. [sic: ‘ism, ism, ism’]. And you are a realist with strong common sense. You don’t let anyone get one over on you. You’re so above concepts. I’m sure that a healthy and sustainable level of mistrust will serve you well. I’m sure you won’t turn on yourself in any noticeable way (that can’t be denied). Cause and effect, you know. It’s all real world cause and effect. Blame, fault and guilt, oh my!. I’m sure that a suitable sacrifice can be found to free you from all this persecution. From all the takers (by default/definition in a zero-sum real world). From consequences of such a firm handle on realism. I’m sure that freedom will be handed out like welfare. (i.e. the generally accepted dogma of grace).
Posthumous postulated post-script of some hours later: of and [pertaining] to the aforementioned recipients of welfare. It is a manifestation signifying nothing. It is a figment from the fig tree of your imagination. And the pseudo history of this day (in the real world) is to curse the fig tree. Feel ballyhooed free to look it up. Try the synoptics.
Note. re: #s 1 & 2 added later. The purpose (of adding the #s 1 & 2) is to more clearly delineate my ‘essay’ into two separate choices, emphasis on the word or. This is for the benefit of those who insist upon seeing everything (possible to see) as binomial – as choices positive versus negative. (The note of clarity for them is that I do advocate choice 1 and argue against [and don’t advocate] choice 2). I hope this clarifying note might help (for clarity’s sake!)
