The Cage Door Does Not Exist
“THE CAGE DOOR DOES NOT EXIST”
“Through millions of years of evolution, nature has caged you within certain boundaries—-this is the human predicament. But this imprisonment is only on the level of biology.
On the level of human consciousness, you are like a bird in a cage without a door. What a tragic irony! It is only out of long aeons of habit that you are refusing to fly free.
Life has left everything open for you. Existence has not blocked anything for anyone. If you are willing, you can access the whole universe. Someone said, "Knock and it shall open." You don't even have to knock, because there is no door.
It is open. You just have to walk through, that's all.
This is the sole purpose of the spiritual process. The life and work of every spiritual guide, across history and across culture, has been just this: to point out that the cage door does not exist. Whether you fly or choose to remain in the limitations of the cage-let that be a conscious choice.”
