Fire.... The Familiar Mystery


"What did I tell you is the one thing that makes human
beings as unique among all life?”
“Fire.  We have the ability to make and use and control Fire.”
"Yeah. You hear these guys with all the capital letters after their names talking about how we humans have choice and free will and all that?  Boil it down, make it simple, you end up at the Fire. Humans Beings were given the ability to choose how to use and control Fire; to create with it and destroy with it.  That goes for the Fire inside us, too.  What kinda thoughts do we feed
to the Fire inside us; that tells us who we are, how we choose? The fire is always there, wherever.  Light a
match, you don’t begin it, you awaken it. Bad thoughts are like a match, you awaken the Destroyer in you. Like that."
