Emerging from "The Cave"

Over the course of one's life we will at one time or another discover that we too have been in an a dank dark place similar to Plato's Allegory of the Cave. A place not so far away from a reality that had we only freed ourselves and taken a few steps, we might have been able to experience it earlier. Sometimes we are not ready to be exposed to a new level of reality, sometimes we need to be lead to the reality, and sometimes we may want to retreat back to the "cave" where all we ever knew and understood is still there waiting for us.

We must approach life with an open mind, seek out mentors that can help us discover new levels of reality and understand that exposure to higher levels of understanding may not feel totally comfortable in the short term, but will become our reality over time and prepare us new life discoveries.

You have certainly captured the gist of Plato's cave allegory here. Keep up the good work in your blog!
