Arrival?

When you think you have arrived.....what's next? If enlightenment (awarenesss)(awakening) is to arrive at the place of seeing, knowing and being in all truth, what comes next? Is it to live this way forever or to strive for a new place of arrival? Is truth better than denial? Some would say it's the only real option and some choose to go back into hiding behind denial. Both paths have their advantages, truth is the only way for the true self to BE but what happens when it turns out to be a lonely place because so many others turn away from it or choose never to enter? Do you turn away also or continue to flow through it? There comes a time when you have to choose how you want to spend the rest of your days, whether it be in truth or denial. There are some people who need the illusions to survive their current state of being but once the heart is ready for change, the eyes and mind begin to open and see reality. The only way to go back then is through self denial. Wow, what a fearful choice, to risk a new state of being or to stay in familiar unhappiness. The choice seems to come quiet often throughout life and hopefully you take the risk more than not. It may be scarry to keep moving forward to unfamiliar grounds but you can rest assured that the familiar place of unhappiness and illusions will always be there waiting for your return. Plus, there will always be familiar faces still waiting for there IF you chooose the path of return.
