Life Wanders

The path of Avatar is not a straight line. It is a winding path of necessary experiences that lead to enlightenment. Acquiring enlightenment, unlike acquiring knowledge, is not a straightforward trek. Sometimes progress means moving in a direction that is something other than becoming more spiritual.

Religions and cults tend to form around the spiritual high points of the path, and these can trap a person from moving on. Sometimes it is necessary to fall into sin and be excommunicated before further honest progress toward enlightenment can be made. The stumbles teach us compassion and empathy for the world.

Life wanders. It stops to explore. It falls down and then gets up and brushes itself off. That Avatar understands this is one of its great strengths.
