Is there something benevolent beneath all of existence? That’s an age-old question, and I believe the answer is yes.
The follow-up question is: does this “something” demand toil and tribute, sacrifice and righteousness?
I believe the answer is no. I believe that because existence is benevolent by default, we can consciously harmonize with its positivity or simply relax into emptiness or apathy (the idea behind meditation) and allow the positivity to flow into and through us.
We can also choose to be negative, but in my opinion, this doesn’t make us regress. It simply holds us in place against the flow of benevolence. Hopefully, we don’t get tired of trying to go upstream, but in the end it doesn’t really matter—we eventually die and are absorbed back into existence.
So in my view, death is a pleasant transition in some cases, a relief in others.

Awesome! In all honesty, I was still into the idea that a price needed to be paid when I wrote Echo 4. But I was working my way out of it.

I will contend that there is a price to be paid. It’s just that price is not some sort of hurtful, draining cost to your being. In fact, following your line of thought, the price is something that we are quite likely to be happy to pay to achieve that harmony. Everything takes effort (a cost), but the effort isn’t necessarily something that hurts to make.

Exactly. And sometimes the greatest “price” is just being happy.
