If I forget myself in action, could anything that I say or do matter? If I move ahead without hesitation, could anything that I think or feel matter? If I move forward without any purpose in mind, could anything that I gain or keep matter? If I follow my bliss and go with the flow, could anything that I have matter?
Or must I always be aware of what I'm saying, of what I'm doing, of what I'm thinking or feeling, of gaining or keeping, of having or discarding? If I am always and forever in a process of being and becoming, in a process that satisfies my every need and fulfills my every desire, what could possibly matter?
One response might be that no one need can always and forever be satisfied and that no one desire can always and forever be fulfilled. Also, if I satisfy one need, another looms large; if I fulfill one desire, another rises to takes it place. But if I already know that more needs and desires present themselves even as I satisfy more of my needs and fulfill more of my desires, what is to stop me from wisely crafting my very own process for being and becoming? What would stop me from crafting a process of being and becoming that would satisfy any and all needs and fulfill any and all desires, even as they present themselves?
The key to crafting such a process lies in bringing the substance, structure, and orientation of my life into harmony with the centrality of purpose, keeping in mind (at least at the beginning) that harmony between the substance of soul and the orientation of spirit requires a stable and happy marriage between structure and purpose.
Structure determines behavior. Purpose unifies destiny. The time has come to cultivate Ekos Sacred and celebrate Eros Divine.
