Look not to holy books;
They are but
commentary.
Look not to elders;
Their wisdom is their
own.
Look not to the natural
world;
It cannot teach you
what you do not know.
Look not to ancient
gods;
They are projected
shadows of ancient fears.
Look not to
philosophers;
At best you find
elegant nothings, at worst, sophistry.
Look not to modern
marvels;
What you seek cannot
be manufactured.
Look not to the faith
of your childhood;
It cannot be but
child's faith.
Look not to your
conscience;
It is the echo of your
teachers.
Look not to your
dreams;
They are the masque of
your unbound mind.
Look not to your
intellect;
You are not trying to
solve a puzzle.
Look not to your
imagination;
Unless your goal is
fantasy.
Look not to your
reason;
It will deceive you
most of all.
Look not to find Truth;
It is nowhere you can
find.
Now tell me: where
shall you look?
