Where's the key? (or... where's the beef?)

Everyone holds the key in their own hand. The trick is to stop hunting among everyone else for it, while telling 'em how key-less they really are ;-).

The key is literally in the reader's hand, waiting to not be in everyone else's. That's all.
 
I keep my keys in a bowl not far from my door. That way, they're always in the same place, and I never have to search far to find them.

:D

Oh, and I checked my hand: there were literally no keys in them.
 
Davers:
we do all have a 'Key', but to assume there is only one Key, gate or door, one entrance and house or hall is limiting...
;-)

... there are multiple Keys of varying senses - i believe.
the first and most accessible, yet important Key is the one into ourselves, which i also believe is one we carry from birth, and that to me is - acceptance of ourselves - acceptance of what we see in others as a part of ourselves - recognition of what it is in us as individuals that others see in their-selves.

from here, done honestly our potentials are exposed, as well as our weaknesses...now, what to do next?!?
haha
 
I agree, entirely. With every word you've said in fact. However, I do disagree with OP's definition of 'literally' though. Picking at nits, poking a bit of fun, you know.

That's a good starting point... keep noticing your hands are empty ;-). Then notice how they're not gripping onto much of anything lately, and usually don't need to, cuz everything is cool.

What people don't know, won't hurt them. This should be a triumphant statement that ends most suffering, but for some reason it isn't looked at that way. IMO -- if you're tired of hurting, drop the search for knowledge. By the time whatever it is shows up in the here and now, you'll know exactly what it is and how to deal with it. With a clear head. Confidently. Decisively.

Or find out as much as you can about it, get confused, hope it won't ever show up, be afraid it might, prepare as much as possible, and when it arrives, hope you can forget enough of what you know to be able to deal with what actually happens.

Whoever said knowledge is power must have meant "it makes you feel powerful". I'm not convinced even of that. Makes people feel something familiar. Repetitive. Done over and over and over, so many times. Meep-meep... ding. Click/tick. Click/tick Click/tick, click/tick. "Stop pushing my buttons!" OK, OK, as long as I don't have to hook you up and then plug u in. Do you cycle well on the extra large size dishes? =D.

^^ IMO, that's what knowledge ultimately does to people... because life is unpredictable and ever changing. Knowledge is predictable and never changes. It's not "life as we don't know it" at all.

Peace...
