Ten ways up the same mountain. Choose a path to walk its core teaching, its practices, its texts, and the voices that carried it.
You are not a wave seeking the ocean — you are the ocean mistaking itself for a wave.

Some things are up to us and some are not; freedom is knowing the difference and living from it.
