   The illusion of choice - aka "free will" - comes with the   
   illusion of responsibility and, thus the illusion guilt.   
      
   Also, our stories about both ourselves and others then   
   to be of illusory beings making illusory choices, who   
   suffer/endure illusory responsibilities, saddled with   
   illusory guilt.   
      
   The absence of the illusion of choice instantly restores   
   the reality.   
      
   The aforementioned stories can be referred to as "drama".   
      
   And that's all the seeming world is, hence "the world is   
   a stage".   
      
   There's what could be modeled as a "place" (but don't get   
   suckered into believing it *is* a place...) free of the   
   stage and the drama thereupon.   
      
   It's from whence the illusion of the stage/drama seemingly   
   emerges.   
      
   The raw underlying awareness - which, without reason or   
   rhyme, it promotes to being reality.   
      
   And here we seemingly are.   
      
   Becoming fit for the world has the nasty side-effect of   
   becoming unfit for peace.   
      
   And the unfit train their successors - aka children -   
   to be fit for the world.   
      
   Thus does the nightmare - said to be a dream that life   
   (i.e. of a free-willed being in a world) is but -   
   perpetuate.   
      
   It's not so much that the truth can't be said, as   
   it can't be received by peoples clinging to private   
   definitions/meanings of words/symbols.   
      
   The thought "How will I remember these things?" comes   
   to mind.   
      
   It's as easy as "practice makes perfect", keeping   
   in mind that practicing other thoughts - especially   
   those antithetical to what is currently desired to be   
   remembered - will play a weed role, choking away the   
   currently desired.   
      
   But how to solve the problem of the ennui generated by   
   perpetual sameness?   
      
   Couch the same in different words/symbols?   
      
   No! The answer, as always, is to abide/rest/remain beneath   
   the words/symbols layer in Awareness itself!   
      
   ("And Bingo was his name, oh!")   
      
   Investing in the "individual experiencing a world" illusion   
   is real-ize-ing it, i.e. making it seemingly real.
