The Need For Insight
The situation is dire and has been so for thousands of years.
Man's ignorance of his true state-of-being is his worst enemy. As long as humanity remains in the dark about the invisible mechanics of this nature-order and the inevitable misery that our constant wrong-thinking and wrong-feeling brings upon us, the archons and aeons of this nature-order will remain in full control. Man will live and die in ignorance, doomed to return again to live and die in ignorance. The Wheel turns endlessly.
"My people are lost for lack of Knowledge".
Occasionally, this writer is asked why doesn't he lighten up? Why so serious, etc. Don't get it wrong, humor has its place, but there is nothing funny about the revelations that await those who truly seek. We are in deep mess, and if too much time is wasted indulging in frivolity we will be in danger of lulling ourselves back to sleep and missing the boat yet again. We are here to find the way out of here! That is our mission! That is the One Goal of Humanity!
It is imperative that - like Dorothy - we "unmask the Wizard"; that the curtain be pulled aside so that man can see how he is utterly, utterly enslaved. It is hoped that when the Seeker gains insight into what earth-"life" is really all about, the discouragement and disillusionment will cut so deeply that the Candidate will cry out for the Liberation, and perhaps begin to look for The Way Out.
If one remains attached to any part of this world, even the so-called "good" parts, one will bind oneself to this nature-order and ensure a return-trip for more of the same. All must be put aside. All must be renounced. No one is saying that is an easy task. It is very, very difficult; primarily because we are so thoroughly a part of this emergency-order of existence and have been for many hundreds of thousands of years.
In order to break our chains, we must first recognize that we are imprisoned. To be free, we must find the Keys to our Salvation.
Tear away the world that has been pulled over your eyes. Renounce the world and all the matter therein.

Forever art thou bound to me,
And in a day,
Or a month,
Or a year,
Or a lifetime,
Or a hundred lifetimes,
Thou shalt know this, even as I know it;
And when thou hast reached this goal,
What shall be a day,
Or a month,
Or a year,
Or a lifetime,
Or a hundred lifetimes?
Time ceaseth for those who come to me.
The quest will be forgotten
When thou hast reached the Goal.
Humour has its place, but is not joy a different thing?
Is not joy the true share of humanity? And yet we prefer or we sometimes choose to "eat from the carob pods the pigs were eating?"
Is not the Path of Life a path of joy also? (with all the discouragement and disillusionment gained with insight being the other side of the coin?)
I think the joy and the "pain of breakage" walk side by side, isn't this right?

(I think the awesome poem posted by the user above is, in a surprising way, also related to this - pain and joy.)
(1) Anonymous - the poem was simple and powerfully elegant. Thanks for posting it.
(2) Alex - earthly Joy and Pain are opposite ends of the same pole. True Joy awaits the one who finds the Key to All Mysteries and makes the voluntary decision to follow the Path of Return, the Path that leads away from everything one has ever known and back towards the Treasury of Light.
Even so, we are advised to always temper our emotions, never getting too high or too low, for either extreme creates a binding with this nature-order. One must endeavor to remain neutral and objective in the face of all natural stimuli.
This does not mean that one must be a heartless robot. If something's funny, laugh. If something's beautiful, acknowledge it's beauty. If something tragic happens, of course we should be compassionate. But do not live for laughter and good times; do not live for the sake of beauty; do not live to wallow in the shock of tragedy. Experience all things, acknowledge all things, but do not allow anything to bind you to this world. This includes love, family, personal desires or ambitions.
This is the advice given to the Candidate on the Path. Objectivity. Neutrality. Non-Conflict. Non-attachment. These are the best defenses against the obstacles that are strewn before him or her.
Peace be with you, my friend.
