"It is the nature of infinity, once we cross a certain threshold, to put a blueprint in front of us.
Soon you will be entering into infinity by the force or your personal power. Once you have entered into infinity, you can't depend on anyone to bring you back.
Your decision is needed then. Only you can decide whether or not to return. I must also warn you that few warrior-travelers survive this type of encounter with infinity. Infinity is enticing beyond belief. A warrior-traveler finds that to return to the world of disorder, compulsion, noise, and pain is a most unappealing affair.
You must know that your decision to stay or to return is not a matter of a reasonable choice, but a matter of intending it.
If you choose not to return, you will disappear as if the earth has swallowed you.
But if you choose to come back, you must tighten your belt and wait like a true warrior-traveler until you task,
whatever it might be, is finished, either in success or in defeat.
Today you are going to fulfill a concrete task,
the last link of a long chain; and you must do it in your utmost mood of reason.
The backbone of a warrior-traveler is humbleness and efficiency,
acting without expecting anything and withstanding anything that lies ahead of him.
We are alone.
That's our condition,
but to die alone is not to die in loneliness."
