The Hermit -- Dispatch from the Wild Interior

The Hermit: Some would have you believe you need their affirmation to survive. This is a lie. What you need is a light to live by. A beacon of your own creation, fueled by your little eternal spark of the divine. Every other fire is fleeting, a spotlight with someone else’s hand on the switch. Any gauge or guide that can’t be made sacred is propaganda, a lure away from ultimate, interior, transfiguring truth. Away from absolute you.
