Define your path. There is not one path but infinite paths or experiences over top of awareness. If your goal is to lose all the stories or filters over top of that awareness then there was no point in being here. It would be like going to a show only to be looking for the exit throughout the experience.
Survival and struggle is part of the game of polarity and man isn't the only being that experiences it. All of the animal kingdom does as well. If you examine the microcosm to the macrocosm you will see creation and destruction cycling in the polar circuit.
