We ourselves are the lock to awakening's treasure chest. Imagine two different keys needed to open this lock, each held by its guardian, each keeping the other in check.
One key is heart's unique longing, a yearning that's not ours, that's from awakening itself.
Another key is disinterest, mind detached from any outcome.
Dispassionate, it helps avoid claiming this longing as our own.
Meanwhile true heart's longing keeps us from becoming too distant, losing touch with spirit's living current.
The cold steel and fiery heat of these keys combine.
A new tool's forged that heart/mind wields.
It becomes indispensable for transitional self.
It becomes vital for awakening's work becoming conscious.
