go forth in order to go within

avraham is the first ever documented householder/mystic.

yes, this is what i hear when i am sitting with my ocean. lekh lekha. even knowing no hebrew, just the look of this string of transliteration radiates a commanding presence, immediacy and, above all, the pure feeling that this is the right thing to do, no other. go forth? to where? get out of here? why? is avram out of his mind? you bet he is. is it the right thing to do? absolutely. until he gets out of his mind that is cluttered with generations worth of habits, conditioning, culture, traditions, beliefs, concepts, notions and their extended family avram can't get to the place within him that is beyond all this, all this, and all this. and so it is he goes, leaving the outer home, so that he can return to the home within, from where he can say, here i am, when called upon wherever he happens to pitch his tent and walks with god. aaahhh, if avram didn't go forth, he couldn't go within. aaahhh, avram is not an exception, he is an example. aaahhh, no wonder i feel so connected with avram. i love avram, and i love my inner avram.
