Enlightened

i wake on a golden path and i yell where should i go and i hear from the forest in front of me begin at the begining and stop at the end and you will you will find your home again and i ask when do i know i have begun? and again i hear the voice saying just because you knock doesnt mean they will answer. i walk along the path, i reach the end and all i see is thick forest, i yell there is no path what can i do anyfurther? and the voice says make your own path, i stand and wonder what to do and a tall grey man emerges from the trees and i ask him where i am and where i should go and how to get out but he simply stands there with his long walking stick in one hand and a board in the other and he says play me and i will tell you what you need to know, i agree and he starts to fall back i rush to help him from falling but he lands on a chair seemingly out of nowhere and he says you are a kind man but the more you help the more you punish and as i sumble backwards i trip over a wooden stool and as i look up at him his board has been placed on a table and with pieces to play all set up i right my stool and sit at the table and he says we will play chess and he moves his piece, after quiet a time i am winning but when i seem to have him beat his last move won the game and he says to me you can think ahead all you want but you can never know the futur.and at that he throws his king at me missing my head which falls behind me, i go to pick it up and when i turn back i see that the man is gone.i near a tree but when i go to touch it it burns and i hear the voice the path is the obstical,i continue on my path and as i walk on i pass over many other paths all to overgrown so that i cannot walk on but not so much i cannot pass over i ask why are these paths here and the voice says you are apart of everything you do.i walk on and i see a river i take a mouthful and feel that it is warm i see another river and go it instead but when i get there and take a mouthful it is salty and warm so i return to the first river only to find it bear and the second one also disappeared and i ask why have both rivers dried up and left and the voice says take only what you have, if you leave all for the unknown you may end up with nothing.i continued walking and i saw two rabbits and as i chased them they both got away and the voice said if you chase two rabbits you will not catch ether one.i walk for a time and i said i have come here with many doubts and you have given me the answers and for that i thank you and the voice replied the only knowledge you can find at the top of a mountain is the knowledge you bring with you and the man said i am home and the voice replied no matter where you go or what you do you live in the confines of your head.
