David talks about the desire to go home and the journey to enlightenment. He tells us that just when we get comfortable in the world the floor will fall out and we will feel like we're falling. He encourages us not to be discouraged. It's just a transition into something that's very stable and very strong. We have to learn to trust in the falling and know that it is for our good.
