Life's odyssey - Julius Fann, Jr
Does my complicated odyssey end should I go deep enough within myself to open the door of my inner Conscience, then find a way to step into my soul?
Or does stepping into my soul reveal all mask personalities I do, or do not wear and exhibit since I became a living soul?
Or does the truth of my odyssey begin when I touch that which I was before I became a living soul?
Never give power to anything a person believes is their source of strength - jufa

What's complicated about it? Lots of people suffer, go through trials, have pain, misfortune, etc. In fact, that's pretty much par for the course.
What makes you so special? Could it perhaps be, ego ie. childish delusion? Sure, perhaps your existence, out of the billions and billions before you is somehow set apart, not in your own mind, but by pure fate. So what? What are you going to do with it? What do you want? Surely you don't expect others to bow to your whim and will because of such a possibility. Do you?
I like your poetic style, but unless you describe this inner progression in at least minimal detail and elaborate on "complicated odyssey" the reader is left with nothing but style.
Odyssey complications is learning how to keep moving in the high and low of one's situations, circumstances of the walk of life. - jufa
Im not familiar with the specific language you use in your post, But the general direction of all our paths, Odysseys, is towards self awareness. Self-awareness shows us how we are, I dont know how deep it goes.
"IN THE OLD DAYS THE STORY WAS TOLD AS THIS, ---WOD, THE WILD HUNTSMAN---
The hounds of the wind often howl on a dark night over the moors, within the woods, or beside a crossroads. Country folk know that the leader of the sky-dogs is Wod and they pity the poor traveler who has not yet reached his home, for Wod is often malicious and seldom kind. The wild huntsman spares only those who keep to the middle of their path. He thus often calls out to travelers, "In the middle of the way!" - jufa
Why do you ask? If someone would answer, would that help you?
[quote=Krishnamurti]Because I am free, unconditioned, wholenot the part, not the relative, but the whole Truth that is eternalI desire those, who seek to understand me to be free; not to follow me, not to make out of me a cage which will become a religion, a sect. Rather should they be free from all fearsfrom the fear of religion, from the fear of salvation, from the fear of spirituality, from the fear of love, from the fear of death, from the fear of life itself. As an artist paints a picture because he takes delight in that painting, because it is his self-expression, his glory, his well-being, so I do this and not because I want anything from anyone. You are accustomed to authority, or to the atmosphere of authority, which you think will lead you to spirituality. You think and hope that another can, by his extraordinary powersa miracletransport you to this realm of eternal freedom which is Happiness. Your whole outlook on life is based on that authority.

Everything in an individual's life constitutes their truth - [You have presented Krishnamurti truth, not yours] It is a truth that each individual person has shaped, lives, and instills in their children. When I refer to their children, I am not speaking of those born of physical intercourse.
Man's true offspring are his thoughts. Not a single second passes in the continuum of life without him being both the birth mother and father to his thoughts. Thoughts are the true offspring of mankind, and the decisions, the by-products of what one has assimilated, adhered to, and chosen to guide oneself, shape the nurturing of these thought offspring. These nurturing dictates who a person becomes, the nature of their life, and the manner in which they interact with and are influenced by their thoughts as they venture out, find their place, and return bearing the fruits and weights of their upbringing and their acceptance of it.
Everything that occurs in a person's life unfolds according to the Principles and Patterns of Consciousness's intention and purpose. Whether one believes in or comprehends the Principle and Pattern of Consciousness, it is certain that all Consciousness can offer to humanity, or an individual, is to bestow upon each what is sought through words, actions, and thoughtswhole, perfect, complete, and purebecause it is the law of the Spirit of life of the Principle and Pattern of infinity, extending into infinity..
All the smartness, arrogance, and self-righteousness a person exhibits towards themselves, and others are their just deserts. These rewards manifest in all forms perceived as good and evil. So, when one asks, "Why me?" the answer is, "Why not you?" You have set your circumstances, conditions, and situations in motion according to the intent of the thoughts you conceived and nurtured. They cannot return to you empty; they are your reality. No one escapes the consequences of their actions in this world; it always returns to complete its cycle. And since the physical realm is connected to one's thoughts and interpretations, including physical children, family, friends, and loved ones, they too are impacted in your conscious world of thought. This is why it is said to be careful with your words and actions, for the magnitude and intent of what you set in motion will return after many days, whole, perfect, complete, and pure, without discrimination in your conscious world of thoughts.
