The sirens - part two

Each of the three planets we travel between is governed by the fourth planet on which greater good is dominant. This magnificent planet is just a bit far out for most travellers. We don’t visit it very often. Nor do we need to if we can control our urges a bit better than we do at present.
This planet is the natural overseer of the other three, and yet, like a true parent, it allows its children-planets to come to terms with their own individual natures, in their own time. But where does that leave us humans?
We’re for ever travelling between false destinations, between these three siren-planets, between competing temptations, never released from going around and around in a circle. We always carry the heavy burden of The Big Problem.
The glimpses we get into solving it seem to involve stepping aside from all the goods and bads of the world of morality (breaking the hold of Planet M) so that we can slip past these worlds, and get to No 4, with all its transcendental, changed-dimensioned thinking.
The magnetic pull of right and wrong drags our spaceship back. So instead we’re being drawn away from the sheer enjoyment factor of Planet Four. We forget the connection between the greater good and sheer enjoyment.
