I Shall Dispense with Ambiguities
In posts more relevant to myself and my life, I will attempt to provide a clearer message that limits the ambiguity of my writing. This is in response to a recent incident that had occurred with me as a reader.
As a gesture towards this, I will attempt to explain the Buddhist proverb I had posted earlier in the form of a Bazooka Joe comic. The aasiest way to unravel its meaning is to begin with the carkeys.
The carkeys represent the ability for a person to move forward in their lives, and their absence, consequently, indicates that the person cannot proceed. The keys are inside the house, indicating a person should search introspectively for what will enable them to move forward, rather than search outside themselves where there is no answer.
More abstractly, people often look at themselves through the eyes of others because it is easier (hence the light is better). The real way to progress as a person, however, is to be able to begin inside and then move outwards. We should not be defined by our relationships with others and drift through life passively. We should acquire a sense of purpose and direction through understanding ourselves and only live actively. We can then finally find the carkeys and leave the house, and be onto our next destination in life.

I will also attempt to explain my more recent figurative posts as well.
The Castle in the Sky was an introspective attempt at describing myself in writing.
The Flicker at Night post refers to an entrancing glimmer I have seen. The circus in the desert is an anomaly, as is obvious I would imagine, but it represents something unique and beautiful in a rather squalid environment. The flicker at night is my invitation to this world, as it can only be found by this candlelight. The woman is the human character in the story, and provides some grounding to this enchanted ambiance. The glimmer I see is in people, or is provided by people, and it gives me a certain insight into them that is both strange and beautiful. It is something I cannot find unless they show me, and it is a flicker I do not imagine will be there forever for me to find.
Such is my attempt.
