We are Human. To be Human is to be limited. In our limitation, we make choices that are unwise or are flawed. If we make unwise choices because of our limitation, we cannot judge others for the same reason. So, we cannot judge, thus we forgive.
We've seen the darkness.
This is why brighten the path for others.
This is why we forgive.
Reminding yourself that you need to get better is perpetuating the narrative of sickness.
Existence is change, inherently, inevitably. Embracing life is embracing change. Things in this world will change without warning. Things we consider safe and stable today will vanish tomorrow.
Accept this as a fact of life.
To love is to lose in equal measure. To lose is to love in turn. Every journey upwards has its regressions downwards.
Fully embracing all that you are is the best way to bring this about, for you can be present to what happens and help it change through your intent.
It may sound like a subtle distinction between getting better from sickness and just changing but it's really all the difference. A plant is not sick just because it later grows into a bigger tree. Change is just simply what happens, and it can be recognized and embraced in order to fully, progressively align the self with whatever intent or goal.
Sometimes the things that illuminate come from darkness. They announce themselves as ideas or ideologies; passionate outpouring from a place whose identity is concealed or forgotten. The light of insight is often dim and subtle. It requires us to accept that things are different in other dimensions of reality. That what was true in our past view of reality, may not serve our present view of reality or especially our future view. It involves change. It forces us to be flexible enough to explore new concepts and ideas, because without this flexibility, we tend to retreat from our higher purpose, and assume a lesser role.
One of the things that can assist any person intent on living a love-centered life is to learn to perceive darkness as a source of inspiration that is aligned with purpose. It is not there to block us, or prevent us from being our higher self. We actually need this darker light to integrate our purpose with our “mundane” or ordinary life—the life of grocery shopping, driving the kids to school, commuting to work, making dinner, etc. We understand the sacred and secular as one experience that ebbs and flows in a purposeful rhythm. We are taught flexibility and resilience from this darker light, and for a reason.
I don’t exist
I’m an illusion.
I only exist because I believe I exist.
self Nothing = Nothing
self x = operate x >>= self
Why do I believe I exist?
What purpose does
my belief in my existence serve?
Am I supposed to figure this out?
