Meditations and musings

I realize that what I've been writing lately might have no relevance or usefulness for many. After all, it is part of my own personal journey.

Disclaimer note: If you are interested in success, in achievement, at a professional, or social, or financial, or physically esthetic level, there is very little that will be of use for you in the posts I share.

If I've learned anything in my fourty-some years of wearing this suit and nametag is that every experience is unique and different. Different in perspective. Different in approach. Different in needs. Different at all levels, and in all sorts of ways.

Yes we are all interlinked, and yes, there are similarities. Nevertheless, every lived path is unique.

In this incarnated realm, whatever your perspective is, it is so. Whatever your pain is, it is so. Whatever your reality is, it is so.

The ancient spiritual traditions that guide me in my own journey tell me that wherever our deepest suffering and pain is emanating from, is also where the passage to our greatest evolution and transformation is to be found.

These ancient traditions tell us to face and embrace our suffering and pain.

For this to occur, we are encouraged to enter into that dark cave of our worst fears, in order to encounter the source, the essence of this suffering and pain.

In this journey into darkness, we are instructed to arm ourselves with a lit torch. This torch is fueled by love, forgiveness, patience and acceptance. It isn't the same torch as the one that is used to hunt and burn monsters.

This position vis a vis life invites to embracing our suffering, understand it totally as a transformative process, or teaching that we might have been resisting until now, and that in that very resistance where lies all the pain and suffering we have been carrying all along.

From the realm of the Soul, every event no matter how seemingly harsh and unjust fits beautifully and perfectly, just like the process of teething, or puberty, or aging fit in the biological evolution of human beings.

This of course is my perspective from this vintage point in which I find myself at this particular moment. I know that I will not remain here.

The tape of conditioning is always playing in the background, of my semi-conscious human awareness, I know that there is always a possibility for me to be sucked in by my human self-centered melodrama... after all it's part of the process, until the process is over.

We are One. Children of Mother Earth, expressions of Spirit.
