JANU: Invention, discovery, the quest for knowledge and understanding, peaceful beauty, and sharing. All laudable goals. The journey into the incarnate life on Earth seems to be in the way of all of that. It’s not. It is in addition to. These other wonderful qualities and experiences can find expression and application amongst these other challenges. For others have lofty goals as well, reaching for what they perceive is a better life. There are confusions in consciousnesses of the incarnate life because lofty ideals do not exist separate from the full range of life opportunity in general.
Learning to overcome what has been called the “Dark Side of Life” is a satisfying achievement. But ‘no challenge’ tends to bring idleness, a lack of enthusiasm for discovery. Reaching for goals that seem to be out of grasp is a challenge as well. A journey such as this supports awakening, keeps motivation to overcome frustration and disappointment.
You are never alone. Others struggle in similar ways. Lovingly encourage each other to continue. It’s part of the path of awakening.
