JANU: We are aware of the struggles of humanity in the midst of an incarnate life filled with wide ranging experiences of brutality and beauty and wonder. We understand this, the path of life that seems to have too many potholes, ruts, hurdles, and reversals. This tempers the experience, broadens the resource of experience to develop the ability to see through situations, attitudes, behaviors, to the beauty of the life that allows this. They are minor in the larger view of life. All of these have beginning and end, temporary. But the love that allows this expression is permanent and, yes, eternal.
So choose wisely what you hang your hat on, so to speak, as a reference for stability in your life, solid foundation, and determination to continue the path to wisdom, peace, and enlightened service. The balance here is to be conscious of everything, understand its existence, and be steadfast with the truth within you. All is forgiven in the larger life. Misinterpretations, misperceptions, misunderstandings. It’s as a child learning to walk, behave in relationships, absorb the falls, rise up again and move on.
Be mindful of the path of improvement in the midst of reversals. The patterns of life exist simultaneously, our brother. They co-exist. But consciousness appraises them and chooses. Be conscious of the truth behind everything, including your being, and cherish the wisdom that comes. Difficult to do within the midst of challenge of pain and suffering, but choose to return to the balanced life. Find your equilibrium and continue. Help others understand this, as you may. Namaste.
