SHEEP OR EAGLE?

The higher a mountain is, the further you can see, once you have actually climbed on top of it. The darker a night is, the brighter seems the light on the following day. And it it exactly the same with personal situations of crises. Each trial contains the possibility for personal transformation - provided, the situation is being lovingly recognized as part of the self, consciously faced and mastered.  This becomes possible once personal identification with the "problem" is being surrendered in favour of a wider, non-personal perspective of the situation.
To give you a metaphor: a hedgerow, which to a grazing sheep appears like an insurmountable obstacle and like the end of its reality, the eagle high up in the sky is able to recognize as a local phenomenon and can furthermore see, that the closed in pasture is merely a little dot in the landscape. If the sheep were in conscious contact with the eagle, it would be able to see its visible reality in relation to the greater reality.
The sheep in the pasture is a symbol for the the Ego, the eagle for the Higher Self. Each human being is besides his "sheep-existence" simultaneously also an eagle inside. Actually his true self is the eagle and the sheep is only a part he has taken on in order to gain experiences on earth. In order to be able to discover your own eagle-part inside of you, you only have to let go your identification with the Ego/sheep-part. Doing so, will open up an your inner space within your consciousness in which you can become an uninvolved observer of you own "Me"(sheep).

LOVE ME FOR A REASON

The Ego is unconsciously aware that love has the power to bestow immortality. And because its greatest fear is to die, it is instinctively seeking after love. However, for as long as the Ego is clinging to the reasons for why it is believing itself to be loved, death remains imminently close and fear remains the dark shadow of the love it is experiencing. Only when the reason for feeling loved is an all-encompassing, unconditional love that is being felt inside your own self, does love make you immortal. Of course, your Ego is still going to die its timely death but because you have released your fears death changes from a threat into a promise.

LOVE LOVE

There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.
