THE MIDDLE PATH

By having been endowed with the capacity of Mind, and therefore a superior intelligence with regard to the Animal Kingdom, we became partly seperated from the flow of Life Force, which is our connection to the Divine source not only keeping us alive but also in a state of harmony and health. Our Mind is very fond of holding on to things, always wanting to be in the past or the future and but rarely it the present state and place. Its nature is to hold on - but Life's nature is fluctuating change. By holding on too strongly we cut our-selves off from the natural flow and thus blocking the energy from flowing freely we create an imbalance in the self and its existance. Also, everything in life has two opposite sides to it is and our task is to find and keep to the central point where balance and harmony reign. Until then we constantly switch from on extreme to the other, sometimes willingly but more often we find our-selves toppling unconrollably from side to side. Therefore our life upon the earthly plane could justly be called a path of the middle.
