BALANCE IN lIFE


I have often heard it being said and indeed I have had the thought myself upon occasion, that it is easy for us Westerners living in an affluent and protected environment, in which there is neither life-threatening suffering and hardships nor elemental catastrophes on a large scale to be endured, to be grateful for the abundance of life’s riches. Easy for us to enjoy the various amenities and pleasures it affords us. However to this I would reply: all the more reason that we should appreciate and make the most of it in a grateful attitude of mind. Due to the natural, all-pervading law that like calls forth like, it is actually our duty to enjoy and appreciate these easy-going conditions we were born in order to create as much joy in the collective as possible. This is the surest and indeed the only way to relieve the suffering of the masses. To suffer with them in empathy or to rail against the injustice of it and to condemn the apparently responsible parties for the misery in the world only serves to multiply the existing darkness. Whereas loving compassion towards the suffering, prayer and a mindful attitude towards oneself, Mother Nature and ones immediate fellow beings, are effective remedies to alleviate suffering and to bring light and love into the darkness in this world of ours.

Contrary to the view the purely materialistically minded individuals take, to be spiritual does not imply one dodges life's responsibilities. In fact, the opposite is the case. To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...

NATURAL SHARING

We are all part of an integrated whole and as such share our unconscious as well as our conscious aspects of self. To be blissfully living with our self and in the world transforms us to channels of love, peace and freedom. Therefore, in being consciously aware of the moment and its beauty we are naturally and effortlessly sharing with everyone that, which is most precious in life - love.
