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).

Or to look left and right instead of believing there is only one possible direction in which it is possible to walk in - or that you must go that way and no other for some reason.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY

True spirituality is a 24/7 task and not a weekend occupation to be enjoyed at leisure. 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 ...

We are all part of an integrated whole and as such share our unconscious as well as our conscious aspects of self.
