Spiritual vs Material

It’s not a competition.

Because they need each other.

“Up” is meaningless without “Down”

I used to yearn for black-and-white answers to my existential questions.

I wanted conclusions and definitive answers

I realised this was a desire for control.

A yearning to feel safe, secure and settled

It never worked

Nothing stays still, especially the mind

It then dawned on me that ‘either/or’ thinking was futile but ‘both’ thinking was accurate

To define what is spiritual, we must consider what it is AND what it is not

If we ask the deep question – are we physical or are we consciousness, the answer is – both

Life becomes a lot more palatable when you can accommodate the opposites

My perspective is;

I can be anything. I am not static.

I am a person, I am consciousness.

I am separate and I am everything.

I have agency, AND everything is already happening

This is the way :)

When I was feeling confused and lost in the world I needed hope, autonomy and understanding. These daily emails are meant for that young human struggling in the challenging game of life
