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
