It's just a reminder that there's always tension between our human self and the soul on the journey.
Our human self is a mammal,
So it will need nurturing,
Regular food,
Maybe regular sex,
You know,
Company like a herd,
A sense of belonging,
A place to sleep.
Whereas our souls,
This eternal energy,
Formless eternal energy that's dreamed us up and dreamed this whole universe up in order to have the experience that you're having on Earth right now.
For the soul,
You know,
Growth and understanding is more important than any kind of physical discomfiture or pain.
You know,
The soul will be just delighted at growth when we might be,
As a mammal,
We might be like lonely and very unhappy,
But our soul might be really happy that we're getting through this issue,
That we're coming into a bigger understanding,
That we're willing to grow.
So that's the rub of being human and that's where we need compassion for ourselves,
For our humanity.
You know,
Growth is easiest for us as humans if,
You know,
We have,
You know,
A place to sleep and regular food and we feel a sense of belonging,
But sometimes,
You know,
On the soul level,
That doesn't really promote very fast growth.
What might promote really fast growth is,
You know,
To get totally abandoned or for a war to break out or,
You know,
To lose someone close to us.
That,
You know,
The soul would willingly go through those experiences to get the growth.
We'll be pleased to get the growth,
Whereas our human self might be suffering.
So this is just where we need patience and compassion and to be able to put our arms around both our human self and our soul.
Okay,
Bless your hearts.
