At first I believed all that people said about others was true, but more and more I realize all we do is out pour that which is deeply rooted inside of us. The ego can be so sly, it loves attention and desires a scratch to that itch every now and then—to this there is no end.
I also realize more and more how connected my life is. I used to compartmentalize things in the belief that they were distant things that would never share boundaries. But the more I look at life, I realize everything is somehow related. Although my knowledge to this is still fairly new, I’m just starting to open up…I feel like a babe at this.
Finally I’d like to say I’ve realized my ills more and more. I’m such a faulty person. I go around life with a score to settle, a point to prove. This also I am still trying to understand more and more. I do not desire it any longer, for its joys are short-lived, yet its consequences I struggle with long after. I should not desire to prove a point. I’m learning so much from my mishaps.
To echo what Esther said above, I am beginning to see that so many of the “random” events of my life were anything but. Also, I am coming to understand that the suffering I’ve endured in my life has been intended by the Creator not to punish me, but rather to compel me to keep developing spiritually by no longer being content with the shiny trinkets of this world.
At present, I must say that I only understand on an intellectual level and not consistently on a spiritual one. I am sure this will come in time but in principal, it all makes sense to me about the opposing forces of simply bestowal and reception. I am keen to participate in the future practical exercises in order to feel what I am being taught on a greater level
