Sometimes, sooner or later, a hole needs to be dealt with, plugged, or otherwise tended — if one aims to realize the whole, that is. A hole may be ignored. Chances are, it will become bigger then, and one could fall into. A big one may require help to get out, if stumbled into. There is help at hand — as much as needed, not more, nor less. Life and love are measured exactly, as seen by soul from beyond duality.

There is no good nor bad. That enables one to better sort out the good from the bad, the bad from the good. At the same time one may realize that the bad is in the good, and the good is in the bad, as long as it or one is in duality. Therefore it is a worthwhile goal to reach beyond duality, especially while living in it.

Going past the point of no return leaves but the option to keep going, on and on. A promise to be is not to give up, to stick with it no matter what. Thus, one may be excluded, ostracized, banned — it matters naught. One may be despised or revered — there is hardly a difference. One’s space is one’s own, always has been, and always will be.

Fascinating though is the overlap with others, what can be put out into the common space, what can be shared and passed along. This opens up the overwhelming wealth of what everyone puts out there, and the challenge of selecting what to explore.

What is worth its while, what uplifts and heals? Who gives more and takes less? What is in balance and in harmony? Who sees the glass half full, and who half empty? And who is happy to just have a glass?

Gratitude is best for all there is; and silence protects. But speaking up allows for sharing and exchanging insights and experiences, exploring together, and for one and all to step ahead in life and love and see how God realizes every moment.

Happy Day!
It's a new moment. 
It may seem more so than ever. 
For it just is. 
Being in life, in nature,
and also in love, 
has its risks. 

One may hold back, out of fear, 
or thrust forward as can be. 
Somewhere in between, 
each finds a range to camp 
or even to root in some. 
It's a tide pool, though. 
Sooner or later 
it will be flooded again 
to renew life. 
Thus it's preferable 
to remain flexible - 
not to get too rooted in anywhere. 
Also in spiritual paths and religion. 
But for simplicity, just in places. 
Even the best will eventually 
get worn down when crowded, 
when rules and regulations 
overtake common sense, 
when power and control 
dent love and freedom. 
Thus undulates consciousness 
in the tide pool of life, 
in the lower worlds. 

But one can go beyond duality 
into the planes of spirit - of soul. 
Yes, it's very possible, indeed. 
Here is love and freedom, 
consciousness and creation, 
divine light and sound. 
That's where the spark of life 
in everyone comes from, 
and where it returns - 
where soul is at home. 

There are many masters, 
as they may be called, 
who teach how to travel here, 
reside here in consciousness, 
here and now in action. 
But each individual does so 
in their very own way - 
live, love, and eventually 
go beyond duality 
including the dichotomy 
of student and teacher - 
sooner or later. 
This precludes either of the two 
from proclaiming their way 
of stepping ahead 
into divine consciousness 
as the only way of doing so. 
Even though, for each 
their way is their only way 
to get through in the moment 
and reach the divine 
that is present here and now. 

Your way is not my way; 
and my way is not yours. 
Each goes their own way. 
That is the way of life, 
of spirit, of love divine.

Each has his or her disposition, their bright and their shadier sides. That’s being human.

A spiritual master mentioned once that all is well if one remembers that one is not always tuned in — and then a vehicle for the negative. Thus the question if one stating such applies it to others and to what extent to oneself? For it appears of little value, unless it’s applied first to oneself. After all, everyone starts with oneself, the so-called first person — I. When it comes to distributing benefits or goodies of some sorts, the I usually likes or wants to get a lion’s share if at all possible. And others may just get what’s left.

This can be a good indicator of balance in life and action, in attitude and expression — or the lack thereof.

One may dream or aim to become a master of sorts. But it appears that the only way to get there is to know one is not. Thus arises the old trap of the only way again — and the paradox of wanting to be what one is not, of not being who one is. Why not just be who one is? And let go of not being who one is not? Any way it appears too obvious!

This seems at the heart of the experience, the lesson of being human.
