Megalomania or humble realization of soul, which is it? The poison of power or the blessing of love? The two could not be further apart. Nevertheless, they seem to be part of one and the same thing — of human aspirations. So what is spiritual mastership?

Each aims to be somebody, while realizing more or less that he or she is a nobody. “Now I am absolutely nobody any more!” The last words of my father resonate deep in my heart.

The light flickers again. Just when I decide to exchange the bulb, it stops and returns to give a steady, gentle shine. Sooner or later the bulb will have to be replaced. But in the meantime it may accent special moments with flickering. Would another bulb do the same? Was it the power supply that flickered, or just the bulb?

We may explore apparent causes and eventually get to the bottom of things. But bottoms have the tendency to remain hidden, veiled from view, except for the deepest of explorations.

Megalomania or humble realization of soul? The poison of power or the blessing of love? Which is it?

Telling one about something makes it more real. Words have much power, and love, depending on how we use them. My aim is to build up, not to tear down. But how can we keep the two apart, or rather bring them together? One requires the other. To build up a thing, something else has to give. Love requires power; and power requires love. One without the other does not work well — if at all. Can we find a measure of this in time delineation, in more balance offering more sustainability?

As things come and go, life in this dual world is framed by beginnings and endings. However, we can go beyond in consciousness. The essence of being, some call it soul, is not bound by beginnings and endings, but dwells in eternity, in the present moment. This is where the paradox of duality becomes apparent. Beginnings are endings; and endings are beginnings!

Life and love move, unfold, and advance in cycles, in circles and spirals — beginnings and endings, endings and beginnings, all in one.

Why hesitate?
Once something's done, 
it can't be undone.
Such is the nature of existence.

So what?
Go with the flow.
Or swim against the stream.
The currents carry all along.
Going against them 
brings just more or less delay.
But it may not change things.
Or does it?

Can a current be changed,
if enough swim against it?
It all starts with one.
Not that currents be reversed.
But maybe a little adjusted, 
a little more one way or another.
After all, the flow of consciousness is 
the compendium of everyone and everything.
Each individual's thrust makes a difference.
Yes, it does.

I aim to make my difference 
and relish the one you make.
Will it be for the better?
Each tries in his or her way.

In unity and harmony, 
with goodwill we help each other
and overcome the divisiveness 
that tries to pull us down.

Thus, stand strong - 
individually and together!

Time had come to step out. It was a mixed bag to show oneself in all one’s strength and weakness. How would it be received? There was only one way to find out. That was to put it out there for all to see. And brace for the reactions. Most likely there would be a range, from none to hopefully some — some negative, others positive.

Some may question, even attack, others encourage. Some may be confused or misunderstand. Others may see something useful that could help them take another step ahead in unfoldment, in spiritual freedom and divine love, free of dogma and living life fully — observing and relishing how God realizes the moment present in total harmony and love for all and everything.

This is the fulcrum, the harmonic pivot to alert each other to, with the encouragement to find one’s own expression and explore how this applies in every-day life. This is active harmony.
