by Magi Question? Should we enjoy the gifts of the goddess imparted to us by physical enjoyment or should strive to be more of a spiritual entity (whatever that means). The sausage machine has ground to a halt and delivered the following: Some people tend to be more identified with their feelings, and look upon these as the experience of prime importance. A few people are primarily identified with their bodies. There is nothing 'wrong' with being identified in this way - indeed it is absolutely necessary in order to be able to experience and express oneself in the world through the medium of these 'vehicle of identification'. Remember that growth comes from inclusion. If, for example, you consider yourself to be more mentally attached (or identified) and that you pay less attention to your feelings, do not suppress or depress your mental strength to correct the balance, but increase your feelings side until it is of equal strength. Obviously the opposite is true if you are primarily feelings attached. What is needed, however, in order to be whole or balanced, is: 1. A balanced attachment: not one-sided towards the mind or overdeveloped towards the feelings, but equally able to identify with either of these vehicle of manifestation as appropriate. 2. The ability to withdraw from the identifications altogether, and be in a clear space, dis-identified from the personality. From this clear space it is then possible to make clear choices to re-identify as seems appropriate. (Here come the Qabalah) Tiphareth (the sun and the heart) is the place where this clarity is discovered. It is the 'I' that can say of itself: 'I am I, a centre of pure self-consciousness and of self-directed choosing'. The will of the individual in this centre, clear space is to identify and express itself, and to contact the higher spheres in order to manifest the Qualities of the soul. Fair enough?
Why didn't I say this? In all walks of life, balance is obtained when duality merges into oneness |
