Just below our rational façade of humanity lies a turbulent darkness that is kept in check by the good that happens in life’s everyday existence and excitement. When examining the duality of human nature, it seems to fall under two different categories, good versus evil in the struggle of light and dark, or the thinking mind versus our animalistic biological impulses that are programmed beyond the mind’s thinking. When human’s animal nature is investigated, it is typically around how a person can decline into darkness. When someone is under extreme stress, under the grips of insanity, or throwing inhibitions aside, what was once a rational human being is left turned into a rageful psychopath unfit for normal society.
Before we came on this long journey through duality we came from a state of oneness spiritually and physically. This is what actually caused the world of duality to come into existence and why it is important to see the part we play in it to understand where we are ultimately trying to go. We came from a place of unity, physical oneness and connected through love and gratitude. After a time, we wanted to experience more on our own. This is where the separation happened both physically as we left the mother and spiritually when we separated from god.
As a result of experiencing the duality in this physical/spiritual separation, we eventually become longing for home and the state of unity that was once created by love. We realize that all of us are connected on the same journey of experiencing duality through the human condition and continually trying to remember and be reminded where it was we came from. Once we remember where it is we came from and who we are as divine creatures, we are then able to create something better than from where we came from. This is the birth of compassion.
We have created both love and hate and we have also discovered ways we can confront and welcome hatred with acceptance and kindness. This is the transformation of fear into love and gratefulness with compassion. We are currently in the process of being able to transform any situation into one which can hold higher levels of love and gratitude.
As my 60-day visa is about to expire and my time in Thailand comes to an and I get to experience the duality of human nature. The joyful feelings of being blessed to have made friends and having the depths of conversation and connection, to the feelings of sadness and grief of not wanting the beauty of these connections to all come to an end. I can feel the pull inside of my heart as we share another meal together and converse about other topics that bring us closer to unity and oneness inside of ourselves and to each other.
There is no doubt that the bonds of friendship that have been created with people I have met along my journey are unbreakable and some might even say eternal. At the same time, my mind wants to protect myself and my heart from the sadness, grief and heartbreak I am experiencing from the physical separation. I can hear the voice inside of me telling me how I shouldn’t open myself up to receiving the generosity and goodness of people because the pain of separation and loss is too great. It’s sometimes hard to believe the truth that the friendships I have created are never ending through the pain in my heart. This is the duality I am describing above.
I am in the process of creating that bridge of loving the pain in my sadness and grief because it comes from a higher vibration of love that seems to be out of my reach at the moment. I ask myself, if I could choose to do things differently, would I? Would I trade in any of the special times I have spent with Reeta, Moo, Jilly, Thupten, Heather, Min, Kay, Lauri, Gupta, Moosa, Linda, Thomas, Nayab, Melissa, Pratima, Nirmala… and others I have shared deeper connections with? Absolutely not… the feelings of separation, loss and grief are worth experiencing as those feelings get transformed into the unity of god’s love right before my eyes as I sit with the duality of being human. It’s through experiencing everything being in this human body that I get to experience the unity of life and god’s love.
Don’t love me until the sky doesn’t have to find sweet words. As you said Is still deep.
* I only love one word
Means this alone
I want to hear again that she loved me
** Do not love the sky, but I love the original, do not have more, but love does not diminish
Do not love until eternally as long as I’m still breathing, like. old Let’s keep the same
Don’t have to force yourself because of me
Don’t have to dream of being like anyone.
Before being like, it is like the old, the same love that has ever been given, how much love is not important, saying that still love each other Want this
