Spirit’s Daily Philosophical Meditations – Book One

1. Spirit tells me that

Awareness and acceptance mean the same thing, in that each has a direct object.

Unconditional love and compassion differ from each other in that unconditional love, like awareness and acceptance, requires a direct object. Compassion is a quality, or state, of mind.

Our mind has no states/regions/levels at all, but variable qualities, and variable quantities of whatever qualities.

Comments:

jw (Simple seeker) If this is so, then I wonder how all of our possibly many variable qualities of mind would learn to harmonize with each other?

2. Spirit tells me that

Our ancestors are not walking with us, but within us.

Comments:

jw: Is it possible? Haven’t we all been told, “You’re just like your mother? or father? or someone else before our time?”

3. Spirit tells me that

The trickle-down effect is a Universal Law of Life, as is trickle in, and trickle out.

We each and all, and everything that is, are connected with each other, and so it makes sense that we each are more than connected. We are interdependent upon each other. Nobody and nothing exists in a world of its own. Everything we do has consequences on the world we live in, and on those who live in and share our world with us, knowingly or otherwise.

So, this trickle-down effect may seem to relate to economics, and to the wealth of the nations, but it equally relates to every other aspect of our life, personally, and collectively.

4. Spirit tells me that

Problems arise when each side plays by different rules and different priorities.

Our outer and inner worlds each require us to play by their rules, above all else.

Comments::

Simple Seeker: How can it be done, and still accept for personal responsibility for our choices?

Spirit: We can meditate on the problem and listen for an intuitive understanding of how to satisfy both. In business circles it’s called reaching a consensus, an outcome that both sides can accept.

5. Spirit tells me that

We each have a unique source of wisdom within us. We calli it by different names. We use our imagination to think what might be a better way to live. Of course, we have role models all around us, and have had them since we were newborn infants. Have we absorbed their many ways of living, and now select which to listen to?

Some psychotherapists call this inner knowing our unconscious mind. Some might call it a shadow. Some, our conscience, or inner voices, or teachers, or spiritual gurus. And yet, giving names may be a way to protect us from truths learned from earlier lifetimes of experience.

6. Spirit tells me that

We can’t see germs but we know they exist. We experience their effect on our health.

Scientists can now see much that is hidden to the average eyes. The day will come when scientists will see the many forms of swirling energy that share our world, both close up and distant. Do they now recognize intelligence in germs? Will they recognize intelligence in swirling energy? Will they learn how to measure that intelligence? This raises the question, is it possible for anyone to measure intelligence beyond their own.

Oh, the questions that can arise once you give yourself permission to ask yourself questions.

7. Spirit tells me that

Love and hate, hot and cold, near and far, high and low, the list goes on. All of the so-called pairs of opposites only measure polar extremes of the same open-ended reality. More of one is less of the other. Yanag and Yin.

8. Spirit tells me that

We’re learning that power is power, and doesn’t belong exclusively to anyone.

The timeless wisdom of I Ching tried to teach us, us being humanity, away back then and away over there. And yet, we haven’t yet learned to accept that reality.. Power and limitation of power is what Yang and Yin is all about.

9 Spirit tells me that

We each and all have a personal philosophy of life, and we live it, aware or not so.

“Build your home of a firm foundation.” Every religion teaches that, and they offer to help us by offering a core set of beliefs to guide us. We can, if we will to, self-study to discover what our core beliefs really are, and not just what we have learned to believe they are. Everyone lives their their own core beliefs or has physical, emotional, and mental problems for betraying them. personal philosophy of life is.

We don’t have to ask anyone what their personal philosophy o life is. We can witness how they relate to the world around them, and within them. As without, so within.

And yet, we might be trying to live a life that wasn’t meant for us to live. Many of us may simply be following someone else’s idea of how to live our life, instead of daring to face personal responsibility for caring for our own body and soul.

That doesn’t mean that we can’t share a common belief. Not all stone foundations are the same shape or size. One size does not necessarily fit all hearts and minds.

12. Spirit tells me that

All learning experiences are necessarily personal. Life teaches us one-to-one.

Even in a crowded classroom, we each learn in our own way and in our own time.

And, perhaps all experiences are learning experiences, or might be, if we open to what they might teach us.

13. Spirit tells me that

We choose the way we live our life, one step at a time, from available choices.

How many of us are living any differently today than we were yesterday, last week, last month, or last year? Do we get into a comfortable way of living? Or is it a habit? or and addiction? And yet, some seem to be changing direction more often than makes sense to some of us.

17 Spirit tells me that

A shovel is to a spade as enlightenment is to individuality. Jung created a language.

You’ve got to give the guy credit. He appeared to be leaving religion and spirituality for the scientific method. . Is science playing by his rules?

Is science a form of religion? Perhaps the highest form of religion that has ever existed in human form?

Religions lost their power as they aged, but only because they were stuck into a rigid belief system.

Scientists are too cool to play that game. They’re in it for the long haul, and so have learned to adapt to expanded visions of reality. What was true, yesterday, may be only part of today’s truth. And tomorrow will be built on today’s truth.

Change is accepted, since change over-rules truth, all other truths, anyway.

There is no disconnect. We’re just more closely connected to some than to some others.

There is an endless continuum of connections, and relationships to those connections.

20. Spirit tells me that

It’s still the same old story. The queen is dead. Long live the king. One year ends.

Duality may be a necessary quality of Life. Evolution itself requires us to let go of what didn’t work. And yet, here we are, holding onto the past, as if it could last.

21. Spirit tells me that

Some call it freedom. I call it personal responsibility to choose this or that.

Is it personal responsibility, or necessity? We can’t not choose whatever.

How to live our life?

Yin and Yang may express the ultimate choice, and so play their roles in everything we do.

The timeless wisdom teachers knew, but could only teach what their people had the capacity to understand, for now. And yet, they spoke in terms that had many layers of meaning.

School teachers play that same game, even today. And so do we. We share more with some than with some others. It’s pointless to teach division before the students can add or subtract. And yet, anything that can be added can also be subtracted, or divided, or multiplied.

One step at a time.

How is it possible to fully understand what freedom, or any other word describing a social condition, whether self-imposed (through habitual responses to seemingly necessary (or not so) activities of daily life, and interactions with others is, if we have not personally experienced what it means not to be free, or not to be whatever?

The conscious and the unconscious – window dressing for the known and unknown?

Was Freud the first to coin the terms, the conscious and the unconscious? Is that how the terms became standard psychological items? Gypsy Rose Lee used a large feather to make her strip show more appealing . Have mental therapists developed their own mental feathers, to make therapy seem appealing by using mystical sounding language? Is that part of our current culture?

Like attracts like.

Meditation can attract more of the same quality of thought that we bring to the meditation.

So it is with any practice.

We each seem to have inborn variable potential for music, art, physical development, whatever.

Study, practice, and inspiration can help us to develop our unique inborn potential.

Scientists collect and study information, and develop theories about it.

Forget about away back then and pointing at early influences, except to confirm or deny our perhaps long-existing pattern of response.

I Ching uses six blends of two extremes to express six variable of any two archetypal qualitys of life.

Of course, thee may be infinite variables of every pair of so-called opposites, but for simplicity’s sake, we can use sunset, sunrise, and points in between to measue days.

Good and evil can be measured in the same way – how much good and how much evil?

We may each express this dynamic within our own physical, and possibly emotional, intellectual and even spiritual natgue.

How feminine? How masculine?

This idea can open up the thought that even emotions and thoughts are more of one than of the other.

Ideas – can they express moe good than evil?

Are some thoughts and ideas more rational than emotional?

Can spirituality also be measured as a variable of strength, flexibility, durability, gentleness, etc.”

Sixty years ago I attended a series of lectures on God and the Philosophers, that changed my life forever, more or less.

79. Spirit tells me that

The commercial value of spirituality – Does so-called awakening have a dollar value?

Where do we draw the line with sharing what has been shared with us, and marketing our insights?

80. Spirit tells me that

Do we consciously weave our way through life experiences, or are we woven by forces beyond our control?

Unless we get studk, or find our place, we weave our way through life experiences.

The closest possible relationship – Ego and Self.

Does it set the stage for the rest?

A self-aware blend of emotional intelligence.

That’s what everyone is.

Sing it LOUD.

I will if I can.

Will and potential as the primary yang and yin pair of complements?

Do time and evoluton move together?

Time evolves?

Or, does evolution take time?

86. Spirit tells me that

Instinctive knowing comes from our past,

Intuitive knowing comes from our future.

Is all energy a two-way streed?

Power domes down and through, and yet .. what do we give in exchange?

Mission and calling – are they the same.

Can there be one without the other?

88. Spirit tells me that

We are what we do, and we do what we are.

Can we be anything more than what we do?

What and who as the same thing?

89. Spirit tells me that

If time and distance both measure space, and we’re moving forward through life experience, then how far have we gone in time and space?

“We see what we see until we see more.”

Who said that?

What does it mean?

If it takes forever – investment in the future requires dedication.

So, we’re all ..

We’re still here, so we must each and all believe in a better tomorrow, more or less.

92. Spirit tells me that

Even the human body.

Everything is political.

The head is usually on top.

If that what political means, having form, then every thing must necessarily be political.

92. Spirit tells me that

An infinity sign as a figure eight on its side.

Picture an endless loop of energy.

Picture, if you can, an endless flow of seven qualities and/or types of creative, emotional, intelligent, and uniquely blened energy flowing into, through, and out of itself, in an endless stream.

The human blood stream can represent that life force, for that’s what it is.

Now picture that same horizontal figure eithgt becoming more or less equal in its flow from and through one side to the other.

More low than high, or more high than low.

Our mental nature can become distorted, and off balanced.

Our physical health can become leess and less in harmony with our mental health. or the other way around.

How to bring two sides of our life force to relaxing into harmony?

Meditation helps.

As does simply relaxing and paying close attention to our breathing, and intentionally helping it to calm down and flow steadily.

93. Spirit tells me that

Why did we choose this way and not another way to respond to whatever situation?

Is that the line of questioning that faces us at the end of the line?

94. Spirit tells me that

Teachers intentionally infljuence their students, if they can.

Students choose, or ..

Do students choose to listen to their teachers?

Do they choose to learn as much as they can from their teachers?

Or does the teacher/student relationship just become part of a way of life?

Is it the same with advertisers and consumers?

Or politicians and voters?

What about our personal relationships?

Do we just slip into habits of relating?

96. Spirit tells me that

Conscious and unconscious can never be either/or if they are variables of each…

We create a meal from food that we have available, and yet we not likely ever use all of the food we have available to prepare one meal.

We dip into our supplies.

Do we play that same game with our mind?

97. Spirit tells me that

We’re neither one nor two, but a unique blend of both.

Is that necessarily true of all personal relationships?

Do we each possess energies that harmonize with each other, even though we may also possess energies that do not?

98. Spirit tells me that

Our teachers and leaders don’t need to be perfect, simply more qualified than we are.

I must have been a hero-worshipper even when I was early into philosophical studies.

I held my favorite philosopher high, as if on a pedestal, and when I began to study under someone whose ideas more appealed to me, then down went my earlier idol, crashing to the ground.

Do we play that same game with spiritual and even political leaders?

Do we demand that they be perfect in every way?

Or else?

99. Spirit tells me that

Ignorance sounds so unkind, while lack of awareness is no big deal.

We didn’t know.

The words we use can make a difference in how theyh’re received by others, and how we’re received by others.
