51. Spirit tells me that

Until the age of cellphones, it wasn’t considered polite total to oneself.

Now, who can ever know if we’re communicating long distance with a friend, or a shorter distance with our inner self.

It might take practice.

51. Spirit tells me that

Our future can never be anything that our past didn’t have the potential to become.

“There’s nothing new under the Sun.”

Who said that?

And now I suddenly understand what it means.

We each and all are becoming what we may always have had the potential to become.

And now the question arises – what do I have the potential to become?

How is it possible to know?

It’s much easier to accept what I have no potential to become – graceful, at least not physically.

53. Spirit tells me that

It’s you or me, Honey.

No offence intended.

We each strive to survive and thrive.

Invasive plants in my little garden.

Who but a gardener could ever consider that beautiful Iris plants have a natural tendency to invade … or do they only need to expand beyond their present limits?

Hosta is feeling the pressure from its neighbour.

And yet, Hosta too expands if it can, though not with the same speed or force that Iris does.

We each have our own nature.

How can we grow without expanding?

Is human territory much as a garden in that respect?

We may threaten our neighbours without any conscious intention to do so.

Or they may threaten us, if they seem to be expanding in our direction.

It’s an easier problem to resolve in the garden than in the world of humanity.

I’ll simply dig up and transplant the Iris roots (and plant) that’s moving too close to Hosta to allow for a healthy relationship between them.

The world (or garden) of humanity – does it work the same way?

And who is to do the digging up and transplanting?

And the question arises, sooner or later, how long can we play this game within the limits of a small garden (or world)?

54. Spirit tells me that

Any possible situation can only exist as a result of a continuous stream of earlier interconnected situations.

A continuous stream of earlier interconnected situations have created the illusion of the so-called here and now.

Someday, historians and psychologists, not to mention scientists, will look for clearly defined, or not so clearly defined patterns of response that will help them to predict the future.

What’s happening today that hasn’t happened ten thousand times or more before?

Or are we each and all, slowly or more so, moving on with our life and developing a future that wasn’t here before?

55. Spirit tells me that

A personal spiritual philosophy of life – is it possible?

Is it practical?

Is it necessarily a reality, whether we’re aware of it or not?

56. Spirit tells me that

An old political slogan –

“Know there is a fence.

Know which side you’re on,

And know who’s there with you.”

Could it equally apply to any field of thought, or emotin?

57. Spirit tells me that

Together we stand, until … When does a collective of specifics become a a specific …?

Today is Canada Day, and being a dedicated Canadian, my little patio lets the world (or at least anyone passing by) know that I’m celebrating being a specific of a particular collective.

And yet, all over the world there may be billions of little people like me doing the same thing, without even knowing (or perhaps even very much caring) that we’re each and all a human within humanity.

small groups of people within ever-larger groups of people …

How to retain our individual identity as a “ME” and still be part of a “WE”?

Does the problem start with any one-to-one relationship?

Is it a problem of exclusiveness vs inclusiveness?

How to solve it in the best interest of all concerned?

Are wars no more than a frustrated outcome of a failed attempt at togetherness?

Or is it necessarily always a power play?

33. Spirit tells me that

It’s nothing personal, and yet it’s as personal as it can get.

Energy attract, or …

Flowers and blossoms attract bees, and yet they may also attract other insects, for different reasons.

And so it may be with people, among other things.

34. Spirit tells me that

How can we ever know how much is beyond our ability to do, until we try?

When does accepting the illusion of absolute control of any situation serve as an excuse for not testing the limits of what we can do?

35. Spirit tells me that

Whatever happens, you and I and everyone else are co-creating a future.

We’re cocreating a future humanity.

How does it feel?

What an awesome opportunity and responsibility.

Can we ever separate these two potentials?

36. Spirit tells me that

Our emotions are forces beyond our control, unless we choose and are able to …

Unless we choose and are able to develop will power to control the emotions that would possess us, if they could.

Is possession too strong a term to describe emotions?

Some people seem to have a potential to feel qualities and strengths of .emotion that some others are not able to feel.

I have a neighbour who, now and then, seems to spiral downward into a dark area of mind.

She can become destructive and dangerous.

And yet, at other times, and fortunately most of the time, she’s harmless.

What makes her descent into darkness more dangerous is the high power of her personal energy.

We don’t all possess that high power that can lead us to positive or negative expression of what we physically do to the world around us.

Do our leaders necessarily possess that powerful personal energy?

If so, how to know how they would use great power?

37. Spirit tells me that

It made sense and felt right, and then it didn’t.

Haven’t we all been there?

Life as a continuous series of learning experiences?

Can we also take time out, now and then, to enjoy the journey?

After all, even schools provide for creative physical and social activities

“All work and no play makes John a dull boy.”

Who saiad it?
