To Serve Comfort Needs

Posted on by under A spirit teacher tells me that, developing awareness, Finding our unique way, higher education, Life-long learning continues

Spirit tells me that there is more to life
than material existence can ever offer,
for it is as the lowest step on a ladder
to ever-higher levels of existence.

Peaceful co-existence can never come from
focus on form alone, while ignoring essence,
and all form possesses, or contains, essence.

Even a chair?

Even a chair.

What essence could a chair possess.

Purpose, or potential purpose.

To serve comfort needs?

Yes, Life itself serves comfort needs.

How?

By expressing itself within all forms
of life.

But, not all forms of life feel comfortable.

How do you know?

I’m a form of life.

Yes.

I don’t always feel comfortable.

Why?

How could that be possible?

How could it not be possible?

There’s something you’re not telling me.

What?

Perhaps we each define comfort differently?

As a quality or as a variable?

I could feel less comfortable?

Yes.

Yes.

Beauty and Pleasure express Spiritual Values

Spirit tells me to release my hold on the heavy but

Seductive energies of material values. For me, that

Position is neither desirable nor possible.

 

I tell Spirit that material comforts surely express

Spiritual values of beauty and pleasure, and that

Perhaps we each must find our own comfort zone

Where our own, individual spiritual and material

Values co-exist in harmony with each other,

Each expressing the other.

 

Yes, He agrees, as if He expected my response and

Intended to provoke it.

 

Perhaps, He suggests, I will learn to relax my hold

Without releasing it. Over-simplicity, for the sake of

Simplicity, He tells me, is a trap of false pride.

 

The middle way is a personal way and, as such is

A different path for every individual.

 

 

 

Simplicity is different things to different people

Posted on by under developing awareness, seeking the middle way, Uncategorized

Spirit asks me to try to develop

A more simple lifestyle.

What would it look like,

I ask Him.

Simplicity is, He tells me,

But, of course, I already knew,

Different things to different people.

I do, now, live a much more simple

Lifestyle than I would choose to live,

If choosing is all it took. But,

It does seem to require more,

Perhaps a more generous

Spirit teacher?

I tell Spirit that I need pleasure and

Comfort in my life, and, since I am

For now, in a world of matter, then

Why not enjoy it, if I can.

I need pleasure and a certain level

Of comfort. Spirit surprises me

With, So do I.
