Light & Dark
    #22376708 - 10/14/15 01:02 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I am curious about the balance of light and dark in ones life.  I often feel detached from myself, well more than usual, when I allow one of these to become greater than the other in my life.

Does anybody else feel this way?  Do any of you think it's important to have a balance of light and dark in your life?  If so what is the way you balance it?

"The sun and the moon.  All I want to do is have some fun."

When you feel detached that is not well?  If so, can you correct to feel well?

The sun, light rises and is brightest during mid day.  The new moon is the darkest of nights.  Many stars shine during new moon.

Feel the same?  Why I believe we all do have feelings.  Where our emotions are and how we express our being, very individual understanding.

Eat well, do well, be well.  And all's well.

I get depressed when I have to much light, or if I have to much dark, but once I balance the two I am happy again.  Recently I have balanced myself out, and feel fearless.

Meditation is so, so underrated. It's a cureall overall health and attunement restorer and a totally necessary practice if you want your consciousness to go "pro". I have heard 20 mins 2x daily does the trick. 1 hr per day+ and you start changing in very interesting ways. It's easy to think of it as tedious but when you start doing it for a while you realize how important it is.

It might be the most important thing a person can do. If you think about it, it literally evolves your brain to develop balances between opposites like light and dark automatically and it's free to do. Personally I wish I would have chosen to keep up a consistent practice ever since I learned about it and I'm going to make it a mandatory daily thing now. After all is said and done, there is really nothing else that will bring you to that place.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, he called the light day and the darkness night.

Water was created on the second day and also has duality. It descends from heaven and ascends from earth.

Trees from the third day of God's good creation are also dualistic. The roots spread beneath the earth and the branches ascend toward the heavens.

Reminded me of this-

'To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.' - Whitman 

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Walt_Whitman


it was very nice to see -- seems to be one that - always and ever, when i spend a while and come back to, there's so much beauty yet to see.

i always enjoyed this one;

'All, all for immortality,
Love like the light silently wrapping all.'

or i just noticed :smile:

'Each of us inevitable;
Each of us limitless—each of us with his or her right upon the earth.'

To me - the important thing is primarily to help restore the earth to beauty, and help put an end to the war machine -- pollution, overpopulation, and war seem to be our three main issues of the day -- we've done a lot to halt the tide; we're still losing some species every day, though.

To engage in that - one doesn't have to actually give up anything, though.  Giving up 95 % of consumption -- this is no loss, nor is it very difficult. . . we create it as easy or difficult. . .

Nor is there even a compromise between technology and health of earth required - a last illusion :sun: hehe...  it's important i think, to be mindful of each thing we do, how it may affect the earth today, and for future generations. . .

Humans are are not alone on this globe, but if we are not careful, we may one day be.  All of the rest of life is equally beautiful -- in some ways more beautiful, etc.  And equally deserving to be here; losing 40-50 species a day, is way too much -- even 5 would be too much. . .

And, best I can see, to get this done; several things help a great deal. .. healing from division, this kind of thing helps a very much. . . working together, etc. 

Perfect health is normal and natural; nothing much is required except plenty of water, a few pure foods, and primarily - love and pure faith in the health of one's being --

Children can teach us a lot in that regard - they heal faster than any other -- they also learn faster than any other.

A child can learn 5 languages simultaneously, with no difficulty whatsoever, if they are spoken to them from an early age -- this is miraculous example of intelligence; we would call an adult a super-genius beyond words if they could do this -- but every child can do this.  So you can see, how this ( and many hundreds of other facts of divine life, sacred life, or simply -- good life ) blows the old and out-dated notions out of the water..

So don't learn from anyone but the most brilliant - if you wish to make the most progress, the most swiftly -- and these are also, i have found, the most accessible. . . the beautiful light of the most brilliant of humanity - are never convoluted. . . you know? 

So that is a good rule I've followed, if something is convoluted just put it down. . . :smile:

and - then also those brilliant lights of humanity - who have dozens or more characteristics in common -- also say, ' You are equally great as the greatest. . . '

Meaning - each soul is potentially divine; which - i came across early and yes, that is beautiful and true -- yet, having a slightly more concrete form of it was very helpful..


Anyway - to return to the topic of balance, wisdom, light and dark etc.. - I would say the highest realms of consciousness are available -- it doesn't take years, necessarily - or lifetimes;

it depends on how much one desires to have wisdom and understanding. . . the more greatly one wishes for them, the more swiftly one will attain them... 

Yet speed is not necessary ... We have been here for billions of years - and among the greatest of wise advises - is, ' Wait. '

'When you wait, time itself is on your side,' to quote one wise woman. .. 


To get back to my point -- one may attain peace, wisdom, happiness -- or any other, it is only one step.. 

The whole view, that it is far-distant, nigh impossible to achieve ---- what is this but a random obstacle floating around?  It has no meaning, or not much -- and not much helpful good to come from it either --


Then you get people waiting until they are 85009339 years old until considering they've done it - they've achieved it --

The point is, we're that old -- far older -- and always, always new as well.  There's so much vast wealth --- wealth, of the real kind -- that is available.. 


So it takes one short step -- one single step, off the merry-go-round.  Then one is free.

Indeed, one is free already -- all living beings are free; as bondage itself is illusion - and illusion vanishes as a haze of mist.


Those who are liberated or Lightened, always and ever tell others, ' You are free, '


And of course, offer help whenever someone wishes -- because we are in this together; we are all connected --

and we sink or swim together -- as an ecosphere, as a world, as One Life and one Tree. 


As to light or dark - as i say - the main thing is balance of the whole --


and balance in reality.  If someone follows the illusion'd world - wishing greater material wealth always, and wishing for power -- one is missing the ideal.

For - if one is ever desiring of power, one will never relax, rest, being at peace .. - and discover one already has power. 

Further - if one gradually goes up a little bit, and then they suddenly start freaking out, saying, ' I am fearful, ' -- this sends waves of the same type of energy throughout all those who consider them worthwhile,

Or worthy of respect --- etc.


And - beloved friends of mine, who yet still live in mansions, and so forth -- what may I say to them?


They have not found much of value.  Like - I got the best of the best from them -- and, further, all of the best of the best wisdom, illumination, beauty, and guidance that humanity has stored up --


all that is free.  And that is more valuable than most anything else. 



Ah - i forgot to say one thing -- this one step -- off the merry-go-round, off cyclic existence --


it is so easy; of course. . . secondly, the path of wisdom, peace is mostly about preservation --

preserving what is already there -- there is not much need for attainment. . . the rest is gradually growing more in life, love and beauty, etc. .. 


But as for self-knowledge, we have this always; we are with ourselves from birth, and every part of our experience we know very well -- and knowing one, one knows the whole.


To share perfect health with others is a great joy, I have found. . . Peace and health for all beings is the only thing I strive for --- and it is not striving, it is all restful. . .


A fish eagle needs only hunt for 10 minutes a day; we can do very well, when we awaken.




When people are strong - healthful, at peace - wise, loving - and they do not follow others -- then, they cannot be manipulated.


Like, it's really quite impossible -- someone could try to say to such a populace, 'oh .. . uh, this or that, '


and the populace would be like - ' nope, we are at peace, and infinite love, with mother earth divine, and infinite beauty in the stars and sky '


' we are earth mother '


' be at peace. '



and it would simply not do a single thing -- they would not ever fall back into darkness; not ever, not even once. :-)


So my main thought in reply is - balance for all living species -- this is the main thing. 



Balance, peace, wisdom, and so forth -- on an individual scale -- this takes but a moment.


From a lifetime stretching back billions of years -- this takes only a few years, or a few months or a few weeks even -- to attain natural, perfect health, peace and understanding --


And then to share it - this has been recorded in every culture on the globe -- seek peace, and share it. . . as well as much more detail, about the sacred, about life - about other such topics. . .


To the general question -- in general, terms -- of ' no mud, no lotus ' etc. . .


Nothing is necessary except what we believe is necessary -- and if we believe something is necessary -- it will keep happening until we no longer believe it is necessary.


War is not necessary. 


' Freedom from suffering is a great happiness ' -- a Zen monk, who does indeed with a lot of happiness and love.


Will Blake put it excellently beautifully -  if a tree has a blight, and the blight kills not the tree - and the tree bears fruit - let none say the tree bore fruit because of the blight.


i know, tl;dr, hehe. . all good. :sun:


Peace and Light.

:peace:


My main point is - all your life is yours -- feel free -- do not mind any other's laws or rules --


except what you find deepest in your heart to be true. . . and yes, we are inter-connected beings;


so, sure, learn from others -- but find the Real -- find the Substance -- for yourself;



And it's quite possible -- do not worry about any mistakes -- even if a thousand mistakes occur -- one may learn from them -- indeed often, learn more from mistakes than from correct choices -


so even a thousand mistakes -- simply stand up, shake the dust off, and seek the Ideal once again.


But I would gently share - you absolutely will succeed; you have all strength, all success within you --

Am talking Spiritually here - Materially sure - but what is that?  Material growth occurs upon the backs of others - spiritual growth, happens when people arise together. . .


not one on the back of another, but hand in hand, simply walking in peace - thru nature and infinity.


in perfect harmony and love for earth mother, forever.


that is the divine vision, as well i can put it in words.



Peace and love.

:peace:

:sun:

All of life is a miracle..why light when you have dark? Why Dark when you have light..the true potential of your self is to have precisely what you

Are, Become, reason with, understand and generate...the quality of your life is not in understanding the meanings of light and dark..but sustaining a balance..in which nothing can hinder the meanings of each and all of everything..

You might say to let night be night..and day be day..but the dualism wont ever quit..and so you say that You let dualism be dualism and Wholesomeness be Wholesomeness; Holiness is Holiness; And Unholiness is unholiness..In the dualism of Humanity/existence..we find many things that are what they are..but it is up to you to either take the chance to control them which can be called chaos magick..or we simply let the laws of life continue..and maybe add what we can

But we dont want to add a house in the middle of a lake without a buoy for floating because it would just sink to the bottom most likely..So what we add therein must be one with the whole process of nature..and that type of thinking gives you a sense of what true humanity is all about!

I always viewed Christianity as a one sided religion, very paternal in nature, and in most Christian homes the man is the head of the household.  I do not agree with this because I think it creates an imbalance, at least I have seen this played out time and time again, where the man abuses his authority and messes things up for his family.

I think a strong man and strong woman can compliment each other without getting power hungry and trying to be the head of the home.  I don't know, but religion always seems to present an imbalance of power to me.
