Gems of Complexity

We are as vast cities, containing more of the mystery of divinity within ourselves than we can possibly comprehend. Our conscious minds rest upon  our soul, as a dinghy floating on a vast ocean. We taste some of the many fish that swim in our inner waters as we wander the countries and meet the many characters in our outer world. One world reflects the other.

Nothing this big can be dominated by our conscious mind. To attempt it is to experience slavery, insanity or frustration. To surrender is to accept that we are much bigger than we can control. It is also to accept that in relating to ourselves we are embarked on a journey that is beyond anything we can conceptualize.

Our impatience for quick fix is an expression of our seductive relationship with trickster and ego, who cost us a great deal by framing our vision in terms of simple answers.

With maturity comes wisdom: wisdom that understands that our journey is not about changing our selves, others, or the world, but accepting and loving them. This statement can be misinterpreted. It is not about changing our selves. It is about changing our posture towards our selves. As we do, some of our selves will change. Others will change their posture towards us. This leads to powerful alignment. The same powerful alignment can occur with people around us in our lives. As this occurs, more of our conscious will blossoms into reality with grace.

Even as we identify as the dinghy in the ocean, we have the immense power and opportunity to create and induce a powerful congruency between ourselves and the ocean itself, with all the creatures it contains. In doing so through love and acceptance, we become the gateway through which all of us can return to the divine source. As we express mastery in this inner journey we become beacons within a much bigger being that is humanity as a whole.

As we embrace and welcome our selves, we are able to welcome all of humanity in it’s many faces. Not by changing it, or surrendering to it without boundary, but by loving and accepting it, even as we live our lives in integrity with our choices and values. This is the dance: to embrace while remaining distinct. To love while respecting our self.

Action: Be humble that you may already be where you need to be. Be open to new ways of relating to who you already are.
