There is often a discrepancy between our ideals and what we encounter. It’s the rub between these two things, the squeeze between vision and reality that causes you to grow up, wake up, to be alive and compassionate. This rub is one of our most productive places on the spiritual path.
Spirituality is the basic meaning of being human, it is considered a function or outgrowth of evolution. Spirituality is the ultimate expression of the mind and who we are. If we choose to engage in the full process of being human, then we will fulfill our part in the universe’s evolution.
Any fragment of the mind apart from heart, spirit, human community, and the natural law of the universe is going against your own true nature. We sometimes confuse knowledge with knowing. Forget the 10,000 things, be open and curious, not knowing is true knowledge.
If a person or persons are annoying you, sometimes it is best not to engage them, instead retreat with dignity and reserve. When you carry retreat out correctly, it is a sign of strength. Through perseverance and single acts of resistance we prepare for the counter movement.
