A new morning insight following on from yesterdays diary entry.

I contemplated the ‘speck’, or ‘stain’ of past transgressions. The speck of imperfection we can’t seem to get past. The speck that shows something, somewhere went wrong. Being ‘cast out of heaven’, is our lot. A ‘memory’ we can’t shake or deny.

A voice of reason speaks…

As long as there’s a world of “things”/‘matter’, there’ll be interactions…there’ll be companions…there’ll be “other”…i.e. no loneliness! No, there is no way to avoid frictions – these occur naturally in a world of things. If you don’t want frictions, be a rock! But then it’s lonely. You see?

Pride (voice of doubt) say’s… But who would create a world of friction… of strife? 

This is the world of “things”. Understand that there ‘are’ collisions…there ‘are’ interactions, conjoillings, beautiful ‘melding’s’…all of that! Realising this, then, taking no thing personally, can liberate one to enjoy life free like a child, un-encumbered by doubt.

How to get past the sense of injustice, the ‘someone needs to pay’ mentality keeping us stuck in the past, unable to flow freely and joyously into the future. When even seeing things from another person’s perspective causes one to continue to hold onto the blaming mentality.… “Yeah, well… It shouldn’t have happened in the first place!” (The voice might say). When not even the light of understanding can help one let go of the thing causing them to hold barriers, and point blame. This is very self limiting because you hold yourself a prisoner of perpetual victimhood. The torment can eventually cause you to unleash in harmful ways – you can suddenly become the “villain” to another. And the strife perpetuates.

Or…

Realisation that we ‘are’ living in a world of matter, of atoms and particles bouncing off one another, the world of companionship and interactions! A world of no loneliness!

Is there a world of physical matter where there is no strife present?

Hey…The word “strife” is what we need to look at here. What is strife? ‘Frictions’… ‘Head-butting’… “Oops! I just bumped into you”! That was a moment… Zoom…off I go again!…says the particle of light. 

What could be another word for these strifes or frictions? …“Experiential occurrences”…(I like this notion from the Ra Material). Nothing to waste a lifetime fuming about, just a momentary interaction with another thing, in this great big world of things!

So, is it smart to take things personally in this sense? Maybe we just do ourselves injustice when we do.
