Daily dose of inspiration: Falling down

in #mindfulness8 years ago

Sometimes we have to get lost in order to find ourselves. Sometimes we have to fall in order to move to the top. When we replace have to with wish to, we understand this game called life.

We can all agree that the roller coasters are the most exciting thing in an amusement park. What kind of fun would they be if they went only straight, or only up? Boring, empty, without thrill and passengers.

I can already hear your questions: "Why am I sometimes still falling?" or even "How long will I fall?".

Forever is my answer. Do you understand that for every upcoming fall you must rise first? Then you could say: "Yeah, but this time falling down hurts more than ever." Of course, because you are falling from ever increasing heights.

Do you understand this ride and this excitement? Can you even imagine yourself in a role in which you spread your hands during the fall and enjoy the thrill of flying down?

Let's try to observe the truth in the following way. On the top, we are screaming from the excitement. At the bottom, there is only silence. In the silence, there are many answers, guidelines and messages. And the most important, the God.

Wonderful wisdom says: "When you think that the God can't hear you, remember that professor is quiet during the exam."

You want acknowledgment and revelation, because how else would you realize that faith has become knowledge, and knowledge became wisdom?

When we are at the bottom, we are actually closest to the Source. We drink from it to get ready for the way up. Basic principles of universe creation, without which the cognition would not exist, are duality, contrast and balance. How to know light from the dark, black without white and day without the night?

Contrast is showing us again and again who we are. We are creators and kids. Then the wishes, ideas, plans, games and hopes are born. But so does sorrow, from which we can learn the most, if we understand what the sadness actually is.

Balance is the thing we felt once, and the soul is seeking for it forever. Balance is almost a synonym for the existence of the universe. Love is his essence.

Note: Take the meaning of entities like God and Source any way that suits you the best.

"When you think that the God can't hear you, remember that professor is quiet during the exam." - That is a true saying. When there is silence in the middle of a thick storm, it doesn't necessarily mean we are alone. Thanks for this post @eneismijmich . Really encouraging

Great post. Without contrast life loses its meaning. Using temperature as an example, hot doesn't exist without cold and vice versa. Without variation temperature wouldn't exist. Same with happiness and every emotion we live.

Very insightful. The times when I sought God the most were when I was at the bottom. Being at the bottom sure makes you think, and learn, and grow wiser.

Adversity, overcoming emanate true, Excellent post I publish, Thanks
