Veils are not Walls

Veils are not walls, and yet they can appear to be.

The ancient wise ones may always have known that there are veils between the many worlds of reality, and these teachers of timeless wisdom would also have known that veils were necessary to protect both those above and those below the two sets of veils that exist between the many worlds of Mind.

The world of sleep is separate from the world of daily living. We need time out to unwind and reflect on the day’s activities. Our eyes close, and sleep takes us behind the veil that separates the light of the physical, living day, in which we, more or less, directed our own thoughts, emotions, and activities, and the night of surrender to powers beyond our control.

Dreams invite themselves, or are they sent from wherever, or caused by whatever? And yet these dreams are not mass-produced, but are uniquely designed for one mind, even if many more minds than one share similar dreams.

So, what has that to do with veils between worlds of higher wisdom? As above, so below – this seeming wisdom polarity does not refer to sameness but to a correlation between higher and lower aspects, degrees, levels, stages of worlds of thought and emotion.

Who sang that song about learning music (or anything else) that goes, “Let’s start at the very beginning. It’s a very good place to start …”? And yet, for all intents and purposes related to our consciously lived existence, perhaps there was no beginning, and so we start where are are, now.

Veils exist between what we once knew and what we now know and are, and what we might yet know, and become. Veils exist, if only in our minds. We separate Grade One from Grade Two, and yet, what we learned in Grade One formed a foundation for what we learned in Grade Two. There is both separation and continuity.

Life goes on in stages that blend and become as one. Veils separate past from future, and we are between these two veils. Perhaps, there’s no other place to be?

A Journal of a journey, with Spirit as my guide, using the wisdom of I Ching, an ancient explanation of change as a necessary part of life, to understand Life, and where, how, and why my life has developed as it has, and where do I go from here, and how, and why. My mission, purpose, or desire is to share my struggle toward and passion for enlightenment, without having a clear idea of what it will look like when I find it, and I intend to find it, sooner or later. Meanwhile I seem to be struggling toward enlightenment without a clear road map, unless Spirit, my constant companion (did He invite himself along, for laughs, perhaps?) is hiding it from me, for whatever reason. Vancouver, BC Canada is the only place I care to live, in this world. Perhaps it's not entirely by choice. My name is carved into a nearby sidewalk, as if to remind me where I belong. I am blessed to have Spirit as a teacher. Just ask him.
