Only People

A simple seeker was trying to visualize the different stages of personaal spiritual development, such as transcendence and integration of the capacity and potential of the human attributes of emotion, thought, justice, and mercy, as symbolized on the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

She was also deeply puzzled by the feeling that Spirit seemed to encourage her struggle without …

“Without what?”

“You don’t seem to think that I’ll ever fully understand.”

“Understand what?”

“Life.”

“What would understanding Life look like?”

“Total awareness.”

“Total awareness of what?”

“Of why people are, or seem to be, the way they are.”

“Only people?”

……..

A simple seeker’s note to herself

I wonder what Spirit meant by “Only people?”

“Did that push a button?”

“Yes. I still can’t figure you out.”

“In what way?”

“It doesn’t seem to make sense that you would bother with me.”

“Why?”

“There must be tens of thousands of people who would learn more quickly than I ever might, what you have to teach or share.”

“Is there a difference?”

“With teach or share?”

“Yes.”

“To teach suggests a form of schooling, with intent to instill knowledge within the mind of the student.”

“And share?”

“Perhaps a desire to pass on to some others the awareness and understanding that is of value to you, with no interest in personal gain.”

“With whom?”

“With those who seem willing to learn, and seem to benefit from what you have learned.”

“Do you appreciate and seem to benefit from my sharing with you what has been shared with me?”

“Yes, very much so.”

“That’s all I ask.”
