Balance

I have always believed in a balanced universe. That the positive (good) energies are balanced out by the negative (bad) energies. As we grow and become more positive the negative energies have less effect on us. I also believe that our goals are to ascend, for the lack of a better term to the higher dimensions.

Last night however this got me thinking. If it is possible to ascend in the positive direction could someone ascend in the negative direction? Is this where demons and such come from. Are they more than the near mindless sub-astrals I’ve talked about before?

I know in the past that there has been a battle between the positive and negative energies. This is what the bible has documented as the battle between heaven and hell. A battle that most of us are stuck between today.

I questioned on if it was equally valid to ascend to the negative energy? What is it the makes the positive energies better than the negative ones?

As I learn more about the universe and myself I can understand more, but it opens so many question. I know in my heart that for me ascension to the positive energy to the light is the right path for me, but are there people and souls out there where the path to the negative energies and to the dark is the right path? If so what does that mean for us on our spiritual path?

I know this is a little different than my normal post but it was just something that I need to put out there. I think that this could make an interesting discussion point and I hope you put your thought in.

Pandemic

Over the last while there has been a lot of discussion in the new regarding the Avian/Bird flu (H5N1) and a pandemic if the flu were to mutate to a human to human transmittable virus. Last night my wife and I had a discussion around this issue and some of what came out of that discussion I want to share here.

She asks, "Why are so many people worried about this?" My answer, "because over half of the people who have been infected with it have died." (115 Deaths in 205 cases, WHO).
She asks, "So that would mean that at least one of us would die? Does that no concern you?"My answer, "Not really."

So why don't I worry about a virus that possible could wipe out half the worlds population and could kill a lot of my family?  Because I don't honestly thing it will.  It's being watched very carefully and there is a lot of work going on to make sure it doesn't happen.  Also it is not happening.  I'm not one to worry until the event is on us.

That being said, my wife also asked if my beliefs had a part in my not worrying and they do.  I know that dying is not a bad thing.  Dying is just a transition and one I'm not scared of taking.  If it was my family and not me that died would I not feel sad?  Likely, but deep down I understand that they have continued their journey that the events that led to their deaths were part of a learning for them.  I don't believe in mourning the dead.  Mourning is for the living.

I also believe that all illnesses and other negative situations in our lives are caused on a spiritual/energetic level and not on the physical level.  The reason you get sick is because of a spiritual lesson you need to learn, a karma you need to work our and a past life you need to release.  If you are able to obtain you spiritual healing then the illnesses or situation will resolve itself in the manner that you spiritually require.

I believe that fear comes from the lack of knowledge and understanding.  Fear comes from the unknown.  A pandemic although may have unknown components to it, I know one a spiritual level where they come from and how to deal with them.  There for no fear.

Even if you can not shine a physical light on something and understand it or tell how future events will unfold, if you shine your spiritual light on it, even though all the answer will not be there, you will understand and the fear will lift.

Spiritual understanding is the true source of understanding, the true way to remove fear from our lives and in the end the only understanding that matters.

Finding time for the Spirit

As you might have noticed it has been a while since my last post. I recognize this but I'm not going to get into the habit of saying sorry because I don't post. After all I don't get paid for doing this and ultimately I write because I get enjoyment out of it and if I have to force it I think my posts will suffer and some times my real life gets in the way.

Many of us live what we consider to be busy lives. We struggle to find a balance between work, play, family and spirit. Each is important to us for different reasons so finding and justifying a balance can be very difficult. Over the past couple of weeks, I have been busier than normal and the number of my posts here has fallen off. As well, my focus on my spirit has fallen to side as well.

But it doesn't have to and in a way it doesn't truly fall to the side. After all our spirit should be and is part of our every day life. How we respond to traffic or a decision in not only logical and emotional but spiritual as well. We can keep spirit in our every day by bringing it into our every day. By that I don't mean going around telling all your co-workers your beliefs, but it is rather living them. When you respond to the traffic jam are you doing so in a spiritual way? For most of us it not likely. Well take that extra second and respond in the correct way. The same when you are faced with a decision, be it a moral decision or a more logical decision, take your spirit into account. It is a choice that spiritually sound?
Spiritually is more than saying we believe something. It is how we live our lives and treat those around us. It is apart of us. If what we do and what we say don't match than either out actions or words are lying.

Love and Light,
Terry
