When we seek affirmation for a thought process, an answer always seems to follow shortly thereafter. My fundamental belief is that harmony is equivalent to mediocrity. I have to agree with you on your insights into the quest for peace. Even though I believe that we are not here to essentially to learn, I do believe that we need disruption n our physical lives, in order that we may create platforms from which to grow. The old saying, "you can't experience the highs without experiencing the lows, and vice versa", really applies here. The theory of true empathy, I believe, applies her as well; how can you feel someone else's pain or pleasure, without having experienced it yourself. We are, for all intents and purposes, intensely physical beings - by pure virtue of the fact that we have chosen this "physical realm" in order that we may experience stimuli on a physical level; and the physical experiences primarily through physical or mental external influences. Even though I am not advocating that people who create "more drama" in their lives are more spiritual, I tend to find that entities that challenge barriers (who I'm sure are seen to be the quintessential "drama queens", and not to seek attention) are the ones who require a physical "kick start" so that they may create an action, which causes the reaction, and therefore, the obligatory experience. I believe that these "upheavals" that we make our reality, are the very same processes which allow us the opportunity to gain empirical knowledge (insight through experience) and allow us to become who we are meant t be. I'm sure that the people, who cause the disturbances in their lives, are the ones that believe that there is another "dimension" or appropriate power, outside of their physical existence. The reason I say, at the beginning of my post, that affirmation is always realised, is that this subject has been at the forefront of my mind for quite a while now, and most 'spiritually-inclined' people I speak to are unyielding in their belief that, "the meaning of spirituality is striving to achieve a harmonious state, or peace, on Earth". So, thank you so much for facilitating this predication for me. It always helps to know there is substance to your thoughts. With light Christopher Hi Lexi,
Isn’t the universe an incredible playground? When we seek affirmation for a thought process, an answer always seems to follow shortly thereafter.
