Degrees

The human soul learns in strange ways. Has it ever happened to you that after a very long time things  you were so very sure of suddenly turn out to be totally the opposite? Often this happens in human relationships-we willingly fail to see reality. I suppose all depends on the perspective from where we observe the situation from. Just tilt it a few degrees left or right it gets to get an entire new meaning- the picture becomes unrecognizable  and its interpretation is completely the opposite of what you originally would have bet your life on.  

 This is the reason why we have so many opinions of many things, and change our mind often in midstream. However; when we believe something whole heartedly – we refuse to move to that left or right, for it serves our purpose- makes us feel good and often it makes us feel appreciated which we so much crave, above all it feeds our ego.  

 Often more it  fills that empty hole in our hearts that is akin to all humans. The human heart is the center on which our whole existence pivots  – it reflects our emotional and spiritual lives which to me is the purpose of life-the purpose of creation.

At times I have read something numerous times and suddenly one  day, as if the some intervention from some higher force, I  may read  the same passage, may see a photograph yet see it all with  new eyes, understand  the words with an entirely new meaning . It is the same with people. It is a form of awakening.  Human nature is so extraordinary when it comes to seeing the truth.  The human being is structured, or rather created in such a way that it always sees what one wants to see, for often the heart will eclipse all else that it should see. But always, the human heart is the ultimate interpreter of our temporal existence –even the eyes of the higher self and  even that dogged ego takes a back seat to it. We can be captured so easily through emotions that open up the heart –and we are totally lost within the feelings, experience and emotions. Human nature`s first, ultimate desire is to be wanted, to be appreciated, to be protected- in essence to be loved for the sake of “self” unconditionally.

Sometimes it takes us time to actually see the clear reality, for when one believes, trusts and admires an other irrespective of their faults many areas lie in the fog of  “willing blindness”. Authenticity, truth, honesty, sincerity, loyalty is possessed by very few, for it is a function of grace, which is a God given gift- which is totally unselfish, faithful  and compassionate. It is freely giving of oneself , it is just, it understands, forgives and is  merciful. It is entirely devoid of ego.

We all have numerous flaws, faults, quirks , quarks and  irritating pet peeves – but dishonesty and lies go far beyond  all the negative personality traits- it is deficiency of grace; especially in the light of when one professes spiritual superiority.If one talks the talk, one should have the courage, backbone, courage and integrity to walk the walk.
