DON’T FIGHT WITH YOURSELF

DON’T FIGHT WITH YOURSELF

Published 24.03.2018 | By Йосиф

We are created after God’s likeness. There is a mass opinion that God is only love, good. But if everything existing is God, is it possible that the dark forces, the evil, are not from God? God is perfect, because he is balanced – all his elements are in harmony, in unity. Why does everybody try to be a bigger saint than God by trying to be only light and to get rid of everything they consider as a disadvantage? Isn’t it the typical dualistic thinking, which excludes one of the two opposites? How can we follow the middle, the golden path, if we choose only one of the two opposites? It is obvious that there is no middle path when there is only one side.
Let us imagine the following situation: you realize some defect of yours you want to get rid of. You try different ways, but there is no stable result. Then you get angry with yourself and get inferiority complex. Can you thus receive the so much desired peace and harmony? Instead of increasing good, aren’t you increasing evil with the low vibrations you generate?
Let us have a look at the opposite alternative. You decide to follow all the instructions and to become a saint. Every day you say prayers, you keep fast regularly or start eating only vegetarian food, you observe the Ten Commandments and you do only good things. You can see such people all over the world – ardent Christians, Muslims, Buddhists or occultists. But what is the final result of all this? Do those people become saints or become fanatics? Very often this fanaticism leads to killing the people like them, despite the God’s commandment – “Don’t kill”. And those who don’t kill, are they very different – don’t they try to kill the human consciousness? This is why the folk proverb says: “Temperance is good when it is temperate”, i.e. too much of a good thing. Don’t such people take upon themselves the task to generate people of their own kind? Can you hear from their mouth anything but reproach and criticism about your way of life?
It is obvious that one-sided approaches don’t give the desired result, but the dualistic thinking does not allow to unite opposites – or, or! And if we want to change ourselves we’ll have to learn exactly this – to unite the incompatible – incompatible according to the old point of view. It is really a time to be God’s likeness, i.e. the light and the darkness in us to be in harmony, in equilibrium.
How is it done? If we consider something dark, it has to be balanced with light. Universal light for all cases is love. We just love the darkness in ourselves and it just stops bothering us. I.e. we become calm and balanced. The more defects we manage to balance, the harder we can be brought out of the equilibrium. So you should keep an eye on every darkness in yourself, especially different fears and apprehensions, every concern. As soon as you notice them influencing you, don’t get angry with them as with uninvited guests, love them – at some time every darkness in you has made a good job. So do not forget to thank.
It is normal that when you direct your consciousness to something, you feed it with energy and it increases. When do you give more energy to an aspect of yours? When you are constantly angry with a defect and it always reminds of it? Or when you accept it as something normal, you love it and it stops being a problem for you, i.e. you stop directing your attention to it?
Is it possible to go proud with yourself or to become fanatical if you don’t imagine you are sinless? To live with the thought that it is normal to have defects, isn’t it a prerequisite to accept the other people with defects as equal, as brothers and sisters? And this is now a serious step to the Universal Oneness? Good luck!
