Since they are attached to the ground, plants are obliged to put up with heat, cold, wind and storms

"Since they are attached to the ground, plants are obliged to put
up with heat, cold, wind and storms. These are certainly
difficult conditions, but they grow and produce flowers all the
same. And their colours are so beautiful and their fragrance so
pleasant!
People on a spiritual path are, symbolically, exposed to the
same difficult conditions as plants. And yet these conditions are
far preferable to those chosen by lazy people, who stay safely in
their 'lofts'. Of course, in a loft seeds won't be exposed to bad
weather, but they run other much worse risks: they might go
mouldy, be eaten up by mice or maggots or, worst of all, not be
put to good use. And being useless is the worst fate there is.
Once planted in the spiritual life, humans meet with obstacles,
but at least they are on the right path: they grow, they stand up
for themselves and they create."

Transformation

When light pushes away the darkness, eventually another darkness shall come.




When the darkness itself is transformed into light, it is a light that no darkness can oppose.

Where the Answers Live

Think about a time in your life when you were so sure something was supposed to happen and then it didn’t happen. You got upset, frustrated, angry. 

Forget about the fact that when we look back three years later we see that same outcome as the best thing that ever happened to us. 

If things don’t go according to our plan, we need to be able to detach enough to recognize that we’re probably not seeing the whole picture. When we adopt a letting-go attitude we take off our blinders. Then it’s easier to tap into the realm where all the answers are; where everything we need exists. 

When we are so busy functioning in the fog of our 1% physical reality we often don’t think about going to the world beyond—the 99%—to access full information. And that’s why, no matter how smart we are we just can’t come up with the answer. 

There is a place in our consciousness where we can know the outcome of every situation. Probably every one of us has sensed this. But a lot of times we get stuck seeing what’s only in the physical realm, instead of trying to tap into the knowledge in the higher realm. 

(.....)

If you’re stuck in the 1% Realm you can’t get all the answers. But when you go to the 99% Realm you have access to all the information you need. 

We either live in the world of questions or we live in the world of answers. We either live in a world with no information or in a world with all of the information. For everyone on a spiritual path the point is to leave the world of questions, of uncertainty, of pain and suffering. We want to have access to the world of answers—the world of dreams. 

It’s a choice: Which universe do we want to live in?

Most humans have such limited notions of love

"Most humans have such limited notions of love that the moment a
man and woman meet they forget the whole world; nothing else
exists for them. They are not yet used to living love in a
broader way, and they impoverish it, mutilate it. It is no longer
divine love, the love that pours forth and showers all beings.
True love is a love that embraces all creatures without limiting
itself, without putting down roots next to any one. This is why
men and women should now be taught to have broader concepts, to
be less possessive and jealous: the husband must be delighted to
see his wife open her heart to the whole world, and the wife also
must be happy that her husband is so bighearted. It doesn't stop
them from staying faithful to each other. When two truly evolved
people marry, right from the beginning they allow each other this
mutual freedom. Each delights in being able to love all creatures
with the greatest purity. The wife understands her husband, the
husband his wife, and they both rise, walking together toward
heaven, for they live the true, boundless life."
