When I saw the following quote, I smiled, but also knew immediately that I needed to comment on it.
~
“The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.” – Sigmund Freud
~
Freud and Reich both contributed to the development of modern thinking. It seems both viewed the glass of life as half empty. Psychology seemed to them to be the study of what was wrong with people. Even the quote here views civilization from that sort of angle. With respect for the contributions they did make, it is important to recognize that the perspective misses the fundamental point.
~
The glass of life is rooted in fullness. Divinity underlies all things and all processes. Lack of health is, in that regard, not the engine of life. Health is the engine of life.
~
We must not lose our way to the extent that our viewpoint turns life upside down. Divinity underlies all things and to understand anything, one must begin with that understanding. Living life in harmony with the true nature of things is to live in accord with that law of nature.
~
Prana, the Divine Breath of Life, interacts with Karma to create Mind. It is said that the enlightened mind is a state of no mind. What that means is that one has awoken to the truth of life’s essence, and lives from that place of Divinity within.
~
Otherwise, one sees reflections of truth, hears echoes of truth, and perceives them as truth. The path is indeed a subtle one.
It is well explained about most of the religion and cultivation group in this day of age what they have practiced as their reality. subtle difference make big difference. thanks,
