Easing Into Greater Balance

I want to say a little more about the situation of human encroachment. There are many of us here on Earth and we all need to live places - I know that, I live near the water myself.

We must recognize that our world has held together as long as it has because of balance. Not only our own balance which we must demonstrate on a daily basis being both spiritual and mental - and then of course there are also our feelings self and our physical self as well as being inspired and instinctual yes - but because of all other forms of life here.

I know some of you are musically inclined and you know what it sounds like when there are instruments missing from a band or singers missing. It doesn't sound right. Sometimes the feeling is downright uncomfortable.

That's what's going on here now and there gets to be a point doesn't there when someone playing the triangle, beautiful though it may be, is not enough to carry the tune for the whole orchestra. We are that triangle.

We have beauty in our human culture, we have joy, we have much happiness but we also have tragedy. We have troubles and we have challenges and much more.

What helps us to continue to exist here. Yes Creator, yes spirit - no question about that. Our own resources, what we can do and invent, all of that and yet - it is ultimately balance. And that balance has to do with all other life forms including animal, mineral and vegetable. These life forms are essential to the balance of Earth.

This Earth was created not only for us and regardless what it says in books of value and philosophies that I respect - I believe and I have been taught that this Earth was created equally for us all - not for only one species.

I believe we are here to learn that not because we haven't understood it in previous lives, not because our spirits in their total being don't understand it, not because this is some kind of nursery school for people who are slow to evolve but rather because we may someday have a gift given to us and that is the gift of the great teaching.

Those of you who are teachers out there - you have had those magical moments when your students get it or even individual students get something and you see the magical expression in their face. They understand it and their whole life changes as a result.

Someday, I believe, we will be presented with that in order to be able to teach and experience the joy of the teacher working with students. In order to do that we will need to know just exactly what to do, how to do it. We will need to have patience which we are all here to learn. We will need to be able to know when to correct, know when to praise and to know when to be kind which is vitally important.

I am hopeful we will all get there and in order to get there we also have to learn how to be good students. One of the things I've been able to learn in this life is lessons from animals, lessons from plants, lessons from stone as well as the lessons I've received from spirit and of course human beings. In my experience this form of balance is so vitally important.

So - lets allow the sea beings to have their home in the water, lets allow the plant beings to have their home in the soil in the land. Lets allow the air beings to have their flights in the sky. Lets allow the earth beings to live underground and lets live in balance with them all.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
