It's a Balance Trick

Following Buddha on the Middle Way

Once you discover the spiritual realms and the beauty they hold you may be tempted to stay there. On the other hand, the majority of humanity only trusts science and is completely unaware of our spiritual nature as a species. Both sides ran their car into the ditch. Both directions are unsatisfying for our experience. Both are unaligned with our core. It’s all about balance, it's a balance trick.

I would love to share this quote from a documentary about Confucius with you talking about the belief system of his contemporaries:

There is no created God. There is nothing like the idea of a supreme power that dreams everything into being. What it posits instead is this notion that there are two cosmic forces, they are not even really divine, they are just natural forces, a bit like gravity in a sense. On the temple here [Temple of Heavens in Bejing] you have perhaps the most common, the most powerful symbols of those two great forces. That is the dragon, the heavenly force and the Phoenix, which is the female, the earthly force. They are locked in perpetual struggle, they try to overcome each other. It is this incredible dance of power out of which all life pours. Humanity is fundamental to this. You have got those two great cosmic forces and our role is to keep the balance.

That balance between those great cosmic forces is in you. You will find it once you have balanced yourself out. Once you have regulated your emotions, once you have found your core and center. Then you will feel heaven and Gaia meeting in your vessel and it allows you to tap deep into Oneness. If you are curious about such an experience, I recommend you to listen to the channel - this is just an intro.

I might sound a little high in the recording because I was. I haven’t taken any substances though, those connections to the divine are just so f*** blissful!
