Lesson from the Spirit

“You wade into the water up to your waist and wait.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Some people dive in immediately, some wait. Each has their own tactic, their own approach, but the water doesn’t change because of that.
You often compare each other, compare yourselves to someone else, thinking that someone is faster than you, stronger than you, greater than you. Forgetting that you all inhabit the same medium.
If someone is stronger than you, it means you perceive yourself that way; if someone is faster, it means you set that rhythm; if someone is wiser, it means your experience served the common good. When you begin to understand how the unified space works, it becomes easier to walk—not through the prism of comparing yourself to someone, but through the prism of uniting collective efforts. And you see light in another only because your own light is shining.

The truth is there is no mine and yours. There is only the shared desire to behold the true divine process of souls’ transformation, and the single, whole space.
You say you have much pain; that is only because you do not give that pain away, you do not distribute it.
Trying to take everything onto yourself does not lighten the path for you or anyone; you only try to move a rock, while only the hands of your clock move.

You do not see, you do not notice the difference in the pursuit of desire.
When you set the stone down and walk around it, you will see that beyond this hill is an endless sea of possibilities. But the more you take upon yourself, the larger that hill becomes, the wider it grows, the harder it is to go around, the longer your path will be.
Is that how it happens? No, you yourselves have intervened in this process.
Laying down certain lines, draw the figure—otherwise why do you need them? Do not be afraid to map out your road so as to encompass the whole way.
