Black and White

I see love and the absence of love everywhere I go. It's almost as if I am wearing glasses that turn the present reality into a photographic negative. It's black and white and all shades of grey. The shadows or blackness are merely the lack of light or love.

We operate in our black zone and our white zone and often times in many shades of our grey zones. Don't we? None of us can honestly say that we operate in our white zone all the time, can we?

When we are living in the now we are operating out of love. When we are in ego, or focused on the past or future, we cannot transmit love. It's as though we have temporarily stepped out of our earth suits and are not present.

How often do we start out our day with every good intention of being loving and patient and kind (of operating in our white zone) and within half an hour we have got caught up in some egotistical tussle or locking horns with someone over something insignificant and we find we have switched zones. The white light, that is love, temporarily stops transmitting

Do you ever feel hypocritical? I do!

Do you sometimes feel like a push-me-pull-you. For those of you not familiar with Dr Seuss, a push-me-pull-you is a Siamese twin-like character. The one half of the person pulls to the right whilst the other half pulls left. We have every intention of eating healthy today and then we succumb to the temptation of a chocolate. We have set our intentions to be patient and find ourselves blowing off steam at the slightest provocation.

Aren't we all inherently good? We are all full of white light. It's just that sometimes we don't transmit it so brightly and other times we don't transmit it at all. Why is it shameful to lose our composure and make mistakes? Is it not out of these very mistakes that better judgement is born?

Don't we all deserve to have second chances. Imagine a world of having all your mistakes rubbed into your face at every turn. Don't we deserve to change our minds as often as we like without anyone counting. Wouldn't it be sad to be told that you are a hypocrite because you acted such and such a way and now that is how you are perceived to be from now to eternity? You made your bed, now lie in it!

Didn't all sages became wise through their mistakes? Each bull's eye hit is the result of a hundred misses.

Our judgements can only become wrong to us when we shift our perspective and hence our views .Through experience and growth our judgements become better, so there really are no bad judgements, just better ones. We have to get out there and not be ashamed of making a fool of ourselves, of venturing an opinion today that may shift tomorrow. After all we are all works in progress.

So this week, my friend

I wish you a quiver full to over flowing with arrows
the heart to succeed
and the will to never give up trying!
Dust yourself off when you fail
and be quick to forgive yourself

You are beautiful! Don't ever doubt it!

all my love and white light to illuminate your path
