42nd Weekly Thought:

Structure and Flexibility

We are human beings and as such we are learning. Learning is done most of the time by trial and error; so mistakes are a part of the learning and living process. Most of us had learnt, that we are not allowed to make mistakes … and due to this we are not really growing.

Life gives us both the structure and the needed flexibility to sustain and grow. First of all, we feel this physically. As long as we are healthy, we are able to maintain our body and adapt to changing situations. However, this is not done by our mind but by the self within us.

If we try to achieve this with our ego, it most often goes wrong; we become physically ill and mentally hardened, disappointed, blinded and thus mentally ill and/or lose our social, living attitude.

We get and maintain structure through logic, beliefs, habits, etc. Flexibility enables us to integrate new impressions and situations.

If we leave both to our Higher Self, we will constantly grow and come closer to our inner goal. And this is very individual!!!

We have all experienced this: two different people have a well-functioning logic and yet the result is very different because of the different backgrounds. Therefore, instead of arguing about "the truth", it is advisable to first listen to and accept the other person's point of view.

Life itself is structuring and in the same moment flexible. And this life is inside of each of us! What we can see and also experience is, the more we are really living the more we are structuring our life by ourself (in relation with the circumstances) and being flexible when change comes or is needed. And we do not see ourselves as victims but living!
