Comment on Reconciliation by madonnatella

it seems necessary to name the poles of the duality you describe well.
“On one hand there are manifestations that range from egoistic ambitions to total indifference, and on the other, this intense openness to something higher in me and the wish to serve it.”
in my opinion there is no contradiction or duality and there is nothing that needs to be consoled.
of myself i have said “in me are present two extremely distant persons which situation could also be described as ‘polarity’: marilyn monroe on the one hand,a tibetan monk on the other side”.
i have learned there is no contraposition,distinction,polarity,duality. nothing has to be consoled.
rather we have “oneness” here,ready to be fully experienced.

I like the way you put this …
Uneasy Street – an important aspect of the spiritual life because it serves as a reminder of the Other.

Hi Luke.Vacation time here in southern hemisphere, more reading and family time and less internet( at least for me). I agree, a great book. I finished “Threads of time” by Peter Brook, a long time follower of Gurdjieff´s teaching and the director of meetings with remarkable men. Interesting.
And yours really a great journey.Enjoyed the photos.

Thanks for sharing the images of your journey. I guess the impressions of these places will linger on in you for a long time. I find the Ajanta and Ellora caves especially inspiring and will find out more about them.

Thank you, Whitney. Yes, I certainly felt what you describe here. I’m a Canadian living in Toronto, and by comparison with a country like India, we are incredibly young in our history. India is an ancient civilization that maintains an unbroken tradition. What I notice most of all in India is how their religious traditions are embedded into their daily life, whether through ritual, waking up the Mother Ganges in the morning and putting it to sleep at night for example, or small reminders (holy cows, calls to prayer from the Muslim faith, bells, temples, roadside shrines etc.) that “the whole” is always there and that we are a part of something much greater than “I, Me, and Mine.”

Warm regards,

Luke
