Hello, Thomas

I have thought on both topics…

Incidentally yesterday I reread an older poem in which part of was:
"How did I get here?
How did I dream awake?"

Sometime ago it occurred to me sometimes to look at life as if it were a dream. The impetus may have been that I like dream interpretation at times. It occurs to me strongly with some experiences: such as seeing full spider webs with the spider right in the center, in very direct view. Once there was one in my car as I opened the door! Another in a window pane not too long after. I thoroughly appreciated the intricacy and skill used in their crafting.

Some time after that a spider cocooned itself behind my front door and emerged some weeks later…it walked all fluffy and new out into the world again. Actually I may ‘interpret’ it as blessing that my children and I witnessed event of the molting, after checking on the spider faithfully every day.

On the second topic: it seems you are entertaining two perspectives on Life. Maybe you are thinking they cannot both exist? Yet something in you keeps tugging at you to keep pondering?

I too have pondered exactly: If I create love does that mean its opposite will be created to keep balance?

It occurred to me that the positive and the negative are the opposite poles themselves. Love and hate, good and bad, abundance and lack. These are some specific forms, although etheric, of creation. I, as many and as you, feel we are revealing ourselves to be conscious creators to choose our experience.

Yet I feel there is a united presence ‘beneath’ these poles, if you will. What is the common denominator, so to speak? There are many names for it. Life, ‘Love’, Spirit, God, Creation, Existence etc. This is the ‘stuff’ that remains and, I feel, is constant, no matter what positive or negative form we choose to make from it to experience.

In the end, personally, and despite oscillation, I keep with my instincts on what I want to create. What does the heart desire, what makes the heart and spirit come alive? Am I confusing fear-intention with heart-intention? How do I transition, etc? I feel answering these questions keeps us in direct line with what our expanded selves desire to experience.

Love
