Logan Browning Instagram – war. what is it good for? truly nothing? does it serve a purpose for humanity? (this was the question posed in today’s service) one thing is certain: much of the human condition is to experience conflict opposing forces are the nature of creation. we cannot have lightness without darkness, good without evil, thesis without antithesis. as the world turns we are constantly experiencing lightness and darkness. if there was only light, the world would be formless. light and shadow create shape. opposing forces create time, space, motion and all of the things we know in our physical world. shadow play is God’s work. suffering is the prod of remembrance. it is how we are reminded of our eternal home and true nature. we cannot erase one of these opposing forces. the two coexist as a part of creation as we know it. we make our dutiful efforts, but have a limited ability to change the outside world. we do, however, have an unlimited ability to change our inner world. we must storm the inner citadels of anger, wrath and egotism. we do this by meditating. 1. don’t pick fights 2. choose your battles wisely & know when to walk away 3. go forward with love 4. win the inner battlefield of the mind and heart remaining gentle and kind takes strength. above all, remain poised as you reign over your inner kingdom of peace. ☮️☯️🌐🌏🌕🌑🫧🌊 (this is not my commentary on the conflict in the Middle East. these are notes from a spiritual service)
