This is synchronicity at work...I was pondering on my way to sleep last night that when we talk about balancing and honoring the female/male within, or thinking about light/shadow within, or good/evil, that really we are attempting to reconcile the duality we perceive in reality, the dichotomy that exists within our very own brains, left and right, with a large crevasse between them and very few bridges that connect them; that many neurological problems that mystics have (hypersensitivity, migraines, seizures, TMJ) stem from the "newer" part of our brains, and that our evolution work is to develop the bridges that help both sides of the brain communicate--most of our brain functions are not on one side or the other, but spread out, diffuse. We have been working on a model of either/or, but the true model is both/and. This is why, as wonderful as plant medicine is at opening our perceptions, we are usually called to produce the same effects in our own brains through meditation and shamanic practices--which takes years. It takes work to build the bridges out of matter not simply perception...something to ponder, Beloveds. ~Spiritwalking

How Can People Be Deeply Spiritual and Emotionally Immature? | Spirituality
"A spiritual path opens you to the 10,000 joys and to the 10,000 sorrows.
It cracks the heart open to weep at the loss of species. It allows you
to honorably feel the tears that you carry from your own personal trauma
or from the death and loss or tragedy around you personally and more
broadly. But we can also become loyal to our suffering. And suffering,
while it’s vast and can be tended with great compassion, is not the end
of the story. The end of the story is love and freedom. And this is
possible for you. We don’t do it by ignoring the suffering around us,
but by knowing that who we are and what this life is, is greater than
that."~Jack Kornfield
