Life is a Succession of Choices.

When all is said and done we are like farmers: as we sow we reap.
The seed is present and we have to feed, weed and water.
Life is a succession of choices in a succession of Earthly sojourns -
Until the cycle of birth and death ceases.

Demise of the Moul.

The moul is the Spirit acting out the feelings created by all its previous experiences.
When the moul stops feeling it is free of the consequences of all its experiences.
When the moul is free of all feeling it is that created in the image of The Great Spirit - the unadulterated ‘godself’, the ‘I am’, in all its glory.

Note:
1. Feelings are attachments.
2. The ‘I am’ (non-attached) + the moul (attachments) = earthling.

Old Age, the Body and Vanity.

In the self-designated First World of the so-called civilized peoples our vanity is such that we even have to find a euphemism for “old” in reference to the human body although, paradoxically, we make every effort to extend its life across the entire spectrum of possibilities.
The underlying flaw in all this is our excessive identification with our body as our main identity instead of viewing it for what it is - a temporary vehicle serving a temporary purpose; a vehicle we should accept, respect and nurture but not worship vaingloriously.
What is required for spiritual progress is non-attachment to the body in the course of attaining non-attachment to all things.

Words and Meanings.

The language of Spirit is wordless. Hence, to express the language of Spirit in words is fraught with difficulty. Similarly fraught with difficulty is the interpretation of the words of one by another where nuances of meaning vary with the individual.
Therefore, be cautious in ascribing meaning to the words of another and be tolerant of any perceived variance with what you hold to be the meaning.

Seeing One’s Reflection in Another.

It is often said that when we see something in another person we are seeing a reflection of ourselves; that we are seeing ourselves - or words to this effect.
The fact is that our existence as earthlings necessitates the latent existence in us of all human qualities and traits. However, it is only those of these qualities and traits that are active in us, or that we choose to activate, that we can see as reflections of ourselves.
Hence, not all that we see in others is a true reflection of ourselves.

Love.

Love is very much glorified, but remember this; there is love of self (selfish love), self-aggrandisement, love of money, position, power and so many more unethical and immoral things.
Love is a thing of this world of duality.

Despair of Life.

Not surprisingly, many despair of life as they see and experience it because they see life in terms of a single life, a single opportunity. In this context they see selfishness in all its manifestations occurring and often being rewarded or at least condoned. They see mans’ inhumanity to man rampant in a world where attempts to kerb it are at best largely ineffective or at worst, tokenistic; and they see injustice everywhere.
However, were they to be aware of the Reality they would see a world where all is geared to the glory of spiritual progress through the law of karma and where the only thing one might be sad about is the fact that some have earned, or are earning, painful or uncomfortable karma; but even this sadness is ameliorated by the awareness that the final result of this is positive.
