True Balance Is Inner Balance

“Life is chaotic, with so many things to do, and so many places to go. And in all the outer activity we lose our sense of balance, be that ecological, health, or work-life balance. The inner balance is what Osho calls, ‘true balance.’

Osho says, ‘Life has to be lived in all its dimensions, only then is a life rich. Balance is something that comes out of the experience of all the dimensions of life.

Balance is something that HAPPENS; it is not something that can be BROUGHT. If brought, it will be false, forced, and if you bring it you will remain tense, you will not be relaxed, because how can a man who is trying to remain balanced, in the middle, be relaxed? He will always be afraid: if he relaxes he may start moving towards the left or towards the right—he is bound to remain uptight. And to be uptight is to miss the whole opportunity, the whole God-given gift.

I don’t teach you the middle way: I teach you the total way. And then a balance comes of its own accord. And then that balance has tremendous beauty and grace—you have not forced it, it has Come. By moving gracefully to the left, to the right, in the middle, slowly slowly, a balance COMES to you, because you remain so unidentified.

When sadness comes you know it will pass, and when happiness comes you know it will pass too. Nothing remains. Everything passes by. The only thing that always abides is your witnessing. That witnessing brings balance. That witnessing is balance.

In our logical minds, balance happens between opposite things. In reality, balance means the disappearance of the opposition, the two becoming one, their diametrically opposite ways merging into one, melting into one reality. That is balance, true balance.’  Osho”

Non-Attachment in Buddhism

“In Buddhism, non-attachment is a mental state that involves interacting with our experiences, thoughts, and feelings without trying to control or fixate on them. It means not getting stuck on specific outcomes or clinging too tightly to desires, fears, or self-concepts.

The Buddha taught that our self-concepts are impermanent and subject to change. We must not hold onto fixed ideas of who we are, our thoughts, or our feelings too tightly and embrace ‘non-attachment to self.’

Embracing this fluidity reduces suffering and enhances personal growth as it cultivates a life free from the pressures and anxieties of needing things to be a certain way. This enhances our ability to deal with life’s inevitable changes and challenges, allowing us to live more fully and with greater ease in the world.”

Keep A Balance With Mental, Spiritual, And Physical Needs

“Our souls are here with our personalities, and our intentions help or hinder soul growth, as in Cayce’s channeling below:

‘While mind is the builder, it is the purpose, the intent with which an individual applies self mentally, that brings those physical results into materiality. And these should be kept in coordination (equal in rank) one with another.  Be not deceived, God is not mocked; whatsoever a man sows, that must he or she also reap. And with what measure you measure out to others; it will be measured to you again.

In the physical body, be mindful to keep proper eliminations. As in the experience of most individuals during the elderly portion of the life, the lagging of this or that phase of the  eliminating activity finds its reaction in the body-forces.

Thus, as has been the stress for this body: Budget the time, so that the spiritual and mental has its periods of recreation. Budget so that the mental has those relaxations, those periods of stimulation, those periods of social activity that are ever creative. These keep a balance.’ (257-252)

In this directive, Cayce gives several of his key teachings.

  • What goes around, comes around.
  • Budget time for spiritual and mental needs.
  • The second commandment to love one another is as important as the first.  We are to be interacting with others in creative ways, never destructive.
  • Balance!  Over and over Cayce taught that life needs to be well-balanced, for it is unhealthy for us to focus on one activity to the neglect of others.  Our souls entered physical life intentionally but are expecting mental and spiritual recreation and stimulation.”

Life Moves In Waves

Lately, I’ve been reminded that life moves in waves… sometimes gentle, sometimes wild, but always flowing. I’m learning to trust that even when things feel uncertain, there’s a rhythm to it all, a quiet assurance that what’s meant for me is already finding its way.

There’s something beautiful about softening into trust, about knowing that even in the still moments, something is growing. Sweetness comes when we make space for it. Abundance flows when we open our hands instead of clenching them.

And love? Love is always around, in a laugh, in a deep breath, in the way the sun feels against the skin. So today, I’m choosing ease. I’m choosing joy, even in small doses. I’m choosing to move like water, to stay open, to let the blessings unfold however they’re meant to.

If you needed this reminder, take it. You are seen. You are loved. And everything is working out in ways you can’t yet imagine.

All Things Exist In The Human Imagination

“When I say all things exist in the human imagination, I mean infinite states; for everything possible for you to experience now, exists in you as a state of which you are its operant power.

Only you can make a state come alive.  You must enter a state and animate it in order for it to out-picture itself in your world.

You may then go back to sleep and think the objective fact is more real than its subjective state into which you have entered; but may I tell you: all states exist in the imagination.

When a state is entered subjectively, it becomes objective in your vegetable world, where it will wax and wane and disappear; but its eternal form will remain forever and can be reanimated and brought back into being through the seed of contemplative thought.

So I tell you: the most creative thing in you is to enter a state, and believe it into being.”

Neville Goddard (February 19, 1905 – October 1, 1972) was a new thought author and mystic born in Saint Michael, Barbados.                   ———————         ———–———— “What is New Thought?  It is a spiritual movement that started in the United States in the early 19th Century.  New Thought thinkers usually wrote about the relationship between consciousness, thought, and belief in the human mind.  As well as the effects of these within and beyond the human mind.

Goddard, one of the pioneers of the law of attraction immigrated to New York City in 1922, where he began to study under a rabbi who introduced him to the Kabbalah.

Goddard viewed the Bible as a tale of the human psyche as opposed to a clean record of historical events.  He believed to truly get the essence of it, one has to interpret it as a manual to enlightenment and personal power.

Goddard’s thinking, therefore, is often compared to solipsism (the view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist and is godlike), nondualism, and Advaita Vedanta, a branch of Hindu philosophy.”
