Cosmic Gardener – Cultivating a Life

Studying the teachings of an ancient Master, I was struck by their reflection that they had come to a point in their spiritual development that in their social interactions they were no longer distracted by the foibles of another’s human personalities. That they saw the inherent divinity in everyone, the common thread in the web of life. A simple, yet profound, and life altering concept.  An antidote, perhaps, for the extreme polarization so rampant in our world today.

It is, after all, another’s personality that generally engages us. Positively or negatively. The Master remembered that not only are we divine beings having a human experience, but that at our core, we are all connected through love.

Imagine, for a moment, a world in which at least some of us remembered our divine heritage. That we began to practice, with those nearest and dearest to us, not being distracted by their foibles. And that we began to see with new eyes.

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience;
we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
