What is the difference between being and becoming?

 

 

Evolution … transformation of the self into new levels of being.

 

Involution … I bring into my consciousness my higher being and the spirit of the Kosmos.

Am I evolving?  

Who to?

What happens when involution and evolution meet?

Am I unfolding?

From what?

There is a risk in moving to a new position… the intermediate state is one of imbalance and precariousness. Is it worth taking the risk?

What might the evolution of the human race lead to?

 

I am growing beyond myself… will I fall off?

Evolution … in trying to make meaning of myself in a world where there is inconsistent meaning,  I create a new self which sees the world in a different way.

What is the main game of life?

Involution… the stillness that enters me, the knowing that is my birth-right, the creativity  that energizes my life and feeds my passion.

 

Being far from equilibrium has its own attractions.

 

There are times I need to consolidate and integrate and others when I need to extend. I trust I will know when these times are.

It is what you don’t see here that is important.

 

Let me be for the minute. I want to enjoy the place where I am before the next rush of stretching myself.

 

I would like to grow with you. I am afraid I might grow out of needing you.

What does the shape of becoming look like?

I am balanced here. Don’t move. I might fall.

Perturb me. I want to be jostled into uncomfortability so I can grow.

 

When I grasp for the infinite outside of me, the world is my object. When I see the infinity that is within me, the world is my subject.

 

How well do we support ourselves in our own evolution?

Remind me, what does being stretched beyond my comfort zone feel like, I have forgotten.

My biggest challenge is learning to love and appreciate who I was before who I am now. I wouldn’t be here without her experiences.

Involution… enlightenment attuned to one’s evolution.

 

Evolution … brief moments - so sought after, so wrenching - yet when attained, seamlessly integrate as if they had never been.

I need to be still to feel the blossoming of my inner soul, yet I need to move to extend myself. Can I remember to do both?
