Conflict and Harmony       

  Ideas about life
I was reading e-mail posts from several people expressing their thoughts and feelings about life. One person wrote that " The only problem is the physical against the spiritual. " Another wrote about the  saying that we are not physical beings in search of spiritual experiences, but spiritual beings seeking physical experience. One person wondered why we were alive  on Earth at all, And lastly someone  mentioned that there are always two sides to everything as confirming the concept of good vs Evil.

  My impulse as an  answer is to toss  a ball.
A sphere does not have sides  and is an expression of the harmony and fusion of all aspects of reality including those things we separate into concepts of good and evil,  or chaos and order, or love and hate,  A Buddhist term is mutual possession. When one thing cannot exist without the other thing then they are aspects of one.  The same sphere rather than opposites or separate objects .

  We are not engaged in a conflict. There are no opposite sides in some great battle of good and evil. This concept is a construct. A scaffold   that was in the past useful but now falls away as we have learned / built all we can from the concept of duality.
  Now we can  become aware of the concepts of harmony and fusion. Apparent
conflicts are in fact a way of applying balances, counter balance and offsetting tensions in order to build a creative  manifestation of divine expression.
  We are in fact always and eternaly beings of Spirit. This flesh we wear is
our choice out of compassion and intention to advance and evolve  the entire order of spiritual unfoldment. In order  to complete the divine plan of perfection .
  Especially so that we as spiritual entities may experience all  possable aspects  of existance for the greater glory of "GOD" (which is the Whole). This  is the expression and intent of the action of entering this physical plane.
  We enter life  by choice. We have both a personal  plan for lessons to learn and experiences we wish to have  and a mission, task  or goal to accomplish for the greatest universal Good  within the confines of this mundane world.

When we pass from these bodies the Angels first  ask not what we did   but what we learned. There are far more soul entities wanting to manifest lives on this Earth than there are spaces  bodies for them to fill. Therefore it is a great honor and delight to be among those who are at this moment manifest in bodies on this planet.
We Joyfully embrace the physical experience and the illusion of forgetfullness for if we remembered the true reality of our being we would not be able to focus on the experience of physical life that we  all incarnated to have.
