Giant problems, quiet solutions.

Monday, April 24, 2023

Inside of every contentious problem lies a peaceful resolution. That’s why it has been said, “Blessed are the peace-makers.” That’s the wonderful “game” of the universe, finding peaceful answers from within. If there were no solution implicit in every problem, how would you ever know it was problematic in the first place? This is the game of dichotomies. The fun of life is trying to uncover solutions with a peaceful, cheerful disposition. Life wants you to enjoy finding the solutions. It’s a playful form of hide-and-seek. Here’s the key, solutions don’t come by busying yourself, juggling all of your sorrows and worries all day. That’s suppression.

The creative mind stops, is still, and empty, yet eager to find a way forward, even when the obstacle appears as a giant. All giants are bluffs. If the setback seems impenetrable, then concede. Never confront a giant. He’ll eat you alive. You diminish the giant by retreating into your chamber, your holy of holies. This could be a room, a quiet place outdoors that you like, or just right where you are. Whatever helps you fall within, into that quiet, secret chamber of ideas. The best ones will gently float to the top, and will provide you with the answers, even if it means that you accept that you cannot change your circumstances. If the solution doesn’t come, wait in hopeful vigilance until it does. Do not let the giant steal your peace.

Giants are illusions of the physical dimension that move you into the truth of the spiritual dimension. Go within. Giants will help you creatively think your way out of every jam. Life will flow again, if you clear the obstacle with peace, rather than trying to beat it with force. There is no giant. The path through and around every illusory giant is one of a deep spiritual nature.
