On spiritual seekers…
There are two types of seekers in the area of spirituality, as I see it.
One is of those who are afraid of people, of relationships, of love, generally speaking. They choose the ”path of meditation”, or the path of intelligence, as it is called. The second type is of those who are afraid of themselves, of loneliness, of death, of void. They choose the ”path of love”, or the path of the heart, of devotion, as it is called. For some, it is easier to work hardly, to travel by themselves, to be ”independent”, to think, to be detached, and so on and so forth…For others, it is easier to surrender, to allow themselves to ”go with the flow”, or with God, if we use the Christian terminology, to love, to be with others, to dance, to get involved, and so on and so forth…
The path of meditation can be called also as the path of water, because water is cold, yin, is going inwards, unto the empty spaces, and it is like a mirror. The path of love can be called also as the path of fire, because the fire is hot, it is yang, it’s going outwards, seems to be looking for the solid objects, to give them his light and warmth.
The essence of fire is generosity and the essence of water is receptivity.
There is one more category, nevertheless, which is pretty rare, in my opinion. It is of those who follow the ”middle way”, or the way of balance. For them, heart, love, are as much important as the mind, the intelligence. From this equanimity results a certain balance, or a neutralization of the two aspects. The thing is that…yes, the balance can’t be taught (I mean, by someone separated from you). All the things that deal with it (like, for example: swimming, riding a bicycle, musical ear, etc.), once you’ve learned ”the secret”, you cannot forget them ever. This, I find to be really amazing.:)))
That’s all for today.

They say that…
Nobody is ireplaceble. Such a big lie!
In fact, nobody can be replaced in existence. It would mean that God creates clones…
