Ramble #11
by White Feather
I always thought estrangement was a very strange word. In the universe it certainly is strange, for it is one of those peculiarities of physicality. In spirit, in ONE-ness, there is no such thing as estrangement. In physicality everything is strange. In the very act of entering physicality, we undergo an estrangement process which is what the yin/yang polarization technically is. We must separate into two energies in order to operate in this dimension. That separation--or estrangement--is at the root of our many problems. We long for the ONE-ness that is now just a faint memory. To bring that ONE-ness back into our lives, we must balance the two opposing yin/yang energies. It is through this balance that we can draw ONE-ness into this dimension....thereby transforming it.
Those individuals who come into our lives, touching us deeply, then becoming estranged from us, are more than likely soul-mates we have engaged in countless lives. (We all have many soul-mates.) Over the course of those many lives, the times spent together are very important, but so are the times spent apart! They are just as important! Looking at it from the point of view of seeing all our past, present, and future lives as being one continuous thread, and knowing that a long thread that weaves two souls together is a thread that must contain equals parts of togetherness and estrangement in order for balance to be achieved, we can see that those periods of estrangement are necessary and valuable--and great opportunities for learning. The longing for reunification can be painful, but it is what helps us to keep going and progressing towards that state of balance.
