The Middle Way

by the fabulous Guest Blogger, Mordechai 

To begin, I’m going to classify two schools of thought as the East and West. The East is more spiritual and connected to the oneness of our reality. While the West leans more towards the side of cold facts and endless fragmentation of individual pieces of information.

In my own young experience I have been tossed from side to side, over and over every time coming to the realization that this is the one true reality, whatever side of the coin it may be. I then went out with flaming passion towards whatever camp it was who’s so called banner I was waving. I was overjoyed to finally be at home with those who are on the same page as me.

The problem was at every stop on the journey my mention of experience with the other side was either met by ignorance of its existence entirely, or a negative attitude towards it! The sides were either consciously or unconsciously using each other for a background to themselves, who of course represent all meaning and truth.

What a frustrating reality of separate worlds, so close to each other, even living in complete peace at times, but yet the communication between them is nonexistent, or in more serious cases, tragic.

There is one alternative to these opposites, and that is the Middle Path, which is the integration of more than the “either or” of reality. Am I a body with a mind? Or do I have a soul? The answer is yes. Does my environment affect me? Is it my upbringing, or my genetics? How about my past lives and reincarnations? Yes!

We as human beings have been given this great tapestry, like gift of life which surely encompasses more than just one side of the story. I want to empower you to own your power through your whole self, with your whole story, not just the fragments that are labeled as you. There is so much much more than that, the true whole, including the process.

Many good wishes to all of you.
