Circle Lines have you ever known something where time exceeded its destiny I have been around lines too close to fault jumping over cracks worthiness does not come without pain yet my mind questions this measure does happiness circle pain or is it the other way around "I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown |

Each soul weaves a tapestry through time. Like a tapestry there is a "big" story and there are small sections. Each life is a small section (some larger or smaller than others, but still just individual sections). Seeing the "big" picture is very difficult while immersed in one lifetime and often very frightening for the conciousness of the human life which is weaving a single section. Most often, the intensity and the distractions of human life provide a mix of demand and denial which makes clarity difficult. Our actions, in each life, are the individual threads of the weaving. Most of the time a single action is not that critical; however, as in any tapestry (or in any one lifetime) it is possible to place a thread so badly, or choose a color or texture or direction so out of context that the "big" picture is effected. This could be considered as a source of real karma. In some lifetime, this aberrant thread has to be replaced and the section re-woven. The discarded karmic thread is then in a sense burned. Sometimes, the threads do go around in circles; circles are one of only a few very basic types of movement in the realm of existence. More often, what seems like a circle simply is a thread bending back on itself, perhaps for emphasis or clarification, perhaps because of a nostalgic fondness for whatever it represents. This is what is happening when a soul in one life repeats types of relationships or experiences (good or bad), but it also can be as simple as a basic fondness for certain experiences. Some will prefer being one gender over another, or one race or ethnicity, or prefer one type of geography or climate. We each will experience the full range of human behavior over the course of weaving the "big" tapestry, but each soul still is an individual work of art that will show the preferences, weaknesses, strengths, problems (and eventually the solutions to those problems) which are unique to the character of that soul. The meaning of life is to grow; we do this by making choices and then by learning from those choices; with the mastery of each step, we then move on to a new set of choices. Each lifetime is focused to weave one small section with at least some rudimentary plan, but each life also incorporates learning produced by the random effects of chance. That is when the soul must be most creative in weaving that part of the picture. Obviously, this is a metaphor; no metaphor is perfect. Try it on for size. *smile* [This message has been edited by icebox (08-26-2003 09:50 PM).] |
