Everything starts with contentment with supreme joy,beautiful sunrises and sunsets,candlelit dinners and all the wonderful experiences!!!
It’s like opening a book - one side love, joy and happiness and the other side our lower ego self, we hardly see that months or years later the darkness of the lower self rises like a serpent ready to attack, where did this come from and why does that happen? The ego self wants us to believe that we are not part of the problem, through our insecurities and vulnerabilities, but victims.
Arguments, misunderstandings, violent ways of talking, we knew that there is love but where has it gone? We searched and searched until we came to a dead end. No one could explain what was really happening, why the ego was taking over.
The pain was bouncing back and forth from non-truthfulness, greed, stealing to violence, she was applying violence then she remembered accepting pain and also disregarding the wicked and walked off.
He wanted to embark on a spiritual journey, an awakening happened, they both realised that they were on the same path together, we are each other’s teachers. There are fundamental rules and laws to follow to keep us balanced. He was going through the yamas and niyamas and realised he was hardly following any of them.This was an aha moment when he realised that they weren't aligned. Contemplation, reflection led him to take up truthfulness, she promised she would concentrate on non violence and contentment.
So the dawn of a new day has come...
