Hi everybody,
It has been awhile since I have posted, but I hope everyone is doing alright; I've missed you
I feel like one of the great struggles in my seeking is the balance between love and wisdom. Oftentimes when I am feeling more adept, I begin surrounding myself and even drowning myself in sources of spiritual/archetypical knowledge whether it be from Ra, Allan Watts, or most recently Carl Jung. As most of us probably do, I love reading about the metaphysical nature of our existence, but sometimes I feel like it leaves me with that pompous spiritual elitism that can be damaging in my relationships with people who do not share my passion for spiritual topics.
I understand this "distance" between myself and others to be a lapse of love, where my ego grasps at the concept of knowing everything while my heart is playing catch-up.
Do you guys ever catch yourselves in similar circumstances? What brings you back to the love of the moment and the beings around you?
