Wisdom and Love

[IndigoSalvia]

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?

Can totally relate. I have been in a state of spiritual (more solitary) contemplation for the last several months. Consequently, I have flaked on a few social things with friends. I apologize to my friends and also honor my path. 

I tend to see different spiritual meandering paths: mine (my facet, or coalesced energies, of the Creator/Creation) is calling me in one direction whereas others (my brother/sister facets) are calling to them/us in another direction. But we're all in it together. We're all working on evolving toward unity, just in different ways. 

I too contemplate the balancing of Wisdom and Love. My energies ebb and flow between these two great forces; sometimes one is more pronounced, and sometimes it's the other. 

Using Confederation lingo: sometimes I experience wisdom/love and other times, love/wisdom. Both are always there, but in a moment, one is more emphasized than the other (but not necessarily devoid of either). Alas, the great balancing act. 

I sense both Love and Wisdom in your post. Words fail me as I'm fumbling for them. So, I'll leave it at this.
