Transient, Sustained and Eternal

[Sacred Fool]

So is the transient important? Yes, in that it is part of the path. But also, and I think this is equally important, why not have some fun along the way?

  
As I tried to illustrate above with the Blake quote and Ra quotes, from a spiritual perspective, the distinction between transient and non-transient material may be more apparent than real.  The real distinction may be the degree of fullness of engagement within the entity with whatever the subject matter is.  So, one can engage in a transient manner with deep stuff or in an deeply integrated manner with seemingly trivial stuff.  And, sure, one can just take a break from all this highfalutin jabbering and just relax and have a little fun.  Why not, indeed?  But even then, the opportunity for deeper engagement may well arise.  To take it or not is an individual choice, of course.  I would suggest again that polarity may be a telltale factor in such decision making.
