Host
(We accept conclusions to make way for more answers in our search for that which is beyond Mind's ability to comprehend. Mind, the stranger within, desirous of becoming known by Self, seeks recognition through the assimilation of understanding the environment of its host's potentiality.) Life’s dualities are our sufferings. They are also our salvations. Where would we be if it were not for dualities, this yin/yang life that that struggles to define, to know, to categorize that which we are so apart of? The struggle is the path to attainment, in what ever degree we require to satisfy Self. But sometimes we do not know the differences between our Self and our Ego. They are the dualities that we ultimately struggle with.
What is it within us that fights for understanding? Why doesn't Mind allow us to simply accept that which is? That is not the nature of Mind. Mind has broken down existence into categories. Through our evolution mind has notated and defined various occurrences of life that have piqued at it, seeking answers to understand and link these experiences into threads that will form an even larger blanket to bring comfort to Mind. Mind presents dualities to exercise the adventure of being into patterns that portray an ultimate realization of Absolute.
It is as though Mind has been lost and longs to regain its connection with existence. Mind wants desperately to know what is 'out there'... to grasp the every thing that is revealed to it. How much can Mind consume before it becomes so bloated with information that it assumes proportions that overwhelm its host? Mind can turn on its host and remake the host into something that others do not understand.
It is not the 'not understanding' that must be understood in order for progress to continue. Especially among the family of man, understanding each other is an important conclusion. But is it more important than solving the esoteric questioning of Mind? We need balance within us to function fully, without barriers set up by mind. Limitations of doubt and confusion hamper our potential to become one with Self and with Life.
(Of course all of this is psycho-babble that really doesn't conclude anything... just a flash of ego emanating from Mind to bedazzle the reader into realms of imaginary postulations of understanding to pacify Mind and hopefully quell its urgency to ask, to know, to assimilate the world of its given host. But Mind continues... as it is meant to be - )
Mind acts like a stranger, whereas Spirit is familiar. Spirit is what came into this world within our physical. It is Spirit that is our Light within. It is Spirit that sustains us when Mind cannot satisfy the questions. We reach beyond Mind to touch Spirit for the nourishment needed to overcome the boundaries, the limitations of Mind.
Mind in its curiosity cannot fully comprehend Spirit. Spirit is the force behind Mind that drives thought... to allow the host to perform accordingly. But to rely totally upon Mind to bring satisfaction to us is to rely upon the dualities to remain in balance, and balance is a verb that is always see-sawing between choices.
We need to achieve balance, even if it's momentarily. That is our journey... seeking balance between this and that. But no balance can be adequately fulfilled if we rely upon only Mind. It is not Mind's nature. Balance within our Nature: the physical and the mental appeasing of the Spirit within bringing balance so we may witness the undisturbed reflection of Pure Consciousness, our oceanic connection to the Eternal.
Mind must halt life, stop it momentarily to grasp something of its nature to appease itself. But life is constant change. This change is our evolutionary necessity, and the answers we use for our questions is Minds necessity. Mind has seen the macro and the micro, the duality, and attempts to understand their connection through this momentary halting of Life by drawing it into a Lab and dissecting it, analyzing it and observing it... all while Life continues changing. Mind reaches conclusions to stabilize doubt and curiosity, but it is these very qualities of existence, change, that sustains the level of awe and mystery, of wonder and imagination so that our Being has meaningful purpose and possibilities of potential to be realized without Mind having the final decision.

The incremental flow
of moments defies Mind
in its attempt
to intellectualize
the mysteries of Life
Each moment of life
proceeds the past
in a roller coaster ride
on the rails of
endless imagination
Imagination can

fully comprehend
Imagination
Imagination
tickles Mind
into logic

When Mind is
understood
Life becomes focused
and wakefulness
is realized
Mysteries are nourishment
for Imagination to activate
Mind in its attempt
to bring peace within

Sharing: "Sunset at the North Pole"
"A scene you will probably never get to see, so take a moment and enjoy Nature at work at the North Pole. This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. And, you also see the sun below the moon. An amazing photo and not one easily duplicated." - as received in a recent email.
