All Life is Struggle, Friction & Balance

All existence is struggle, friction, pressure, disharmony, resistance, acquiescence, harmony and balance. This is the experience of every life form, and we human beings are no exception.

All life forms experience the eternal struggle to survive. We experience friction with the environment, pressure from the environment, and our own internal pressures. We experience disharmony, harmony, resistance, acquiescence, and balance from within as well as without. These are the cycles of states that define all existence.

Why then do many of us hold the belief that life and life experience should exist without struggle, friction, disharmony or resistance? In this regard we hold the conscious or unconscious belief that there is something wrong when we experience these constant cycles that define existence.

The truth is that in moments of acquiescence, harmony and balance; struggle, friction, resistance, and pressure are present. And, in moments of struggle, friction, pressure and resistance; acquiescence, harmony and balance are present…This is LIFE.

For our other brothers and sisters in the animal kingdom, the struggle, friction, pressure, disharmony, resistance, acquiescence, harmony and balance of existence is just life and the act of living; not a strange fate that has befallen them.

Never expect life to be anything other than it is and 1/2 of the pain of life ceases to exist. It is the experience you choose in the struggle, during the friction, amidst the pressure, during the disharmony, while in resistance, in acquiescence, during harmony, and while balancing…that is your life experience!

Remember...
