The Triangle Of Spiritual Energy (Part 4)
Referring to yesterday’s message, in the triangle of harmonious energy, all three
points (the self, the Supreme and others) need to be equidistant - not too
much one way or the other. The equidistant triangle in ancient mathematics was the
symbol of harmony. Harmony, peace, order and balance is what is natural in human
life and if we wish to return to that condition, we need to realize the importance
of equidistant relationships. It requires constant attention to keep the three points
in balance and in working order. Otherwise, when we get over-focused on any one
of the three, we become inflexible. This inflexibility causes us to go out of balance
and the result is disharmony and disunity, which can also be called 'violence',
an unnatural condition, or even hell when it reaches an extreme point.
In order to maintain a balance between the three, I need silence: times of introspection
when I can check the flow of three of my relationships – with the self, Supreme
Source and others. This checking mechanism protects, sustains and develops the qualities
of these three points.

Message for the day 11-12-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
True help is to give support in such a way that people become independent.
Checking: Think of those people we are giving some kind of help or support.
Check if we are helping in such a way to make them independent or is our help making
them dependent on us.
Practice: We should remind ourselves that our aim in helping is to make people
independent and strong in such a way that they are able to support others too. Our
help should never make people weak.
