About that "transcendence"... it's easily misunderstood.
Transcendence is not a slimming-leotard for Yoga, but a heightened ability to work around shit to get some work done to take care of other people.
The first step of transcendence which one might notice is all of their own personal shit coming to the surface and triggering the personal shit of people around them to react against them.
Paradoxical, I know...
You deal with a lot of shit, and plug away at still doing what needs to be done, and you may become more skilled if you really see how bad it is for other people, and won't be stopped in helping.
That working through and around shit to help other people, maintaining clear focus on that goal, is "transcendence", the best that I can tell.
("Transcendence" is not polishing turds, if I may be so viulgar.)
" You realize that all this is the spirit teaching you about your being, leaving breadcrumbs for you to pay attention to. And your task is to understand the nature of reality and to learn how to live well. They are experiencing their journey. They will pay their price. It is their choice. You are living your life, your way. You are practicing your faith and your ethics, and frankly, you feel sorry for them.
As you pray, you are reminded again that all good things come on God’s will, and they come on God’s time. At the end of the day, you are doing this because this is what you were born to do. You are here and now, but you are also eternal, and the world is worth saving, and your fellow travelers are worth loving, and you are not weird for practicing your good ethics."
Wow, I can deeply relate . Thank you so much from the heart Tessa and thank you Cyd for posting Tessa's beautiful letter...No surprise now that I learn you are Substack friends. I have often read her Substack when I discovered her posts at the start of the pandemic. She was and is a true light...She is authentic and has true integrity. Learning about the Never Ending War with you Cyd has also lightened my earthly sojourn so much. Life is so much happier when you don't go to war.....Here's to Love.....
Thank you so much, Cyd, I am so honored! Much love to you
