The ebb and the flow... Tis the stuff wot life is made of!!! Xxx

Whilst most all of us would like to ride the wave of continual goodness, well beingness and high flying exhilaration, it is more a case of up and down, in and out of those states. Why?! Because we are human, we came here to focus in this physicality. In every particle of the Universe there is that which is wanted and that which is unwanted. Which gives rise to the fact that there will always be things out there which can make us happy and exhilarated and that which can help us feel hopeless and depressed.

From time to time, I hear people beat up on themselves, and/or question why they aren't feeling good ALL of the time. It is a common misconception that to be spiritual is to be always happy! But this ain't possible and to hold yourself to such over-exacting standards is setting yourself up for failure! Instead, you want to be real and aware and conscious. Being real to how you're feeling and not gloss over anything which is really dragging you down. Being aware of how and where you are vibrating and conscious of being able to move into a better space when you are ready.

It is this ebb and flow which is the very nature of who we are!

Abe used to say that with the tremendous workload of all that Jerry and Esther had to do, they oft felt overwhelmed. Then they would take a break at the beach, then after a little time they would get a bit bored and want to be out in the world doing stuff!

You wouldn't know joy if you didn't know sadness. You wouldn't know love if you hadn't experienced hate. They are all sides of the same coin. The trick is just not to get too sucked into the not so good feelings for too long.

Life needn't be a rollercoaster (although some do find this type of existence thrilling). Instead a little bit of contrast, a good amount of joy and that which is middling in between. Just try to keep yourself on the high echelons of the emotional scale if possible!

Just be! Mix it up, live life and have fun. Laugh plenty and don't take this or yourself too seriously. At the end of the day, no one really gives a sheet!!!

Happy ebb-ing!!!

Lots of love, Nick Xxx
