Inconsistencies in the lower nature

July 2, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

Meditation on inconsistencies in the lower nature. From a dialogue with Charlotte Cooper 

I like people with “inconsistencies in the lower nature” because the contradictions drive them to leaps of unity to heal their wound and others: Oh, Happy Fault.

When I began a yoga practice in 1970 my teacher said I have “inconsistencies in the lower nature” when I asked why I was not make progress in Yoga or union. The Yoga of. Union is a transcendent way that is always discovering greater whole, like Russian Nesting doll in reverse. Every time you think  you are arrived, you are just a part of a yet to be discovered whole. Inconsistency in the lower nature is actually the duality of the mind that seeks unity in the heart which always transcends the mind divisive reality.

Inconsistencies in the lower nature drive the oyster to create the pearl of wisdom. The only way out of the pain of inconsistencies in the lower nature is to transcend a higher nature, or whole that includes the inconsistencies.

Transcendence is creativity. Transcendence is blind because you never know what you are creating until you do it.Transcendence is spontaneous because it has no cause in the past. Transcendence uses the past or what’s given to create a new world; transcendence is both determined and free. Transcendence itself is inconsistent with itself.
