Duality

It’s all about the balance between your spiritual and physical experience, this is what I’m learning.

Yes, to an extent you can make some kind of escape onto a spiritual plane until you’re forced to deal with practical realities again. And yes, you can see the spiritual shining through the way the physical world is manifested, the daily changes and occurrences and the forces at play.

You can’t divorce yourself from the physical/material completely.

To turn your back on the spiritual is… a different kind of death, of un-being, disconnect.

Also, your physical/material experience will always always reflect what is going on with you spiritually.

All of that being “true”, it's hard to say which is more important to pay attention to. You can’t live without either and I guess everyone has their own stance on how useful it is to hang out in spiritual peace constantly if it’s limiting the use you make of the physical resources you have available to you. The translation of the spiritual into this current reality, the flow and the connections between people are what interest me most. Maybe that’s why the obsession with trees: spirit in physical form.
