I am often spoken to that I am to be more playful. This is told to me by my Angel Oracle Cards all the time. So many times the playfulness card is given to me when I do a daily draw. I love to pick two cards each day to see what I am being told by my Soul Family and Guide. My medium channels my Guide and Soul Family also and playfulness is often mentioned, along with not being so hard on myself.
Ever since my awakening about 10 years ago, I moved from pleasure seeking to focusing on my purposes. I became very serious about spiritual learning, my Path and fulfilling my purposes, along with learning what those purposes are for me.
Balance is always needed in every area of our lives. We live in a polarized world of extremes .. up & down, left & right, macro & micro, in & out, hot & cold, etc… So finding balance in our character is not just valid, but necessary. Being too serious gets old to everyone and being too playful is the same. When we are at one end of the spectrum, frequently we go to the opposite and then eventually find a balance. I did this with my diet when I was a thoughtless eater. I then became an extreme vegan and my friends were irritated with my judgmental thoughts as I wouldn’t eat honey or even figs because a wasp had to die in that fruit. Eventually, I realized that there is a balance and there is a birth, death, rebirth cycle of life for animals just like we find for humans. I am not on board with factory farming, but I do not worry so much when I go out to eat as I want to be in the moment and enjoy that meal. I do think ethical hunting is the best, but please remember that this is how I feel and is not judgmental toward others that feel otherwise. We are to come to our own conclusions and decide what our values are and what works for us and our conscience. It often is a work in progress for me and I am open to changing my mind as I learn what is best in my life.
So balance is important with my playfulness and my concentrated learning of Wisdom. It would be okay for me to go to an extreme of playing more since I seem to focus too much and be too serious. Thing is .. I like being serious about my Path. I often say that my spiritual Path is the most important thing to me. It will be true until I die because I was reborn and it changed everything for me. That change gave me Joy and Freedom and Love. I was so miserable to be around. I didn’t like myself so how would anyone else like me. They got the hint that I was a pill to be around. I would like to think that I am not so bad to be around now, but the jury may still be out to some. Like I used to be, those that are in darkness can’t stand to see the light of day because it hurts their eyes. It shows the dirt in the corners of their lives they do not want to see … at least, that was how I used to be.
When I think … what did I do as a kid to play? I think about how I loved riding my bike. I loved to play sports. I loved making art and listening to music. I loved laughing. I especially loved hanging out with good friends that just “got me”. I now try and think … what makes me playful? What do I do to play by myself? Playing with others is pretty easy. Well, writing this blog is very fun for me. Writing my book is also super fun – by the way, there is a book coming! 🙂 Riding my bike is very good for me as I need the therapy after a serious injury I had in November, as well as it’s a lot of fun. It reminds me of the freedom and independence of my childhood. Playing whatever sport is needed by me and fun because moving my body is enjoyable. Walking my dogs and seeing their excitement while on the walk and prior to that walk is joyful. Music is the most enjoyable as I have been a music nerd my entire life. I worked for record stores and record labels and distributors in my youth. I collect vinyl. I have a ridiculous stereo system that I enjoy using and hearing the separation of tones and the rhythm and melody of all the sounds. All these things are full of play for me. I am told often to get in Nature. That is so inspiring and is a perfect balance of wonder and awe for the epiphanies of Wisdom. It is also fun to hike and see the eye candy of God’s creation. It blows my mind when I see the variety of the shades of green and the most unique animals and plants that are otherworldly. These are the things I remind myself of when I need to break my spell of serious focus and go play. My sister is possibly the world’s greatest at this balance. I learn from her and am inspired daily.
Playfulness and balance go together for me. I am still an infant with finding this. I may be extreme, but I will go back to finding the middle road lending myself to moving like a vibration off center to the left and then off center to the right, moving back and forth. This is balance. Staying in one place can be offending and judgmental to ourselves and others. Mostly, it can be boring and monotonous.
I used to think that balance can be as boring as being stuck on one end of the spectrum. I still feel like that still can be the case. We are to move in life. Staying still is being stuck. Every vibration is a moving energy. Electricity is an alternating current.
Wikipedia says, “Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction.”
You can really dig deep into the idea of alternating currents which make up vibration. The magnitude of a vibration can change. A waveform of most alternating currents are sine waves. Sine waves move in a harmonic motion. Our vibration can be harmonious. There are other waveforms as well, like the kind in guitar amps which can be triangular or square. They give different harmonious sounds like we as humans have different harmonics that make us unique. Other alternating currents can be modular and carry audio or video signals for example. Our unique vibration can be harmonious and unique and vary in frequency and magnitude. High frequencies can still fluctuate and should.
Balance can be fluctuating and move often, yet still stay in the middle. This is more fun in my opinion than staying steadfast and firmly in the exact middle. That also is a way of being stuck. Having no opinion and staying away from a judgment with your perspective is not fun and is not helpful for anyone. I think I may be polarizing with my perspective which I want to always emphasize that these are only my thoughts and everyone can have their own ideas and thoughts and find what is right for themselves. I do not push dogma of any sort … at least, that is my desire. I just write about what I am learning and maybe that is instigating new thoughts and perspective for others.
I desire to focus on finding a unique alternating current that moves gently back and forth in the spectrum of balance for all things in my life, but mostly between playfulness and serious focus right now. This is an important thing for me to work on in my life, but not work on too hard. What is it that you want to find as a moving balance with your walk in this life? I would love to hear your thoughts about your alternating current of balance and how that applies to your unique Path!
