It’s the same battle that goes on between all materialism and spirituality. The outward realm is all about making something happen thru effort. It’s about the material world shaping your life with it’s manipulations. The inner flow is about letting it happen. It doesn’t force its agenda and we can’t force our agenda. It’s a partnership where our intents and desires are laid on the altar of spirit and if they are in sync with the spiritual flow, the fulfillment follows. This provides a clue as to how to deal with the manipulations of the world. Give no power to them. Constantly seek the wisdom of a universe that can’t be anything but perfect and refrain from getting into somebody else’s flow just to avoid making waves.
