*Awakening to Depth before Breadth*

The characteristics of famous or prominent people are interesting. One sometimes wonders if when seeing into them one is being arrogant in criticizing their weaknesses. On the other hand, it is by seeing such things that we can grow beyond them in our own lives.

While at home or in a friendly place, you can reach toward a higher power. This is the "religious" activity of human beings and I am not at all convinced that atheists do not do it--in their own ways, disguised as humanism.

The quarrelsome nature of some of the Wall Street protests does not obscure their serious purpose, a groping toward some kind of "justice" in the economy which satisfies all sectors. That would be the true nature of a "democratic" solution of economic inequality, though perhaps unattainable, or attainable only in ways which would please some and not others. Still, there are signs of people being willing to put away some of their differences for the sake of the greater good. In the European banking or sovereign debt crisis, this is obviously essential.

A deep side of you is able to look beyond the superficial into the mystical, the other-worldly, what lies beyond death. Rare are those who do not have at least one spirit companion, though unknown to them.

What seems laziness in some could be their temporary way of changing paths. Those who are hospitable even to the obtuse or indolent gain something in return.

Envy of others' economic status can be a path to restructuring one's own. There is also a trend toward constancy in one's principles, so that one is content with what one has because one wants to do whatever is right rather than what might be more advantageous in a worldly or financial way.

Depth of feeling can tend toward the magnanimous. When none feel afraid of loss, there can be more spontaneous sharing, and that at a metaphysical as well as material level.
