SUMMERTIME the living is easy, the fish are jumping and the cotton is high.A song from my early childhood days that really doesn't apply to my reality or my culture I was not connected to then or now.The living is not easy and when I fishing there were no fish jumping and I have never seen a cotton field.Funny how some of the songs of the past only relate to the past and when you hear them you are taken back in time in your memories and get a sense of the people, places and things they sang about in their lives.Life was never easy and the struggles are different for each generation.There have been many inventions that have made life easier even for the poorest humans on our planet but yet the standard of living of the richest humans is set far above and not obtain by many. We have always had a huge divide between poor and rich.'The poor will always be with us' is the quote from the scriptures. And it appears that the poor are stronger in their spiritual seeking because of a need for help from a higher power.Therefore the words "for the poor in spirit shall be blessed" the question is who are the poor in spirit? The word poor doesn't always apply to money. To lack something important is to be poor in it. Even a person who says "poor me" means I lack something in myself to help myself.Back to the poor in spirit concept or perception of a lack of wholeness.When a person sees only through darkness and not from the light inside the soul they are looking through the dark shades of their ego -mind.The human eyes are projectors of light to see anything light is required.The question does everyone see the same thing? No not everyone sees the same way or the same thing.So what is this light that we see with and why doesn't everyone have this light?Is the light inside an energy or perception of a spiritual nature?Are they seeing through a glass darkly like the one in the scriptures? Can we gain some insights from the dark night of the soul? Are those that have darkness in their perception seeing and looking at life as a dark place?And those who have the perception of light within see light in everything because they are projecting this light.We all see things differently based on our beliefs and how we perceive what we heard and see depends on many factors of our spiritual maturity.We seem to think and say people need to wake up and smell the roses or get some spiritual insights.Are these humans really asleep or are they walking in the darkness of their beliefs and have no light in them? Has everyone been told the truth?Does it matter what they believe? We can't change other people because of their beliefs and can only make changes in ourselves.When we say we are helping them to be healed is that a physical healing or a spiritual healing? They get either one depending on their belief. To ask then what they see may help us to understand what they are thinking.Do they see the glass full or empty is a way that has been used to determine the attitude of the optimist or pessimist belief systems for years?An attitude of gratitude is needed to manifest a healing physically and spiritually. The logical ego driven person will argue about the whole concept of the empty or full glass.The spiritual person will answer the glass is full. What you see is what you get or what you are is what you think you are.The darker the insights of dark shades are pulled down and depression and sadness hide behind the eyes who wear them.The rose color sights are colors of the everything in the living and breathing Earth. When you can't see the eyes you can see the soul within. Not everything appears to be what you first perceive don't be deceived but what others may or not be.
