Meditation: "In all things great and small, I see the beauty of the divine expression"
....time: 21:00
....duration: 15 minutes
....results: "all things needful, both spiritual and material" = "manifestation of the undeviating justice" = "In all things great and small".  "all things needful" also means circumstances and not just spiritual and/or material objects. How do I apply this to Hitler and the Jewish Holocaust? I cannot help but conclude the the "undeviating justice" is not really punitive in nature but simply what is needed for our spiritual progress. I wonder how the Jews murdered by the Nazis benefited spiritually. I'm being sarcastic but also am truly asking the question. If all things and all circumstances come from It, then everything and all circumstances must be "divine expressions". The Buddhists say that pain is inevitable but suffering is not. It's easy for me, as a privileged white male who has never undergone any real hardship, to say these things. I may never truly understand hardship. I find myself hoping that I never do. Is that being spiritually immature?
I imagine a yin-yang symbol made up of blue and red, instead of black and white. It starts to spin and the blue and red start to bleed into one another. As it spins faster and faster, it gets brighter and brighter until it suddenly explodes into the bright radiant yellow of Tiphareth.
