Late Night Chat with Margi Connor &Peter Goodman: Being and Doing, June 1, 2023, live on Baba Zoom

Late night chat centered around our Beloved. A sharing of hearts led by Margi Connor and Peter Goodman.

Jai Baba all!

I am back from a bit of a crazy hiatus. Lovely Peter took on the role of host the past few weeks, but I am back and looking forward to reconnecting with all of you.

Jeff has done a topic similar to this but in different wording. I believe he called it the balance of masculine and feminine on the path. I hope to dive into that but from a slightly different angle. masculine energy achieves, initiates, and pushes us forward along the spiritual journey. Feminine energy is what allows us to be, receive, feel, and hold space for others. So how do we know when we need to lean into one more than the other?

Life with Baba can feel like a beautiful whirlwind. As the Avatar of the Age, He puts us on a speed track to Him. He is always sending circumstances the way that propel us in His direction. When this happens, it can be easy for our humanness to kick in and identify with the path as an overly masculine, goal-oriented process. I can at least say this is my experience. Have you felt the same? That sometimes it is hard to sit, be, and receive His love because we feel there is a new triumph to conquer to get us closer to Him.

Masculine energy is absolutely necessary but without the equally integrated qualities of the feminine, we lose the ability to be in the present moment, where He is eternal. The ability to just be is what holds space for connection, devotion, and the ability to help or support others. How are we to know when Baba wants us to lean into the being state or when it is time to dive head first into the change He is bringing into our lives?

Can we get stuck in one or the other? Do you oscillate back and forth between "being" too much in your own stagnation and "doing" too much in pursuit of some perceived spiritual goal? Is your pursuit of that goal taking you out of the moment and creating disconnection from others? Or is your connection to others and denial of your own need for expansion not allowing you to get closer to Him? How do you catch yourself in these moments?

We are the whole journey; beginning, middle, and end. How do we learn to never look outside of ourselves for the answer, but create that inner longing to dive deeper into Him within ourselves? Can we do this while still maintaining connections to the people who are walking the journey simultaneously? Isn't the goal for the being and the doing to be to exist together in harmony allowing Baba to dictate which one will lead the way in the eternal?

I am looking forward to what this topic brings, as it is juicy.

In His Love,

Margi and Peter
