The Proper Vessel / by Alexander Lyadov

People dream of power, wealth, wisdom, happiness, and so on.

They believe the world holds only a limited supply of these things. So they hunt for them, take from others, and grab as much as their arms can carry.

But there’s another view — this goodness is everywhere. It fills the air, lies underfoot, and seeps through every object, situation, and even dream. There is no shortage — only abundance.

Someone might ask: "Huh, why don't I feel this flood inside me?"

Answer comes plain: "Your vessel can't hold it all yet."

Psychedelic trips show it clear. Folks scribble about the "bad trip," that session gone hellish. Yet sometimes the good rush hits so hard, madness lurks close.

“Beware of unearned wisdom,” Carl Jung once warned.

Theology holds angels skip their true shape with men—too much to take. Even seraphims, top angel rank, veil their face with two of six wings. They can't face God's light straight.

What about us, mere humans? Even when we grab what we crave—power, knowledge, bliss—we act like kids with matches. We fan the flames sky-high.

You short on something? Ask yourself — can your vessel hold It without spilling?

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
