Have you ever noticed that nature moves in cycles? Why is it then if we are part of nature that we think we move in a straight line? In a multidimensional life experience straight lines are not something we can follow like the one or two-dimensional reality they are. It just doesn’t work. So if we find ourselves encircled in a situation or encircling a certain theme or experience in our lives perhaps it is more than us just going in circles. Perhaps we are surrounding an experience or idea. Perhaps we are encompassing our place in a relationship. Perhaps we are making the circuit so we can view the experience from all angles. We are constantly changing and so we see things we did not see before when we circle around again. The downside (why going in circles gets a bad rap) is if we only see and experience the same thing. We do not see encircling something as a renewal or an opportunity to go deeper and we stay on the one-dimensional surface of what we are encircling. When we come back around again, it can be God’s invitation to view it from our heart. To be moved in a natural fashion by the experience. To go with the flow of the universe. Sometimes we need to circle around because we are not yet ready to let go. That too can be helpful information. Seeing the encircling of our lives through the lens of the heart makes room for compassion and curiosity. If I am busy judging myself for still “being here” wherever “here” is that I think I should have progressed from, what good is that? It only serves me to start circling the drain of self-judgment and self-criticism.
