The reason everything seems so relative is because of the context in which it occurs. The black and what perspective of our nature stemming from the survival need to know if we are going to make it through alive wants the certainty. Opening ourselves up to being in the moment means surrendering to context. I can read all about something. I can take advice from those who have been through it before. It is not until I am in the experience I am being the fullness of who I am resonating with the moment can I respond authentically. The context of a situation sets the scene and in some cases narrows or widens the possible ways of responding. Expecting an either-or option causes reaction versus response. Our breath is about a response. Our hearts beat in the moment and the rate is affected by the context. Context provides clues and when we do not consider the context in which we are responding we are not being authentic to where or who we are with. Pausing to check in with the truth of who we are and engaging our soul come by asking, how does the truth of who I am respond to the context of this moment? If the context from which we operate is in love we will respond with love even in a context that lacks love. It will look different than a context that encourages love and that is authentic.
