8. Real Yourself In

The unreal never is: the Real never is not. This truth indeed has been seen by those who can see the true.
Interwoven in his creation, the Spirit is beyond destruction. No one can bring to an end the Spirit which is everlasting.
For beyond time he dwells in these bodies, though these bodies have an end in their time; but he remains immeasurable, immortal. Therefore, great warrior, carry on thy fight. -- Chapter 2, verses 16-18, The Bhagavad Gita (Tr. Juan Mascaro)

The lifeforce of our Source who calls us into being goes on forever. The formless becomes form, takes shape. The form, like waves in the ocean, arises and disappears as the formless takes new form.

We are the formless forming. We are generally way too busy, too pre-occupied to notice or even care. We are proud of our form and prance around. We weary of our form and fall way down.

We do not avail ourselves of the vast energy of the formless that is forming us. The formless has no room because we are pre-occupied with figments of our imagination.

When we identify with the Spirit (lifeforce) of the Real, we are "laying up our treasures in heaven" as Jesus put it. Now we have the energy to carry on our fight. We may not know it, but the "fight" is already won. When we live in the Real, the fight is over. All that is here is endless transformation.
