Small Details Are a Truth – (1696)

A Truth of Life

The small details are a truth in life. They are a true facet of life.

As with everything in life that has a true presence we have to learn to relate correctly with it. Because it is definitely part of life and we will encounter it many times in our life. Just like sexuality, dignity, balance, force etc. are all things that have a real presence in life and we have to learn how to relate correctly with them so to produce harmonious, correct and balanced effects and results in our life and avoid strengthening the wrong ways of relating with these true facets and accruing karma along the way.

Law of Polarities Involved

What happens here with the small details is that the Law of Polarities is involved, where the great is attracted to the small, and the small is attracted to the big. This is an example of the Law of Opposites. Where the big is our consciousness and the small are the small details.

Way of Relating

Just as Jesus appreciated the small detail of the shiny whiteness of a dead dog’s tooth we too can appreciate the small details with our consciousness. The small details are worthy of attention and appreciation, because the small details reveal so much truth at times and so much beauty, wisdom and perfection. There is also great love in the small details.

Wrong Way

The wrong way of relating is to take the small details with relativity, that is stake a reference point by which we see the small details in ourselves, in our personality. The reference point by which we see the small details has to be in our own consciousness. Where there the small details will be taken as mini revelations and insights and points of awe, discovery, wonder and inspiration.

We though have to be very careful when we take the small details. They must be contrasted against the big picture or the overall picture. They must not be taken alone. When our consciousness captures them then there is no problem because our consciousness acts to reveal to us a certain truth behind the small details.

We can wrongly take them to be omens or signs of things to come or we can wrongly take them to be signs of love or attraction or we can take them to be signs of the loss of love, affection etc.

Ego in the Small Details

The ego also lives off the small details. Meaning that the ego has taken the role of our consciousness in dealing with this true presence of the small details in life.

If we learn how to deal correctly with the small details, we deny the ego this food that it takes from the small details.

We must learn to not pay attention or give importance to the small details where the ego fascinates our attention and feeds itself from and give importance and attention to the small details in our life that we commonly ignore, and show us how much we have to appreciate and be grateful for.
