Human society life these days is all about insurance, backups, liability contracts, contingency plans, warranties and guarantees. We have all these things to protect ourselves from loss.
Sometimes that loss is real, objects, money, information, skills and people are really lost - gone temporarily or forever.
Most of the time though, insurance, backups and contingency are there to soften the fear provoked by the two worded question: 'What if...?" and the open ended thought: "Just in case, you never know...".
In life we have to have our backs covered. We have to look after ourselves first and don't do anything that risks our security, whether that be financial, physical or our peace of mind.
Why is this? Because the main logic of life is to not suffer loss. To always gain, win and be physically, financially and mentally better off.
The principles of the work are different, It is not to win, gain, lose, be up or down, it is to develop the consciousness which sometimes means to lose out and be below, from a human persepctive. Sometimes it means to be up and above as seen from the mere huamn life perspective. The main thing is that the work does not pander to or obey the logic of life.
The strange thing though, is that all the highly sucessful people in life, those who generate millions of dollars in income, say that they had to take risks. They would not be where they are now without having taken risks.
To the person 'who knows', there are no risks and no backup is needed. Because an awakened person knows the outcome.
When we are blinded or can not see, risks appear between us and our goals.
To take a risk in favour of our Being and the work could be a test of our faith in our Being... Or at the very least be an opportunity to se where our faith in our Being is at.
It feels that backup plans, insurance and contingency don't quite match when it comes to the Being and having faith in the Being.
We decide something and go ahead and make it happen, is the power of faith in ourselves and in our Being.
For those of high faith and trust in themselves, backups and contingencies are because of indecision and inner division.
