The Pivot

 I learned “the pivot” in ballroom dancing. Two quick steps and a turn around your axis in order to face your partner or to turn away. There is something like a pivot in spirituality as well. We can literally sidestep the war of good and evil. The silent witness is the manifestor of life as is. There is no one around who roots for either good or bad; life is as it is.

 

So practically, what does taking “the pivot” entail exactly? Whenever you feel that push or pull that falls outside of the realm of contentment and serenity, stop everything and look inside. Ask yourself, which rope do I mistake as a snake in the darkness of excitement or fear and then look again. The moment the illusion lifts like the fog in the morning hours “the pivot” is completed.
