Human beings always seek a situation where they are fully content, feeling happy and present in the moment. The nature of every human is such that we are a combination of life that had evolved over billions of years into where it is now as a fully evolved homosapien, and the mysterious power of the spirit, soul or ruh that gives life itself. That is the first radiation of the Divine. Each one of us has the two extreme ends of the spectrum of consciousness. On one end is the basic, selfish creature and the other end is the pure light of the soul. We are on earth to practice, by conscious effort and grace, to be more attuned and recalibrated by the highest within us – the pure soul. In between, we make mistakes, we fall back but it is all in preparation for the next phase of life where there is no longer the limitation of space and time on earth. It is a participative destiny in that we need to do the best we can, trusting as well as we can and being in the moment – a manifestation of timelessness. Abadi is a symbol for that state that enables a human being to live as a divine soul or spirit on earth.
