In a recent Relateful Flow session, I said that I was aspiring toward something and that, to me, aspiration is an active principle. My comment was met with strong disagreement from a person who said that aspiration is passive and only concrete action of a physical kind, actually "doing" something, is active. I was a bit shocked and then realized that I might be in the minority on this subject. To me, "aspiring" is actively signaling Life/God that I am now ready and willing to receive the thing I have been saying I wanted. It is an energetic "yes"! Other more physically tangible actions may follow, but aspiration is first , especially in things which have always seemed to be beyond my grasp.
However, I understand what the person was pointing to. There is a world where action is physical; aspiring may be useful in some way, but it is a passive practice.
Would love others' thoughts and experience with this.
