Meditation is HEAVY! So heavy I feel that it has rewired my brain a little. To the extent I just keep coming up with thoughts to write on this blog, and they get dissolved by meditation. Also, what is personal and what I am OK to fit into a larger framework and write about seems to have changed slightly.
I have come to an insight today. About laziness, relaxation or slovenliness. What people need. Also linking back to the Law of One quote about Balancing your work with your real life. "Your work must be equal to your life".
So a framework then to separate what is kind of, as a loose label... "Spiritual work". Which is also just regular work. From outside work life. We will call this "leisure". But it might not actually be leisure depending on the person.
As I have said previously, I have thought over this quote before. But it seems to have slightly clicked.
Our spiritual work as I see it can be read out of our human design:
My idea on our spiritual work is as follows. Our incarnation cross is the thing that we are here to learn. The element of the thing we are. This really sets the course for the rest of the chart. Like others have said. it is extremely important.For Ra Uru Hu. This is wisdom. It is expressed through a behaviour. For me it is prayer. So my incarnation cross. Which is also wisdom. Is shown by prayer. For another element of person. This could be love or Power.
Next, another element of the three, (wisdom, power or love). Is our conscious North Node. For me this is shown by meditation. This is my version of "love". The gate it's in though is also correlated with "philosophy" I suspect. Although, it may be that the philosophy is the whole chart.
Last, the third of the three elements (So for me, we have done wisdom and love, the third is power). Is power. This for me is music.
In a basic way, the conscious North Node is slightly more important than the subconscious. If we are ill, the subconscious will tend to not be functioning so well. But life is set so we always have meaning. The conscious side of the design functions no matter how ill we are. But also, confusingly. Our "life path" so to speak. The thing we are here to do in the real world. The thing that palpably changes things like status. Is in the unconscious North Node.
The conscious is more important because it keeps everything in alignment. Whereas the subconscious is kind of impotent if anything goes wrong. The incarnation cross is the most important of all.
What I have found out though. Where this relates to work and leisure. The incarnation cross, the nodes. Are our spiritual work. But the rest of our chart also needs exercise. It also needs to exist.
I had the perfect day today in relation to these. Meditation has been unbelievably profound for me. I am doing prayer every day which is what has allowed me to do meditation and has fended off a lot of 'bad luck' things that seemed to undermine my health. But my perfect day today was to get all these things in balance. The prayer, the meditation, and an intense music session.
But a person needs live beyond that. Relationships, friendships etc. I would say that if you don't have a certain amount of 'leisure'. You have nothing to sing about! My songs have always come from emotional real life situations.
Without that, it seems to me, that "leisure" becomes kind of compelled. After meditation and music. I was not able to relax. All the entertainment I might normally enjoy. Youtube videos, books, poems, (even the Law of One) are just too much intellectual work. There was no possibility of calming down and certain experiences yesterday have put me in an anxious place.
So, seeing no other option. I went and changed my pennies and got two beers and a bar of chocolate.
A small point. In my view, the meditation, music and prayer does not mean I should not be doing anything else. If I were to enter the workforce. I do not know what parts of my chart would be used but it could be part of the "spiritual work" so to speak. I just wanted to clarify because we never know what these crazy people want out here.
It's all a bit confused and complicated because it relies on this unhealthy society. But that's what I am sticking with. We have our spiritual work. Then by a natural balance we are meant to have experience and leisure. if this is not possible we have to find a way to balance that.
