I have been trying to think through something to write today. But the previous insight I have talked about. Is so world changing for me, that I have not been able to. It's only when thinking in a kind of new way that I have finally caught onto something to talk about. But even as I write here it is feeling like that yet again, dissolves.
The decision to reform my spirituality without prayer has changed everything, but it would be trite to come out with articles, especially with about five days of experience of this new changed. Titled things like "3 ways stopping prayer changed my life for the better". I have also got a few other changes in my life that have coincidentally come at the same time.
I have always had a strong effect from exercise and always noted a similar psychological effect. That is that I am able to notice and handle negativity more. And with that, am able to let go of things a lot more. When you start to feel stronger you don't need the anxiety in place anymore to protect you. So the other day I was thinking of having been "bullied" at an office job by being strategically kept out of the social life for two years. At this moment. Because of the exercise. I do not feel like it is at all a big deal.
I am really quite sure that it is a strong, permanent change. When I talked to Grok about it. It became clear to me that I have put a lot of energy into keeping up the prayer because I didn't fully believe it. I was struggling with keeping within that paradigm. I used to have a big checklist of things I wanted to do everyday. Meditation, music, prayer, noted when I went to the gym and about fifteen other things. Now that I have stopped prayer all of a sudden I don't feel like I need it. I will meditate every day, that is not a problem, I don't need to make a list for that. My membership app keeps a record of when I go to the gym. I realise the main reason I did this was because of the prayer and nothing else. I needed to give myself a kind of good star for behaviour because I did not feel that I was getting anything from the energy investment.
It aligns very much with the Uranus transit down to the day. It also aligns with a transit that I would have cast as specifically this kind of change. A change in my spiritual path as transiting Neptune is on the same hexagram place, 25.6. As my conscious North Node. Transiting Neptune will not return to gate 25.6. When it retrogrades again it will go back to 17.1. You don't tend to get the full effect until the planet will not retrograde back to that position.
I have also, in replacement of the prayer. Found more value in the Q'uo recently. And done some energy healing, which seems to have come out well! I wrote endlessly before about how energy healing didn't suit me. But it might have been the prayer causing a kind of confusion and 'dull ness'. And the energy healing opposing that. So that is yet another change. I did an energy healing last night in the evening and had a great dream. Really emotional and connection heavy.
I also am suddenly having a bit of a different reaction to a lot of media. I cannot stand social media. There are other psychological changes which I was drafting in my head for an article. But I really think I need to absorb the changes for months, not days, before I talk more on that. If I were to. Some things are just too personal and the result may be more interesting.
I suspect, from the two poles of my mind, one that wanted to have my kind of first principles, in Christianity and prayer. And the other that wanted a more personal first principles. Since the second one won out. I will tend to go a little deeper in my opinions from now on. Also, I am putting a higher emphasis on reading and such.
Anyway, I am also very suddenly living an unstructured life. The world feels like a huge place now and me a small part. Whereas, with the prayer, I felt like I had 'the power of God' on my side a bit more. So it might take a little while for the new structure of thinking to form. For instance, I am thinking a lot about how I have talked about Uranus in the gate 8 being related to the female homogenisation of spiritual outlooks. I have wondered a lot to myself today, if there is any evidence of that I can find in politics or culture? Like, my mind has suddenly shifted to a bit more of an evidence based approach. Or not really that. But more that than it was before.
This is partly context for if I were to not post for a few days. I think I will post fine. But it was touch and go today. Like I said, sudden confusion and unstructured thinking.
My alarm just went off on my phone, punctuating the end of the article just as I was about to press "publish", and I got the thought this might be my last post. I doubt that. I don't intend that. But I also wanted to record the thought here on the offchance it is correct.
