I'm glad that you took the time to mention to people your experience with the spirit and its impact on your life in this situation. As a teacher I find it imperative to show my students how the Great Work stabalizes someone on a variety of levels. I just heard "sometimes it takes a great shock to break through the inertia that has been placed into the system", isn't that the paradox of the Great Work, to stabalize and rock us at the same time so we can purify and settle more deeply into our Selves? I think your current experience is a great example of that, and I predict it may help you to become even more adept at your work and teachings in the future. Bravo to you for taking it in as much stride as you have, keeping up with your magical work, and continuing to share your experiences with others<br /><br />LVX,<br />Soror FSOSoror FSOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00115294073214207540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-90327543321347190092010-01-04T04:42:01.922-05:002010-01-04T04:42:01.922-05:00You are right about divination - truly is key for ...You are right about divination - truly is key for many very practical reasons. Glad to hear you are handling the calamity grace RO. Sounds to me like you are experiencing the painful but often positively revolutionary nature of the Tower; in an almost literal way.<br /><br />With regards to magical precautions - while its true that you MAY have been able to avoid it magically - its impossible to avoid every potential disaster. Even the most powerful magician in the world is still IN the world and has to experience its sharp pointy bits. Its part of the embodied condition.<br /><br />Happy new year!Balthazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082560653346684284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-53548826871222283752010-01-03T15:23:36.544-05:002010-01-03T15:23:36.544-05:00Funny, I just received that very same message in a...Funny, I just received that very same message in a much different way. <br /><br />Happy New Year to you as well.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144040453666802786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-35113978967720349742010-01-03T14:21:59.746-05:002010-01-03T14:21:59.746-05:00People who have not had a really intense practice ...People who have not had a really intense practice have trouble beleiving that this stuff actually works when the shit hits the fan. If you have gazed at eternity, if you have meditated, if you have made real peace with impermenance, than stuff is just not going to destroy you like it does most people. <br /><br />Your practice has served you well and shows.Jason Miller,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03034226672257024583noreply@blogger.com
