"The mere selection of some definite aim, with determination to realize it, starts the operation of hidden activities that provide us with the necessary materials, and puts us in contact with those persons whom we need to meet in order to attain our goal." TSW - I've seen this law in action in my own life.
This is such a great quote I'm writing it down in my commonbook.
Perhaps you've answered this question already, but will you be doing long distance attunements again at other times? I hope to do this work, but I can't add much more to my schedule at this time, so it will have to wait. I could possibly start this while going through the Occult Philosophy Workbook this year, but I had also thought of reviewing the Hamner material. -then there is also the Order of Spiritual Alchemy, which I did the first series of but did not submit for an exam to go further. I also feel that will be beneficial. I have a tendency to get scattered. I've reined it in some, but I have to constantly remind myself that I probably have less time to do multiple things than I think.
Yet this has been on my mind, as I contemplate healing and being of service to others. There have been a lot of people in my life whom I've been called to help in some way. I'm not trying to toot my horn about this, as I often find it inconvenient and at odds with my own will, and get frustrated by it. Other times I do embrace it when I'm in acceptance mode, and it's not like its just me helping them. I've gotten a lot out of these relationships, but sometimes it does feel like in the Sacred Geometry Oracle, the Vesica Piscis reversed...the pattern is like this:
People with various mental illnesses or are somewhere on the spectrum in some way, but haven't been able to integrate as well as others, seem drawn to me like a magnet. Some are family. My late uncle was schizophrenic and I did a lot for him (and he also for me, for that matter). My cousin has Spina Bifida and I've been one of his closest friends, as well as family -he's been in hospital since October and had 9 surgeries due to pressure sores and some serious related infections. He really needs company, so I've been visiting him once a week, but that slows me down in my occult and writing work, since I also have a full-time job and marriage. Another friend is an aspie and his girlfriend is schizophrenic. He needs help with certain things -he used to work for my wife when she owned her own business, and we have a lot of interests in common, but I'm the one they can rely on when they need some extra help. And I was just tapped to help them move. He has little family and not many willing friends. When I became a ham I became friends with a man whose wife is in a nursing home with MS -and he is an orphan with no family, really. What he often needs is friendship, or help of some other kind. My wife's best friends father is a widower and his two children (her friends) passed away with a genetic inherited peraplegia, and we often have to do things for him now that he is in his 80s. There are other examples that have come in and out of my life. I was looking through a palmistry book and saw that there were "help lines" below the pinky. I have a ton of these lines. Knowing that, it is helping me accept this pattern.
That pattern combined with some of the Gilbert material I've read (where he talks about in the Gnostic stuff about the various (problematic) people in our lives) and some of what I've gleaned from the Occult Philosophy Workbook does seem to indicate this is part of what I'm here for in this incarnation. Anyway, it occurred to me, with regards to all this, the Modern Order of Essenes material might help me to help others (and myself) but I'm sometimes hardly at all sure which thing to work on, and what I can work on that will fit in with the GSF work I've already committed to -and which does fit with my life rather well, even if I've been slower at it than I'd like because of these connections and commitments.
Thanks for reading, and the opportunity to share on your blogs. Do you think doing the MOE material would be useful for helping out on a spiritual level in these kind of situations if my help is asked for (as prayers, etc. often have been asked of me)? Do you think the MOE material would be okay to do in conjunction while working on the Occult Philosophy Book for my meditations, etc. over the next year. I'm almost done with the GSF finally, just trying to get the Squaring of the Circle exercise done correctly.
