Doingness and Consciousness

November 29, 2016

Whew!  What a Relief, to be done with all that!  Woke up this morning after a long sound Sleep with a clear head finally, raring to get to work on my long to-do list that’s been gathering Moss while all these vague Dramas have been going on!  Amazing how I got things done today in a few minutes that seemed like they would take hours before.

Zipped through the email (usually takes much of the day), composted the kitchen scraps and washed the buckets, cleaned/refilled/hung the Hummingbird feeders, changed the furnace filter, took out garbage and recycling,  harvested Herbs for infusing into Olive Oil and Huckleberry leaves for Tisane, added armloads of Buckwheat and Parsley and Beeweed and Carrot and Oregano blossom and Fireweed and Mullein and Daylily and Raspberry and Brussels Sprouts stems to my nascent Hugelbed, trashed Rusting Cole leaves, swept three months worth of detritus off the Garden sidewalks, started some client astrology – very satisfying sense of Accomplishment.  

So, now, what was that Full Moon about?

Oh.

Look and Learn.  

Okay.  Well, yes, I had a hard time concentrating on my new Michael Roads book, as if I was reading through a thick layer of something transparent.  I could see the words through it, but I couldn’t really grok the impact through it.  My Skepticism kept coming up, Either/Or stuff, very tempting.  Hmmm.

Glad to see that my local Food Co-op is finally getting somewhat hip to Glyphosate, so I don’t have to write another letter.  Didn’t eat as well as I could have, didn’t drink enough Water.  Wasn’t very Conscious about many little things like mixing my Vitamin-C-Pycnogenol-Glutathione-Gymnema cocktail to go with my Date-Chocolate-Walnut bars (Clif Kit’s Organic, yummy, no added Sugar).

Interesting.  Being Conscious about Doing seems to take time, or to create the Illusion of “taking” time.  Or to make Time disappear.  The Thousand Vignettes are getting more Intense and harder to Let Go Of, no shortage of those, and glad to see that I was pretty Conscious about Responding quickly and Lovingly to them, able to Lovingly Let Go of most of them.

Okay, feels like two Personae that are kind of impatient with one another – to the extent that they know each other, are getting to know one another a little better.  That’s always a Powerful Learning.  Time for some Gestalt; if they can synch their Objectives Win-Win, there’s much Power in that.  

Oh, then there’s this!  I know it’s Core because I can’t hang onto it.  I keep thinking of it then a minute later I’ve lost it.  As my First Teacher used to say, “Your own Truth goes right through you” – you can’t hang on to it.  Timing.  The Seventh Harmonic.  Not Wasting Energy over anything whose Time has not arrived yet.  When the Time is right, even huge tasks are Effortless.  When it isn’t, even small tasks are a Labor.  I’m beginning to Remember that more often.  I’ll have to do some PIAVAs around that!
