Update - RoM + Wanted - I fell to the Serpent’s Temptation
Connection to the subconscious RESULT
I had a long conversation with something at work the other day. The skeptical alchemist I am, I won’t venture to say what it was. Could have been my subconscious, could have been God, could have been the spirit of mushrooms, no idea, regardless, it’s voice came to me following a meditation and visualization session on my break.
It spoke clearly, slowly, and with a certain commanding quality that it did not appear to be my ordinary internal dialog. Whatever it was, it didn’t seem to be concerned that I didn’t know what it was. When I asked if it was me, it said “Yes.” When I asked if it was God, it said “yes.” When I asked if it was outside me it said “Yes.” When I asked if I was just talking to myself it said “no.”
It lectured me about power and corruption by guiding me to certain conclusion.
Essentially what it told me was not to be naive and that I am not only susceptible to corruption, I’m even more susceptible than many people around me. Why?
Because I’m intelligent, I’m creative, I’ve been traumatized, I have a very active ego and I have seen partly through the illusion of reality. Not only that, even with limited resources, I’ve already fallen to the temptations of power and social influence.
It’s warning was clear, “don’t become a tyrant.”
It’s advice was equally clear, “don’t forget what you are.”
Dont let the ego control you, don’t become a tyrant, don’t forget that you are a spiritual being.
It had one final message, “don’t be so foolish as to think money won’t change you. Money will change everything about you, your life, and your relationships.”
Money changes everything. Every interaction I have with people, regardless of their status relative to mine, will be colored by money. Invisible doors will open. Money will change every aspect of my life, only a fool would think otherwise.
The voice gave a Parting gift of advice, “money and power changes all. Now more than ever, you need to discipline yourself spiritually to make the changes positive.”
Intuitive Learning RESULT
At work yesterday, my boss showed me how to improve my technique at an artistic task. I watched him closely, and replicated his technique almost flawlessly after one try. My boss has about a decade of experience that I don’t have. It was pretty amazing.
