Sometimes we can get pulled in to study and explore a specific realm or subject and then start to see, or manifest, these thought ponderings in daily life. We all likely know that experience of seeing the same car model everywhere around when a close relation has just acquired that particular car type.
During a certain period, which admittedly never really stopped, I was trying to grasp magnetism, electricity, just on a curiosity level. The Force of attraction pulled me in and I was game for it.
A bunch of us spend a lot of time in our cars doing all the daily driving around town, all the comings and goings. And so was I at that time.
My theory is that even while we're immersed in the mundane we might as well have some fun as we travel through life.
This particular game started for me with just one magnet with some great saying I wanted to keep in mind. I put it on my driver side door so I would see it often. Then I got a few more magnets and started mixing it up and put them in different places on the car. A couple of times I put a fun magnet on someone else's car, someone I didn't really know but saw everyday coming and going at the coffee shop. This magnet said
"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." -Carl Jung
Later on, as a new phase of life was opening and a new job was blossoming I pulled out my magnet that said simply
I was making big changes to my world and I didn't know exactly what was going to happen, I just knew it was all part of the Great Experiencing Of Life. I was hired as a part time worker to do basic tasks at a smallish local business. I knew deep down that I could do things in this new realm that I didn't even know of yet. I wanted to do more, I was ready to learn hands on. My first day on the job I put that magnet on the business owner's truck. The one that said- Anything Is Possible. I was applying the force.
For me this is what happens if life. There are oscillating phases of deep inward workings, usually followed by outward phases of working. Rotation is part of the rhythm, the seasons of hibernation and restoration, and the long hot days of work, work work. Inside. Outside. Ideally we spiral up and our resting place is one with greater and grander views of our landscapes. But, inevitably, falling on the butt and sliding down the hill does happen. Ugh. Take a break. Reassess the misstep, maybe try a different pair of shoes or a path less steep.
I ended up running that business. I experienced every aspect of it from using the machinery, doing the labor intensive tasks, managing the financial reports, the people, to the customer services. And the unavoidable headaches that come with all this. I gained more knowledge, experience, and skill than 4 years of University would ever have given me. And instead of paying fees for the -quote- learning, and getting school loans that would take decades to pay back, I was paid to learn and teach myself via the ongoing experiences. This worked great for me, but for sure it was a roller coaster ride of up and down, fun and not so fun. An intense phase of full engagement with all the polarities in the field of waves and particles we live in.
In The Game we can talk about the roller coaster as the phase of non-coherent light. Many colors playing in the field, oscillating frequencies in the waves of each color. I can think of that as the daytime life, the sun is out whether we see it or not, shining a full spectrum of light directly on a portion of earth's daytime. The masses go outside and do the daily work in whatever field is calling. The night time can be thought of as an experience of phase coherent light. The majority of the masses go back inside, the sun is not shining. Perhaps not now in our age, but in past ages before tech and electricity the night time was something like phase coherent light. A period of singular consistent rhythm, a family experiencing restful sleep in the same frequency of coherent breathing in and out. Lights are out, darkness is monochromatic. Of course a full moon shining light and reflected color through the darkness could disrupt the coherence. keep reading
