Wow, I remember when I first posted this, I was in the midnight of my Dark Night of the Soul.
Looking back, it was a result of tuning into multiple frequencies of my own spirit, and I didn't know it.
If we look to ourselves as we are in our mundane everyday existence, we only see one (or only a few) dimension(s) of ourselves.
During this time, I was going through alot of stress, and doing different meditations to help keep a grip on myself in order to know my true purpose in life. Unfortunately, I was trying to hold onto too many things while "Only having two hands." As a result, I opened up a plethora of frequencies and I took in more than I could make sense of. If anything, I did so in ignorant haste. Haste because I wasn't ready to do so, and ignorance because I didn't even know what I was doing, much less how to make sense of any of it. If anything, I could describe it as trying to build castles, or rather, pyramids in the sky. If you subscribe to the Maslow theory, I tried to build a construct of the upper eschelons of my spiritual being without first establishing my need to take care of my own capital gains, my own health, my own habits, my sense of order and ethic, the ability to be enjoyable company to myself and others....the list goes on and on just to say that I had, in the Maslow sense, a "Pyramid Crash."
Of course, one year earlier, I had a complete "Pyramid crash," that took a long time to clean up. What happened during the writing of this first post was an attempt to reconstruct what I knew. Unfortunately, I kept my focus on the "Capstone," in all it's splendour, and not the "cornerstone," which I have recently learned that I need a new one altogether (maybe. I don't know. I am still trying to clean up my mess!).
It's hard to make a temple just out of it's precious jewels. One needs the hard rocks, the overlooked slabs of limestone, and the dense marbles to build the walls and pillars before they decorate their special place with the finest Lapis, Sapphires, and the like.
This took me a year and a half to learn. Learning magick as a mortal can be really hard, especially when you have mortal affairs to attend to. Even more so when they can stress you out and confuse you! (IMG:
