Renewing the Ways we Feed the Soul...
This Sunday's meeting seems to have picked up where we left off last week. Last week the topic leaned toward how to keep the machine from "taking the state". This week we found ourselves asking ... where do we find the hydrogens to feed the state? We find ourselves in the moment ... Present ... and this state needs fuel to be sustained. This question seems to come up often lately.
Just as one feeds the body food when it is hungry ... or else it gets weak and descends into negativity ... one must feed the inner world as well. This leads to the lamb and wolf lying together, for "now the soul needs the machine".
I'm reminded of the example of one being hungry and being served boiled chicken. Initially this is great because you're starving ... you're excited ... you have a meal ... this feeds you. But if each meal you have for the next month is boiled chicken, quickly one will get complacent about the meal, ugh boiled chicken again? They will eat it, and it will feed the instinctive center, but the level of hydrogens has changed since the first meal of boiled chicken. So now we have many different recipes for chicken ... we don't always have to eat it boiled.
Being given this gift from the gods, we have a responsibility to our inner worlds ... and to each other's as well ... to continually renew our ways of feeding the Soul ... to sustain the state as long as possible.
