Now's the time!

Now's the time to push beyond text. (Sounds like a
statement in time of revolution...) The Spirit
understood Word, the Work understood, lived, done, in
real time; the Homeric epics as lived now in everyday
events and journey (the same with Grail literature).

You've got to get in the arms of higher influence.

Higher law.

The road is there. Walk.

Stay on your horse in the battles.

Mixed metaphors.

But imagine a fellow Work person who just takes off
into the actual practice.

A side note: I am impressed with how Riplinger uses
Bible verses to accompany her points in her writing.
They always have a strong and apt impact. She finds
them and is able to remember them. It comes across as
strong and a kind of use that seems to involve a
bonding between the person and the Spirit. It's the
same verses for everybody, but it's relative. - C.

This is good advice... I sometimes wonder why I can't seem to achieve
the same degree of Work intensity that I achieved about 2.5 years ago.
It was a beautiful time of my life; I felt like I had one foot in a
higher realm, all be it intense in the extreme (emotionally). It was
like living in actual fire, yet it was REAL. Moments of life were
outside linear time - moments of being fully awake.

I think laziness is the answer. I want to get back to where I was then.
Another part of me doesn't though......

In a way I'm sort of afraid of it. I felt like I was half mad....

There's alot going on in all that. You get acclimated to the level you achieve. More is demanded of you to further 'tap' C Influence. Because, simply for practical reasons of level of being. There is also this subject of spiritual desertion that has been identified by theologians over the centuries, where you enter periods where things are not as alive as they were before. Testing valuation, perhaps. Other testings.

Also, regarding the need to develop both knowledge and being, getting knowledge is the easier of the two, generally speaking. Or getting stuck with a level of 'knowledge getting'. It's more difficult to launch into the friction-with-the-world (and oneself) activity of real Work effort.

Also, don't forget, the more you awaken the more you awaken to the realization of this world being a prison. It's depressing. No where to go, nothing to do. You lose all the illusions and fascinations. So, at that point, you find out whether you really value more just recurring in your time, in sleep, getting new and better cars, or actually escaping from your time.

On the other side of it, harder to see, is the building of your inner, spiritual body. Memory, understanding, will. Developing in REAL understanding, and REAL will, and attaining REAL awakening and unburying conscience. Having real perspective of where you are and what you need to do. Being something that can stand in that 'evil day'...
