I'm back to work tonight after a 3 week break. It's been most productive, and a very fluent time.
and even though I'm back to work, I'm only part-time at my job (a personal choice), so I still have plenty of hours that I can consider to be 'my own', and can allocate to the processing and integrating of catalyst that is triggered during the bouts of ordinary living.
I definitely appreciate that I am able to make the lifestyle that I've chosen work for me; in the sense that the bills are still paid, and that its a work/life balance (to use a cliche) that is most definitely in my favor. It's something I appreciate and have gratitude for most definitely.
but I know that many people don't have such an option available to them. Either the profession/career in which they work is 40-60 hours per week, or if they do more shift type work, then overtime is usually available on the 6th day, and it can help cover the bills to work that extra day. So working 8 hrs or more each day is a given, and extended over 5 or more days.
that's just how our society and economy is constituted right now.
although, there are plenty of stories of people making it on their own (Monica was an example of someone who made a home business work for her), and everyone finds their own way to navigate the money/work/responsibilities equation for themselves.
but its also the case that the catalyst is intense upon this plane (both intense in quality of experience, and also abundance) and that we do need some time to process it. The most obvious example of this for me is dreamwork. If you wake-up to the alarmclock, and get straight up and do your 30-40 min preparation routine (bathroom, shower, breakfast, clothes, grab phone off recharger, pack workstuff, get keys, race out the door), you aren't going to remember your dreams in any way, and absolutely won't have a chance to decode them before the day gets underway.
so we really need to give ourself a chance to work with the catalyst that is exposed (and during a work day, there is plenty that will trigger reactions), and utilise that experience to the fullest.

so there is definitely a sense that leisure time is of significance.

in fact, for those who have had the privelege/honor of attending college or university, one of the great boons of that type of experience is having heaps of freetime. Now, you can use that freetime however you please, and getting drunk is most definitely a popular choice. But you also have the opportunity of meeting/socialising in unexpected ways, and just exploring the aspects of life as a young adult; and having the freedom to stuff up and try new things. Its opportunity in the greatest sense.
and so yes, there is always a balance to these things. Too much leisure can have untoward consequences, much like too much work has untoward consequences. We each have to find the balance point thats most comfortable with where we are at present. And that can take some doing to implement and make into a reality that both pays the bills, and enables a fulfilling inner and social life.
namaste all.
life is an ongoing balancing act here!!

Ra had this thought on Tesla and his original mission of bringing unlimited energy to this 3d sphere:
Quote:11.28 Ra: I am Ra. The product of such a freeing would create two experiences.
Firstly, the experience of no need to find the necessary emolument for payment, in your money, for energy.
Secondly, the leisure afforded, thereby exemplifying the possibility and enhancing the probability of the freedom to then search the self for the beginning of seeking the Law of One.
Few there are working physically from daybreak to darkness, as you name them, upon your plane who can contemplate the Law of One in a conscious fashion.
and:
Quote:11.29 Questioner: What about the Industrial Revolution in general. Was this planned in any way?
Ra: I am Ra. This will be the final question of this session.
That is correct. Wanderers incarnated in several waves, as you may call them, in order to bring into existence the gradual freeing from the demands of the diurnal cycles and lack of freedom of leisure.
so there is definitely a sense that leisure time is of significance.
