Crawling in the dark with a candle

[thefool]

I say it's a far better use of time to try and understand the relationship you have with your father in law. Or to figure out just why you get angry when your spouse doesn't put her shoes to the side of the room instead of leaving them in the middle... Or do try and figure out why your first response is a lie when you are asked about being late for a meeting. Or, of course, taking on the bigger and more obvious issues you might have. (We <i>all</i> have <i>some</i> issues...) That's the real meat of what we're doing here I think- even if we get the conclusions wrong, the mere effort of trying to love more honestly or live more in harmony with yourself is a worthy goal and probably means the world to our overall goals across incarnations.

Yea! that is pretty much it. That is where rubber meets the road. The rest all is just preparation or coaching to do this part right. This is also a great indicator of our progress... For simplicity I break down the life events in 4 major groups- Health (relationship of self to self), Relationship of self to others including plants and animals, relationship of self to abundances and resources and finally the relationship of self to work or ability to share your best with the world.

So called Devil is in the details and I say that God is also in the details. These little details of life will tell you your life plans and your blocks and your lessons. Just observer the common patterns and you have it.
