I am, at base, a quiet anarchist. A peaceful, self contained rotortarian. An unnamed monk.
But this weekend I visited the real world, as manifested in:
1. The table of a clairvoyant, and
2. A group of enneagram answer seekers.
The clairvoyant:
It is become apparent that I will leave my job in the next 12 months, and that this will be viewed positively by me. I have, however, to leave once I have given something back, so that there are no hard feelings. This is not my words, but another's, but I like them. It is a nice thing to do, and in my inward looking-ness I might never have thought it.
I will begin on a journey (of course, I have always known this), and there will be hardship and despondence (it wouldn't be a proper journey if there wan't!). I will have teachers along the way, the USA will play a role, but I am not to think I must grab the first offer or opportunity that comes my way. Pick and choose, use what works.
There will be weak or unfaithful teachers, but all will pass on something. Stay open minded,
It's all part of the same journey. All disparate events, thoughts, worries all eventually merge into the one.
There is never more than the one journey.
The enneagram:
There is never more than one journey, but it manifests itself differently for each type.
However, regardless of type, the journey starts with understanding where you are, what your passion is (in my case, Avarice), and how an understanding of your virtue (in my case non attachment) can get you to your type's particular holy idea (in my case omniscience or wisdom).
How I get there is through opening to the world, so that I can give (a difficult thing for enneagram type 5s), and - even more difficult, perhaps 1000 times more difficult - so that I can receive back.
Nature ebbs and flows.
