Stuck at Work for a Reason - (928)

Introduction

As people who begin to see that what really matters is using our time to work on ourselves we naturally don’t want to be spending large amounts of our time on things that are not to do with the work. And so we logically don’t want to really be at work working hard in an office, shop, yard or wherever it may be that we are employed.


A Reason

Though we are there in our place of work for a particular reason, a reason other than to earn money so to pay for our food and shelter and other needs.

We have to find that reason, and that reason has something to do with our psychology and of course karma. But I would say more to do with acquiring some psychological value that we are not cultivating. Instead we are cultivating the opposite of it and that is what keeps us stuck there in that workplace.


When we decide to cultivate that value we begin to also pay off any karmic debts that we have accumulated from not cultivating that value in the first place.

An example of a reason could be that we are always just doing the minimum and are taking always more than giving and we don’t like to integrate ourselves into the project and co-operate fully with our attention, our dedication and our good will.


General Formula to Become Unstuck

We are stuck at work for some reason or reasons, we may think that we should not be working and should be able to give all to Gnosis but the reality is that we are stuck in the office or shop or yard etc., and we are stuck there for a special ultimately esoteric or spiritual reason.

So the formula is to first find out what that reason is. That reason can be found in the direction of what we are not giving or doing. It is in what we dislike or resist. Keeping that dislike or resistance is what is keeping us stuck.

What we have to develop is the exact opposite of that resistance.

The next step is to start to develop that value by exercising that value and dissolving the concepts and beliefs and resistance inherent to the opposite of that value.


Conclusion

Work hard to develop the value and then developing it we begin to leave that scenario and that frustration and experience something different and new. Sometimes we can leave the scenario all together or still be there but in a totally different state.
