An Artifice to Stay Awake - (997)

Introduction

To stay awake is a choice. It happens that we have to make this voice moment by moment.

This post about giving ourselves a device or tool or artifice to make those decisions wisely so to stay awake. Note, this artifice comes from my marvellous missionary.

An owl a symbol of wisdom. Owl's always seem to rarely sleep, they always seem
to be awake, be awake and Athena or Minerva the Goddess of wisdom had an owl
by her side or had her shield adorned with one.

The Artifice

The artifice is to think or ponder carefully and choose wisely. This is not mine but comes from my marvellous missionary.

Ponder Carefully

When for example a thought appears, we should look into it carefully which is to ponder carefully. Then weigh the thought using the reference points of the work, the Being and the path.


Choose Wisely

Then make a decision, decide!

We can also use contrast in the weighing up process. Which is to bring the ego up against the work, the Being and or the path and see the result.

This makes the choice easier. We need though will to carry out the action and when we carry out our decisions we affect our destiny and our causal body, making them both stronger.

End (997).
