Some things you encounter click for you right away. Some are like time bombs that go off when you least expect it, giving you some kind of explosion in your psyche. For me
one such was Hypnos-Rêveur’s new video Adventure Games. (http://www.youtube.com/my_subscriptions?pi=0&ps=20&sf=added&sa=0&sq=&dm=2&s=91VZGiOnDcw#) I saw the video this morning, was impressed by the talent, then headed out to the gym.
I’ve been finding my workouts gaining a whole new flavour this past couple of weeks. Moments where i am totally focused on lifting the weight (totally mindful) then all of a sudden getting struck by an idea or concept. it’s gotten so that my workout log has taken on the function of recording what is going through my head during a workout as well.
Today i was on my first set, when a voice inside my head said “Stop looking for cheat codes” I realized then that I’ve been looking for some kind of short cut to this ‘level’ of my life. Some way of getting ‘on’ with things. This was huge. There is nothing about my life that I hate or dislike, I am just so ready, in my mind to ‘move on’ Of course this fails the basic test of whether it is time to move on or not. If it was time, then I would and the way would open up before me..
This kind of jibed with the Fool reading I did a couple of days ago. It said I tend to leave things before completion. When they are good but not finished.
Of course this means that, in adventure game terms, I would miss the three treasures, two clues, and four power ups I will need to get through the next stage.
There are no real short cuts on the path.
