Synchronicity

[northlighthero]

So I finished last night's post and, by and by, went to bed. Part of the bedtime routine these days is to read Discourses from one of my spiritual teachers -- not anyone connected to this Yoga Teacher Training, someone I first encountered in the 1970s and have been actually reading for a couple of years, mostly nightly.

I've recently started down the path of initiation with a couple of Feri practitioners in Seattle. It's been very interesting to begin again with the basics and so far pretty good.

That's a fascinating thought. It sounds like it would help to deal with a lot of stuff one meets up with along the way.

I had a complementary insight a few years ago at the moment I embarked on yet another awesome major spiritual journey. As I was beginning to melt into the rush, there was a parallel detached-observer commentary saying: This is starting to look quite familiar. At my age, I've been through this sort of experience so many times I can already foresee how its trajectory will go from fascination/enthusiasm, to commonplace routine, to boredom and maybe even loathing, and beyond, to transcending all that and integration into the whole mix...

Because if you have a recurrent tendency toward resistance, I've always had a recurrent tendency toward acceptance. And likewise it's become apparent how much this is a psychological process of its own, not necessarily having much to do with the content of the trip. Hearing your version really helps to see mine in perspective. Thanks!
