Lesson 273: There Are Not Only Two States...

…of the sacred and the mundane. It is said that it is all one state that is infinite within the fabric of time, space, dimensions, layers and Universe. Today we are to just open ourselves to this even if it’s just for 10 seconds – the concept of one state. Know that where ever you are in this moment is just perfect.

As I mentioned in the previous post, I definitely mix the mundane with the sacred. I just go about my day as if that is normal. I never thought about it all being one state, though I guess that makes sense now. I think about it as labels and why am I labelling something as sacred versus the other that is mundane. Maybe everything I do is just in it’s normal state. It’s like saying that the sacred is at a higher state than a mundane task but what if they are just as equally as important as the other?

I started practising writing down my achievements in a book every day. I write washing dishes as an achievement. I think it’s acknowledging those small wins but for sometimes, it’s a big task for another. I decided to do this to help with my depression because washing dishes was such a hard task for me during that time. I was so happy when I broke the cycle and told myself I could wash the dishes. Even though this seems like a mundane task, it was a HUGE achievement for me. I think everything that I do, whether it’s sacred or mundane, is a success. So maybe this practise was to show me that it’s all interconnected. Like literally everything we do is in these interweaved states that combine them as one. I feel like this can take a whole other philosophical approach and my brain does not want to go there tonight. I totally get what the lesson is but you could talk hours on it.

Lesson 272: It is Hard to Understand...

…everything in human existence all at once. It’s not possible for the brain to grasp everything whether it is all the simple things or complex concepts. We can’t grasp it all at once especially the sacred and the mundane. Today we are to think about a mundane thing in our lives and make it sacred and also do one thing that is sacred whilst doing something mundane.

I kind of mix up my mundane and sacred more than I realise. It’s not that I mean to, it’s just that it happens that way. My mundane activity was to go for a walk along the main river of Melbourne. I didn’t know where I was going but I just walked to get some exercise in. Whilst I was doing this activity, I stopped to appreciate nature and the animals. I was praying that one day the river would be clean and that the ducks would have better waters to live in. This was my sacred mixed in with a very mundane task.

On the other hand, I was doing sacred work with friends that night which involved tarot and oracle readings. We ate Mcdonald’s (I only ate chips as I’m vegetarian) and ate chocolate. We also talked shit whilst doing what I normally would consider my sacred work.

I unintentionally did these activities this day before knowing the lesson. I think I do this a lot. I sometimes put up my witches shield as I’m walking to work. I meditate whilst the noise at work is going around. I meditate whilst I am in the shower. I also chant whilst in the shower too. I just think it’s normal to not over think and just do my spiritual work during mundane tasks.
