The situations we experience give us information. Sometimes we think information is all there is. This happened then this happened. These are the facts.
For example, I know that I went through something recently that did not deliver what it promised or I expected.
Along with the facts are the feelings of dissatisfaction. I may have some conflicts with these feelings because I wanted to like this. I invested a lot in it and I had expectations that I would emerge enlightened and informed. Instead I emerged disappointed and confused. These are my feelings in response to the facts. I take my information and my feelings and I come up with an image. The image is that the people and program were flawed and that it is a failed circumstance with which I am unhappy. Upon this scrutiny I decide to walk away and endure the loss of my investment and the end of that dream.
I process it in my journal. I write: “It hasn’t turned out as I imagined it would and I am ready to walk away, to terminate my association. Then there is what I may not know about me that makes it play out this way. And there is what I don’t know about Spirit, about the good of this, the heaven of this. I dwell on the bad of this, the ruins of this. It is final. It is finished. It is not good and not heaven. I am finished.
Or do I actively seek the Light? Do I say I follow the light? I followed the light into this. I can follow the light out of this or on to the next of this. Where are we going? Is it over? Is there no more to be hoped for or attained?
Have I gotten the best that I can and have I been the best that I can? Have I given the best of what I have to offer? Have I made the Spirit of God, as it moves through me more apparent for my participation? Have I brought anything to the party? Have I been lifted so that others may be lifted?
We often mistake information for knowledge. I may know that it wasn’t good for me and it is important for me to acknowledge this, but can this be a stepping-stone instead of a disappointment? As a disappointment it is a setback, a final failure. As a stepping-stone it is a learning experience through which I can continue with the spirit of adventure that knows another step is possible, that success is possible, that a link may be forged instead of broken.
Where at first I thought I would walk away, now I believe that I will remain engaged, though in a different way. In deciding to walk away I saw myself as someone who had been failed by others. By staying engaged, I take responsibility. By taking responsibility I get to author, not just react. I get to do some good, though I don’t yet know what it is.
When you have three lines connected to each other, you have the first form, the triangle. Three also represents imagination. With four you get to scrutinize what you imagine, remembering that what you imagine is a combination of the known and the unknown. What you know (one) and what you feel (two) takes form in thoughts, words and deeds (three).
With true scrutiny (four), you take responsibility and with the taking of responsibility comes power. The Seeing Eye sees through your eyes and you are able to own the unknown, to take responsibility for what you can’t see as well as what you can see.
This enables you to rule and to prevail. You do not say, “The woman made me eat,” as Adam, allegorical man, said. You say, “I ate it. I bought it. My bad.” Cinching four, you get 10. You get a do over. You get to try again, to make it better or to make it right. Take two! Take three! Take as many as it takes. You will get it right because you can count on Nature to give it to you when you get it right. 10 is a new (0) beginning (1). 1+2+3+4=10. Scrutinize the products of your imagination, the combination of what you know and what you do not know but feel (1+2=3). Scrutinize and take responsibility and get your do over. Make it right!
