It’s been a very blah morning. I’m not feeling bad or down. I just am very mellow and slow. I don’t want to use the word unmotivated, though some could interpret it that way. 


I had dreams again, and I am going to have to do something about writing them down when I wake up from them. It’s been a long time since I have had such awareness of my Dreamtime. Lately, the little bits I have remembered have been odd, yet significant, or they have just been weird. For instance, last night I had an entire NCIS dream. I know I’ve mentioned the show recently, but I haven’t watched it in months. So, I can’t imagine where it stemmed from. 


I read once that there were 4 types of Dreamtime. In one it is purely recreational. It is your mind relaxing and playing. This is where I would put the NCIS dream. In others, you are learning things. Such as my dream rom the night before where the words were, “You are not looking for a career.” Third, you have Dreamtime in which you are traveling planes and doing works. This is where, I believe, most of my Dreamtime falls. It would explain why I always feel I had been so very deep and can’t really remember anything. And, finally, there is any combination of the three. 


Anyway, the moral of the story is that my dreams have been more active lately and I should probably pay closer attention to that. 


Yesterday was a strange day, in and of itself. First, and foremost, it was the last day of Week 2 of our experiment and we are moving into Week 3 today. Again, 2 is a number of duality, partnership and balance. So, what all came in Week 2?

Not a lot really. It was not an overly active week, yet things happened along the way. I declared my partnership for Week 2 to be Spirit. I was not disappointed. As I was getting at, everything unfolded perfectly on time. (But, then, doesn’t it always.) I managed work and some income where it was absolutely necessary. [Well, for the most part. I am still waiting on payment so I can pay my insurance today.] 


And, in the end, I would find a ‘regular’ job.

That was really my only mission when yesterday began. I had a hiring thing I wanted to go to. Now, it’s interesting to me, because just a little over a week ago I got application information from this same company - but a different location. I was unable to find any availability in my state. Then this popped up in my social media feed. 


I went out for a management position. They did not give it to me outright. They are starting me as a crew member with the goal of raising me up the ladder to shift manager. It is a tiered process and if it all works out, I could achieve this goal in three to four weeks. 

I’m not sure I care about that anymore. I’m very non-chap at about the whole thing. Everyone else seems more excited by it than I feel. I don’t know if they are excited that I will finally have some sort of a steady and regular income or if it is because they think I have found some sort of life work. If it is the latter, I would think they are misguided. Let’s back up a moment.


When I was leaving The Dormitory to go out for the job I wasn’t feeling quite right. At first, I thought maybe I wouldn’t get anything at all. In retrospect, I suppose I knew I wasn’t going to get the position for which I was applying. Still, whatever it was, I knew something wasn’t going to go the way I was hoping or planning. 


It’s a short drive to the restaurant and I am glad of that. When, I pulled in the lot I noticed a business behind the restaurant. Now, I worked in this very restaurant about 25 years ago and this business wasn’t there. It’s a restaurant supply company. The focus is very much on food but they do have some equipment. When I pulled in the lot and saw this, I thought to myself, “Maybe this is why I am here.” I mean, with all of the messages and meditations and moments of the past few weeks, It certainly makes sense.  So, I went in after my interview and had a look around. It was interesting. 


On my way back to The Dormitory I got a text from Looch. We had been trying to make plans for lunch this week. We looked at Tuesday and then it was Wednesday. Only now his Tuesday had opened up. We decided we would do lunch yesterday. So, I came home and just rested. It was more like a meditation. 


Lunch was nice. I enjoy Looch’s presence very much. I am glad he is in my life. We talked a little bit of business. I have some projects on which I would like his creative input. We will see how that develops. (Hmmm, partnership.) 


After lunch, I came home and really just vegetated. I did not do much of anything yesterday. [And, I fear it might be the same today.] I felt good. I felt light and uplifted. So, I will not see the lack of activity as a bad thing.


Wisconsin, commented this morning on the timing of everything - such as the job. I was glad she took notice, because it was something I wanted to touch on in this writing anyway.


So, we have been working under the premise of an experiment. For so many years I have talked about things such as numbers and the patterns and cycles of my life. For me, it has become so commonplace that I often just shrug it off. For others, it can seem all very radical and ridiculous. Yet, under this experiment it has all been coming together.


Each week has been precisely as it should have been, based solely on the number of the week. I lived in a void in Week 0 - not sure of anything. In Week 1, I started to find myself and the things that are important to me and make me...well...me.


In week 2, I partnered with Spirit in looking for balance. Many things came to pass over the course of Week 2. I have created a market for some of my crafting. I have increased my retail merchandising just slightly. I found a job with some regular hours and steady income. I was approached about helping someone with some ideas he has (partnership again.) and, I initiated thoughts on projects of my own. 


Plus, let us not forget a refocus and emphasis on The Rabbit Hole.


As we move into Week 3 - the number of creation - things are helping into place. If I were going to look at the Trinity of my current creation I would say it is G-d at the uppermost point, then me to the right and this new job to the left. But, this is only so the job and I can combine forces to bring us into the lower point.


You may be wondering what lower point. A triangle only has three points and this is true. But, it is always As Above, So Below;As Below, So Above. The Trinity becomes inverted until the Plan is seen to fruition. [picture the Star of David.] I wonder if this is how 6 comes into play and power.


Anyway, as we move into Week 3, all the pieces for creation seem to be in place. All I can do is work them to the best of my ability, and by Week 4 we should see a solid foundation from which I can operate. 


It’s not just The Cycle of the weeks though. Wisconsin’s Observation was more about how it is all lining up just before Imbolc - which is what I have been saying all along. This is the Cycle of my year - every year. 


I’ll be honest, this all strokes my ego a little bit. I am glad I am documenting this process as I have been. Not just so everyone else can see it at work, but because I can. There is something to the theories and philosophies, even if I am nowhere near mastering them.


The job thing is nice but it does still leave me in a quandary. I have the same issue I was facing in December. Yes, I will be working and earning money. But, that money won’t come for two and a half weeks, and I still need to survive that long. 


Currently, I have between $72 and $82 to my name. I am waiting on one more job to be approved and that’s what creates the variance. However, $50 of that is on a store gift card. So, I can only use the money at that store. 


The job also leaves me needing to buy pants and shoes for work. Now, I can do that at this store. But, then I am spending the only money I have for groceries and such. 


The point being - I still need to generate income for the next 2-4 weeks before I am seeing a steadier inflow. I still need gas for the car. Currently, I have about a half of a tank. I still need food. There is some here but certainly not more than a few days worth. 

All I can do is just as I have been doing - take it day by day, and step by step.


Right now I am still waiting on my payments from the other day so that I can get my insurance paid before the end of the day. If those payments don’t come today I don’t know exactly what I am going to do.

Other than that my day will remain mellow. It’s laundry day, but I will most likely save that for later when Spike is here. That will give him and Hoagie some alone time. 


Normally, Wednesday is my cleaning day. I will most likely set to that but my legs are still sore and tight from the one job the other day. 


Beyond that I just need to gear myself towards tomorrow. I have my support thing at 0930. It does not seem I will have any money to take in with me but at least I have the job to put in the table.

As long as I am going to be out that way, I have a little bit of metal fro scrapping - my old brake pads, cans, etc. it wont generate much cash. But, at the moment, something is better than nothing.


Then, I am off to The Putter’s for a Safety Meeting and to take care of some business with The Professor. Along the way, I may be stopping at The College to find some stuff for them in the storage shed.


I still feel like there is something to this day I don’t quite know yet. We will see how it develops, I guess.


So, for now...Peace and Blessings, Fellow Travellers.
