The question came up in class last week in respect to spirituality. Is the consciousness evolution path easier if you are single or married? The answer Don gave was single.
He is right. It is easier to be on a spiritual path when one is single. The example he gave is that when you want to change something in your life, you can change it without taking any one else into consideration. When you are married, you are changing the marriage contract when you change yourself.
I have also heard Don, Yogi Bhajan and other teachers say that the fastest way to consciously evolve is in a conscious relationship. If you are both on the path, you are constantly mirrors for each other, which forces you to evolve twice as fast (if 1+1=2) or (as YB would say) eleven times as fast (if 1+1=11).
So, it is a question of destiny and commitment to the destiny you choose. This is where I think men get a bad wrap. Of course you have heard that all men have a fear of commitment and must be trapped into it?
I believe that both men and women have a difficult time deciding whether to marry, it just happens at different times in the process. Read the complete Post.
The full moon energy has felt pretty light this month, but powerful nonetheless. I feel like it has been pretty easy to remain calm and observe my reactions. The only time I felt my emotional state get completely agitated a little bit negative and reactive was at work when the server for our websites went down (while the hosting guy is on vacation!) That’s what I get for going to work on my day off, on my period during a full moon! Luckily Hari Singh was there to help me chill out.
Once calm, I enjoyed spending the rest of the afternoon sorting through pictures from years gone by for the Flickr account. (A perfectly sane way to spend the full moon workday) All are neatly tagged and titled now, cleanly sorted into sets and collections.
The reason I went to work was in fact to go to the Ladies Full Moon Meditation. It’s been a while since I’ve gone, mainly because I work at the same place, and often I’ve gone home by 6:30. It was super sweet to gather with other women and be cozy meditating. A lot of people I’ve never met were there, as well as some old friends. Being with women in such a high vibration really inspired me (even more) to cultivate my Goddess energy. (My friend Seva is my number one Goddess Energy checker - I feel like every time she looks at me when I am being less than me, she’s saying - “um… are you being a goddess right now?”) To sit there and focus on the healing energies of the meditation and chanting put me in a great space for going home to an empty house. No bullshit, no awkwardness, just me being me. I’ve been getting to this place more and more, and the more often I go there, the easier it becomes.
I went home after in a true state of bliss singing to the new GuruGanesha CD (which rocks my world!). I got some sush, and a movie (not to mention chocolate) and settled into my herman with my spinning wheel and some Marino. A deliciously creative night - light and sweet.
What a beautifully powerful time.

Today I tripped over the 500 GB hard drive cord at work (the one that holds the backups for all the computers and the 12000 or so photos that need to go onto flickr) and sent it flying across the desk to stop finally, inches from the floor, held only by its usb cable. Then I lost my friend’s debit card with her pin number stuck to the front of it and didn’t realize until 6 hours later. At that point it was pretty easy for me to lose all sight of calmness and go into full on guilt filled blame for my own stupidity, carelessness and insensitivity for other people’s things.

I am not generally one to invest a lot of my thoughts into these sorts of shenanigans - sure, I figure it has an effect, but I’m generally not sensitive enough to be stopped by it. Mercury retrograde. Sounds so innocent, like backwards day at elementary school, or retro star gazing, but no.
Not this time.

My mom was right, I only do things when and if I want to do them. This is the precipice blocking my journey to conscious evolution. Not only that, but I have denied it for my whole life - hence a precipice and not a small brick wall. For years, I blamed it on her and her timing. ‘No mom, its jut that you always want me to do what you want when you want me to do it.” Read the complete Post.
