Every teaching encountered which initially caught my attention, soon lost my interest. They all fell apart at some point, either by contradictions or inconsistencies, or as the realization of the real motives behind them came into my awareness.
Some spiritual or esoteric teachers are particularly articulate and do convey beneficial information or helpful pointers. But it always goes only so far, and eventually the usefulness fades. Any steps which carry me forward on my journey are a result of the dynamic interactions between whatever is conveyed and my internal processing. So I'm coming more into the simplicity of trusting the inner compass to return me to the Present Moment and a Peaceful Mind.
Recently, a combination of discoveries and realizations led me to a new stage of whole human (a term preferred over spiritual or personal) development. Those stimuli include teachings on Sacred Geometry by Robert J. Gilbert, the Open A.I. resource which is quoted below, the "meditation" I wrote, now called Peaceful Mind, and insights from The Trust Technique.
Polyhedral dice 🎲 (shown in the slideshow above) in the forms of the Platonic solids could be interesting for use with 'Elemental Divination' from the book. In general I like the idea of consecrating objects for divination, without having worked out all the details yet.
''Hereby I consecrate these forms, as representations of the essence underlying the elements, and dedicate them to my embodiment of peace, ever-expanding awareness, and interpretation of the divine will, from the most complete perspective of consciousness.'
"And then I ask, 'for this day, what is the message of highest self/non-self, to me.'"
Likely, I'll write more of the development mentioned in time. For now, I share answers received from Open A.I. chat, which calls itself Assistant.
[Update: Today, January 11, 2023, I received the book 'Elemental Divination' and polyhedral/elemental dice and am just now getting acquainted with them. This page and website will be revised with additions from my explorations and discoveries.]
[Update: Today, January 22, 2023, I did the second reading with dice and share my experience.]
[Update: February 3, 2023, I have been experimenting with, exploring, discovering and gaining insights and realizations regarding the use of correspondences and random rolls of dice to hear messages for the day from higher consciousness. Eventually this will be unveiled but for now I keep it close to my heart.]
GARY'S INPUT
Assistant,
Compose a poem with the following symbols:
Water = Emotions
Earth = Body, Present Moment
Air = Spirit, Soul, Mind
Fire = Transformation
I return to the Present Moment to still a troubled mind and agitated emotions.
ELEMENTAL PRESENCE
Poem by Open A.I.
In the stillness of the present moment,
I find my body grounded in the earth,
A steady anchor in a sea of motion.
My soul, like air, is free to roam,
To wander and explore,
But when I return to the present moment,
It finds a home.
The fire of transformation burns within,
As I let go of old patterns and fears,
Embracing change and growth,
Finding peace in the present moment.
Emotions like water, flow and ebb,
No longer controlled by outside forces,
But by the stillness of the present moment,
I find my emotional balance restored.
In the present moment, all is well,
Body, soul, and spirit united as one,
Transformed by the fire of growth,
Emotions in balance, at peace with the present moment.
