The Illusion of Cycles



"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning,
but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

Maria Robinson

N: "JNET, I am stuck in a cycle."

After some thought, something dawned on me.

JNET: "N, is it possible to consider that the cycle does not exist. Perhaps the cycle is a superstition."

A superstition? Those cycles of failures in life, one's shortcomings... a superstition?

Why not? Some people follow superstitions for good luck, some create the opposite.

It seems more expansive to take on a spiral paradigm, that one's slinky is either ascending or descending... depending on where one intends to move along... Whether one progresses on not is not a cycle... it's inertia.

To believe in only seeing the recurring "cycle" of life's failures and mishaps sounds like a way to adopt superstitious notions and dropping one's power... and responsibility...

SUPERSTITION: an irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear

Some thoughts to play with.

  1. Thank you for reminding me that there is no spoon, Princess. Time to rid myself of rusty slinkies that descend into fear and anger, and empower myself with thoughts of love, healing and reconciliation.
