Judgements, Garbage Man Reading Story, & Humble Pie

I'm inspired by the muse to write this entry which calls me to recall a memory from a reading that I did in my very early days of my practice...2018. The start of this journey when I was incredibly naive, wide-eyed with excitement, and curious about what was happening to me. Those days were about people texting or calling me since I didn't have a website. I'd travel throughout Long Island while also doing phone readings. A lot of work and very little pay since I was putting myself through an intern-like state as I learned and grew and learned and learned more.

I had an excellent morning walk as my feet are finally adjusting to my new plan to combat gout. Slowly increasing the intensity of my exercise and walking into day 28 of OP HEALTHBOD. I'm still plant-based, I still don't count calories, I still am feeling so satisfied with every meal, not feeling hungry, and I'm continuing to lose the weight I gained from 2024's year of...challenges.

This morning, I kept reliving this one specific phone reading that I believe I did in 2018. I don't think it was 2019 since I believe I still had my red appointment book which I scribbled down readings that I scheduled. This was also before I recorded my phone readings and before I started to transcribe my readings. It was definitely 2018.

Remember that I don't like to go into details from readings since readings are confidential and I don't have a desire to share specifics. Thank goodness I don't have the "look at me and validate me" bug.

I will share this detail though. I can't even remember the woman's name that I read. I just remember sitting on my bed at my dad's house and calling her at the appointment time.

I can't remember how this happened. I'm sure I had some Introductory Noun and Details which led me to this topic. What happened was that we were discussing her husband. She declared her dissapointment and even distaste that her husband was working as a garbage man. She resented this and felt ashamed that her husband was providing food on the table for his family with a job which she (and others) deemed to be less-than-desirable.

I'm walking on the treadmill this morning, up to 7.0 incline, and this memory kept blanketing my Mind Tool.

I think this memory's purpose is to discuss the judgements we place on ourselves and others as well as the belief that we all need "spectacular jobs" and that we just need to "think spectacular into reality". All the nonsense we see parading the internet. Manifestation Courses. Law of Attraction workshops. Almost Bible Verses declaring that we can have anything we want, do anything we want, and be everything we want if we just use Reality Creation Principles correctly. If something doesn't happen...then it is our fault because our "vibe was off".

As I get older (I'm nearing my 34th Birthday), I just see how much our culture is contorted and crafted to idolize and strive to achieve the "spectacular". Tik Tok and other social media platforms ensnaring us with the belief that we are to become a public figure, an influencer, and that life only matters when we attain what we want as we work our "spectacular job".

This morning...I'm recalling the memory and thinking to myself that this man is working a steady job with a steady income and is providing for his family. He may even feel ashamed that he is working this job, but he is doing it. At least he isn't just on the couch, lazy, and doing whatever he could to avoid working. He was doing what he had to do.

As I get older, I just see the theatrics of our culture. The lies and the manipulation contorting people to believe that they must have all the material things they desire and that they can literally obtain everything they want. "Spiritual Circles" just blatantly taking advantage of people's wounding and then offering them "teachings" which are a bastardization and extremely limited and curated presentation of Reality Creation.

What is wrong with being a garabge man? I may not be using the proper term for this job, but seriously, what is wrong with being a garbage man? This role is necessary for society. It provides people with a stable job and steady income. Why was this person declaring that it is shameful for her husband to be a garbage man?

Life is so Complex. We have Reality Creation capabilities, but we aren't living in Harry Potter where we could just wave a wand and manifest. Actually, the wizards and witches in HP can't even do what some "teachings" declare we could do in this reality.

We have our own journeys. We all have our filters and beliefs we absorbed from society and this deeply materialistic culture driven by the Influencer and Celebrity.

I've manifested things in my life and I've also observed manifestations not coming to fruition.

Caroline Myss discusses about this type of thing. Believe that we are so "special" and that we "deserve".

Lessons we all have while we walk this Earth. Cosmic Influences reflected in Astrology.

Life isn't Simple.

As I get older, I eat more and more slices of Humble Pie. Humility. Growing out of what I abosrbed by culture. Purging nonsense and avoiding all the true Snake Oil which further decreases the respect for the Sacred Intuitive Arts.

We all work our journey and we all have things we have to do that aren't glamorous nor spectacular.

Life is Complex.
