Subject: [K-list] interim report earning a living
From: Druout
On 2002/06/24 12:37, Druout posted thus to the K-list:
Dear List,
Ten people so far have responded to the "earning a living" poll. The
responses have been very interesting :)) If there are any more responses,
I'll add them to the totals.
To the question Have you had difficulty reconciling k with earning a living?
Seven people responded positivily to the question. Most wrote that it
influenced their ability to work at certain jobs or that they couldn't work
at all with an active K. Another worried about the possibility of not
functioning well in the future. Another said he almost dropped out of
school.
On the other hand, one person wrote that it K actually helped with work by
giving him an objective calm.
Some of the comments:
I can't work for people who lie, kiss-butt, or knowingly poison the
evironment. Lies in employment ads stand out like a sore thumb to me. I
can't bring myself to even respond to most ads that I know I'm qualified for
because I can sense a falsehood in the ad. Unfortuneately most of the honest
ads don't pay nearly as well. Plus, I WILL NOT "prostitute" myself just for
money. There has to be some inate value to the job I am performing, not just
financial compensation.
...
You could say that. Almost dropped out of school. Absent count was greater
then attendance count. Then again I still did maintain an A average. *phew*
...
I have never been working when my K was active. After 'big boom' K
experiences which for me as near as I can tell are NDE's complete with life
review. I experience serious depression afterwards. Sooner or later I do get
some sort of a job. Once I almost went bankrupt first, though.
...
I experience something akin to
personality crisis when I'm in a place of work that dosn't suit,
which has been accompainied by an opening of the chakras, and when
one is open to feelings and emotions from those around the work
place, we get anxiety and other such maladies.
...
Yes.. Emotional turbulence has effected job performance to both
extremes. Sometimes feeling unable to cope, and other times excelling.
...
I am wondering if I will be ok If I spend all this money we dont have on a
degree? what will my condition be by the time I get it? what if I put us
in major debt and then cant use it? So as you can see this is a future ?
for me :)
...
No .It gave me an objective calm approach dealing with the 25 men I
supervised. They sensed my calmness. The Co. urged me to accept promotion. I
refused.
**********
To the question: Has K influenced you to change your profession or job?
Most people either said yes or that they desired changes.
Comments:
I have had more jobs in the past 20 years than any other 5 people combined.
Same reasons as above. I sense when I'm being lied to and I take for a
little while, then I have to leave. My resume' reads like an obituary. Also
I get infuriatingly bored with repititious activity. If I could find a job
where I could do something completely different everyday I might have a
little more luck sticking with it. Fat chance! :^)
...
It's influenced me to try.
...
Not really. But for the first time in my life I wanted to leave my urban
home and go somewhere peaceful. (aggh! everywhere I look, the bright yellow
M surrounded by smells of Bigmacs + fries!) o_O
...
My intrests in life have very much changed my passion is alternative healing
and Spirituality I love it, but it has affected my Reiki so much becuase I
give attunements often which I absolutely love but I know that the higher the
attunement the stronger my K buzz will be the rest of the night and I try to
never do more than one per 6 hr period. I do love doing it though so it
would take an awful lot to make me stop, it truly makes me happy.
...
It's made me look for a simpler path. Try to remove myself from
complexity.
...
Changed my interests ,hobbies, belief systems.
*********
To the question: If you have changed your job or profession, what have work
have you found that was easier to accommodate to k manifestations?
The following jobs were mentioned: Landscaping, gardening, writing, creative
woodworking, designing and building furniture, people oriented jobs, stay at
home jobs, jobs with variety.
Some comments:
I started my own landscaping business last year and did really well for a
while, but now I'm having difficulty getting any new contracts
...
Became a creative woodworker,designing ,building furniture.
...
Never did find change. But I will.. 5 years from now. *sigh*
....
Writing
...
Hopefully the job I have now, we'll see, though
...
Being a stay at home mom is prob the best thing for me right now I cant
imagine getting up to go to work after being up all night during the rises
and during the day when I have strong episodes, how would a person cope
around all the people? I find other peoples energy can make me much worse.
...
I've contemplated becoming a gardener but it's a bit too big
a step at the moment.
...
I've been looking for a more people orientated job for a while.. I just
got offered a manager position which will be a first for me, so will see
how things role. It should be a challenge as I am not one to order
people around, but hope I can be effective whilst listening to Goddess
within.
********
To the question: Has K given you "a mission"? everyone responded positively.
Comments:
Yes definately: Put all else aside and get to know the divine.
...
Most certainly
...
It always seems to, but I've never seem to take them seriously enough to
work them through.
...
I really would like to see the Human
Potential movement get off of the ground. My whole life has changed since
1979.
...
:) I like to detach from ideas about having a mission or purpose in
life, just to get a higher perspective... but when I come down to earth,
;) there are still things I am passionate about. "In service to the mass
consciousness shift" sums it up nicely, with a secondary purpose in
female empowerment and promoting sexual freedom. Following my bliss...
...
"communion with the Consciousness of the Kosmos" and
intoduce people to mysticism.
...
"Heartlight... why do I live?"
"learning gives you purpose."
"What am I supposed to do?"
"The art of happiness."
...
Funny you should ask. It does seem that I've been given a mission,
though I havn't been let in on what it might be.
...
Yes, My two goals in this life are to love my family and heal myself
emotionally and spiritually.
...
I thought it had in a way.. but I think now if anything it is to
surrender everything and be true to myself (Goddess being me).
******
And finally, to the question: Has K activated any previously dormant
talents?
It has given me a deeper insight and understanding into life in general.
This is both a blessing and a curse. Kind of a Cassandra Complex; as soon
as I claim to know anything at all most people take the attitude that I have
no experience in that area and thus my opinion is invalid. Never mind that I
have been proved right time and time again.
...
Oh, God yes :) Photography, poetry, virtual dj
mixing, logo/visual design, and the aforementioned
writing.
And singing
...
Only siddhis. They come and go, for the most part, though a few hang
around.
...
Yes . additional to creative woodworking I just completed a 250 page book
on mysticism,spirituality. There are 5 people who have chosen me as there
guru-mentor.
...
I can flare my nostrils with some success.
I can't leap tall buildings, or KameHameHa anything into a ball of flame.
but my quality and depth of contimplation has never been better.
....
my biggest changes have been my desire to learn everything and anything ...
Also I have developed the second sight which has been a really neat
experience and have become so much more intuitive to the other side and this
one. But the greatest gift for me is being so close to the spiritual aspect
of life feeling and seeing and being able to meditate with the K at night so
easily I used to have to really try to meditate now the K does it all for me.
...
Empathy ramped right up. Have to be choosy about where I place my
attention now. Also found myself to be more creative than before.
...
Funny you should ask. It does seem that I've been given a mission,
though I havn't been let in on what it might be. The important thing
at the moment is to develop those dormant talents so as to be able to
deal with the mission when it comes. Even the talents are still in
development and as of yet undefined, but I start to feel that I'm
capable of a great deal more than what I've been up to. Just learning
how to think, really. Or at least, how not to think.
End
Thanks everyone!
Love, Hillary
