RETROGRADE MOTION

When progress stops and we slide backward into old habits, it may be said that we are experiencing Retrograde Motion.  What is happening?  Can progress be unmade?

Or are we being re-tested?

When one thinks of Life’s great engine and its mechanics, you might see literally, the microcosm and macrocosm of its working parts fitting and working together in harmony and in dys-harmony as the ages pass.  Perhaps you have made repairs to your own working machinery as you have found its dys-functions or dys-harmonies, believing that you may now proceed unimpeded, forever free of that condition in your future.

Alas . . . you might find that the old fear, mythology, reaction, anger, bias, prejudice, or hatred rises again.  This time, however, you see it for what it is.  You see it earlier and more clearly.  Perhaps you are able to see it immediately, even as it is affecting you.  Why then, does it have the power to affect you, if this is so?

Are you slipping into a backward state of affairs?  Are you regressing?  No.  You are simply revisiting a known condition and comparing it against today’s different (and hopefully, Higher) abilities.  How do you handle these potential pitfalls today as compared to yesterday?  Are you better able today to respond rather than to react?

When you find yourself in Retrograde Motion, do not be alarmed.  Use this opportunity to test yourself and your Higher skills.  Can you be as Mentor rather than Student?  Advisor rather than Seeker?

Can you use Retrograde Motion, a time of suspension and illusion, to dispel the mythology of backward motion and instead embrace it as a time of accomplishment?  The answer is:  Yes.
