SPECIFICATION & SPLINTERING

2015, FOCUS, GIFTS

AUGUST 18, 2015

When you are busy at your tasks, there are differing levels at which you apply your Self.  Some tasks are familiar and therefore, seem easier than new or infrequent tasks.  And tasks which conflict with desire, ego, and will are harder still.  The task which inflicts harm or suffering upon the Spirit itself is the most difficult, and yet history shows us examples of these occurrences, which time neither recedes nor diminishes.

What of the High and Positive Polarity for tasking—the Specification or Specifications particular to your skill set—your Gifts, and how they are applied?  When you Splinter your activities and tasks from the body of the mainstream, applying your gifts to Specific pathways and purpose, you potentiate not only your ability to serve, but your probability of fine-tuning and clarifying your Gifts.  Focusing on a tiny spectrum of skills within your skill set grows more than those skills.  It draws energy to you in a way that can happen in no other regard.

Let us say that you are a carpenter.  Your greater skill set is to make furnishings, and your particular focus is to make antique reproduction chairs.  As you turn the wood, you find yourself deviating from known patterns to experiment with new patterns, and that leads you into turning wood for totems and altar pieces, and that leads you into working with woods that you have never worked with before.  You find you are spending quite a lot of time in the forest.

Your greater skill set is still to make furnishings, particularly chairs, but now you offer a greater variety of chairs.  You have also Splintered away from furniture-making, and now offer wood pieces for meditation and reflection.  Something has opened inside you.  

Your relationship to your work and your materials has changed.  Your customer base is changing.  The feeling of your shop is changing.  You are more aware of your environment and the world at large.  

You are closer to life and the songs of the trees and woodlands, more concerned for their welfare.

Because we cannot be in all places doing all things, considering all concerns, it is quite satisfying to do at least one thing fully and with full heart.  What do you now that you could do with greater Specificity and quite likely, greater immersion and satisfaction?  How might you grow?  What wisdoms might you gain?  The Songs are all around you; they Sing to those who listen.



Blessed Be This Day
