Question: What about restarting my work, and shall I set up a website to promote it?
Answer: This is two questions, obviously, but one symbol in the mind. In the past, the motivation behind your work has been the satisfaction of the body’s wants, the feeling of being helpful, the company of others who appreciate you – in short, the primary purpose has been to make YOU feel good about YOU. Now, after a break, you are wondering whether to restart that work, and this question is driven by the nostalgia for the good times, good feelings remembered. You were good at the work, but it is not the feeling that the work needs to be done for its own sake that is your motivation for asking this question now. You just want more of a role, and the satisfactions that would come from having that. You have told me that you are working on a spiritual path, and therefore it is the Higher Self/Soul and not the personality which is to be favoured. The oracle is clearly saying that for the immediate future you are to work, yes, but you are to work alone, and yes, also that the setting up of a website is encouraged. The story suggested is that you are being asked to do the work for its own sake – look up Karma Yoga – rather than to gain satisfaction through direct contact with others, or by gaining others’ appreciation. Apart from doing this work in solitude, you are to accept no limitation on the work: it is to be an outlet for the creative impulse, for the Soul, and not to be subverted for the delight of the personality.
