Virgil and the Vigil

I was visited by my personal "Virgil" in the full moon dreamtime....

Like The Hermit from classical Tarot images shown holding a lantern as if to light the next step of the path, my Virgil stood in the darkness upon a high cliff above a steamy abyss... reminiscent of my childhood imaginings of the "waters" of primordial creation before the light penetrated to manifest form as described in the biblical Genesis chapter 1.

I drew near to him and he told me it was time to sit and watch-- time to keep a steady vigil while he assisted me in deep retrospection and diagnosis of the places I waste my vital energy needlessly. (interesting word: dia + gnosis) ***

He was compassionate, and would stop the scenes if he felt I was beginning to become mired in guilt, self-loathing or embarrassment--for these indeed are themselves wastes of vital energy.

I would collect my Earth element, ready to digest more impressions, and he would again lift his sacred lantern and reanimate the scenes.
Most of the time though, I felt like laughing as I watched the places I get stuck and make the most simple tasks or interactions complicated by clinging to mechanical formulas that trap the Essence of my Being and create separation from my brothers and sisters. My whole body relaxed profoundly.

*** diagnosis:
