Needless
"every need has an ego to feed", Bob Marley

Hello, good people. I'm gonna be a bit low energy today, <laugh>. I'm just getting vertical after three days on my back with a nasty head cold. So I'll keep this short and sweet. So, we're in a season of change. And, to the question of astrology [which I referenced last week], I remembered that I have an acquaintance-friend, who's an astrologer. Her name is Hillary Harley and you can find her at hillaryharley.com. [here's a link to a podcast I did with her].

Last week I was talking about change and how difficult this fall has been. And I recalled that I did listen to Hilary's podcast about November. She does, a podcast – a forcast for the month ahead. And yeah, November was all about death, <laugh>. So death, we have to remember, in the esoteric or metaphysical world, is not necessarily physical death, although it can include that. But it's really about letting things fall away, letting things come to a conclusion.

And as for death, it's not as if we have a choice! So where can we be okay with death and the conclusion of things? And I've definitely been dealing with a lot of conclusions in <laugh> 2023. Let's just say, I will not be sad to see 2023 conclude! I am already, we haven't even reached December yet, and I'm already like, let's go December! I'm so ready for January to bring a conclusion to 2023.

For this week, I wanted to touch on something very briefly. I had a couple days, maybe week, or a week and a half ago, it was just a beautiful spell that I felt like I was under. And if I were to put a title on it, I'd say the title of this was I felt Needless. Needless – it was a blissful feeling! I needed absolutely nothing. I didn't need a call, I didn't need reassurance, I didn't need support, I didn't need food. I didn't need comfort. I felt completely needless. And it was amazing.

I'm a pretty self-sufficient person, to begin with, but this feeling was just incredible. And of course, it came to a conclusion, <laugh>. And then as soon as I reentered the world of need, it was like reentering a world of pain. And then I happened to listen to, a Bob Marley song. One of the lyrics is "Every need has got an ego to feed." Now, I've been probably reciting this lyric for 30 plus years, and it never really resonated until now. So I'll leave you with that. Every need has got an ego to feed.

So where can we be needless? Where can we allow and where can we let go? Where can we let things conclude without fighting and striving? Fall, with the beautiful colorful leaves that are dropping off the trees, that will most assuredly come back in the spring. Where can we let things fall away? Seems, seems a perfect message for the fall heading into winter. And with that, I'm gonna go probably lie down again, <laugh>, keep nursing this cold. Hope you have a great week. Ciao for now.
