2nd Interval: The Art of Living Life requires an intimate relationship of our qualities within the eternal aspects of our lives.

Inlove's grace, JiMi

7 transitions: state them, make a statement for EACH individual Transition.
From that statement make a sentence
From the sentence, choose one Awareness which best describes your sentence (transition)

Transition 1:
Lack of being - Disquiet of my Soul - sense of being lost in all aspects of my life.
My inner disquiet reflected my Soul's disquiet, and I was walking lost in all aspects of my life

TRANSITION 1 - Essential Being

Transition 2:
Suffering from the lack of finding one's own self - seemed askew, off somehow
Suffering from dismissing my own matter lead me to a life of sacrifice and despair

TRANSITION 2 - INNER CHAOS

Transition 3:
Rigidity, attachment, irreverence, arrogance, where is my innermost self?
This rigidity was killing me, giving me a distrust of beauty, joy, love, of myself in the embrace of sacrifice

TRANSITION 3 - MATTER OF THE VOID

Transitions 4:
Distrusting irreverence, unease with arrogance, start anew in new vision without attachment
It was time to begin anew using my inner reverence for beauty, to reclaim the joy of beauty

TRANSITION 4 - SURRENDER

Transition 5:
Choosing life, grandmothers appear, faith in real acts of cherishment And so, I choose reverence, reverence of self, my bodies, of the Grandmothers, of all I don't know in Faith that reverence is the path to Source and Joy

TRANSITION 5 - CRYSTALLIZATION

Transition 6:
Striving for no-thing, identifying attachments of fear, innermost truth perceived- Soul sings in Community
My Soul begins to sing with the elements and all things, and in this place of nothing I glimpse perfection greet me as beauty.

TRANSITION 6 - NEW VISION

Transition 7:
Searching vs. Finding - perfection in agreement with flow of events... And now, I find myself seeking to live with the flow of life without judgment in an effort to belong in
Oneness with Community, with Source, with all life
