mdehnersWell it's that time again to think about metaphysical projects for the coming yr. One's already in progress since Marion's started a Voluspa discussion group on DW.
Usually, I already have an idea of a couple by now but this yr nothing's jumping out at me. Oddly enough the closest to one is a Feeling about Seeing, something that is in general the LEAST practical metaphysical abilities.
For the last 3 and a half decades, I've been pointing out that the most Glamorous(in both meanings)of Gifts can be the most dangerous. It's not physically harmful but certain mindsets can find themselves Lost. Not like body without attendant personality ala movies but find it more Interesting than Generally Perceived Reality and lose relationships and jobs, sometimes ending up one of those mumbling on the streets. Just before we left there was a member of our group that was fairly on her way to such; sending hrs trying to decipher the "Deeper Meanings" of the actions of the metaphysical equivalents of squirrels and pigeons. Very little of the Otherworld is Profound, just like Midgard but folks tend to assume that ANYTHING without a physical form is somehow "Highly Evolved"(tm, pat-pending).
But I'm retired and if I decide to spend a yr "Birdwatching", it's OK. I'm finally realizing everything doesn't HAVE to have a practical use. Heck, I even have a physical birdfeeder to watch actual birds;>....
Cheer,
Pat
