Fast Food for the Soul
The world is full of hype isn’t it?
All around the internet you will find articles such as ’15 ways to be happy’, ’10 ways to lose weight’ or, ’3 reasons to quit smoking’. Why do all these hyped articles involve numbers? What is it about listing a small number of things that appeals to readers? I’ll tell you. Time and efficiency. Why would I read an essay if I can get 12 short statements? ‘The seven habits of effective people’ – another example. Everything must be boiled down to the bare bones and presented quickly. It’s fast food for the soul!
The problem is surely that being eternal, why would the soul want fast food? In fact, its the body and maybe the ego that wants instant gratification. The soul probably doesn’t care as it wants nothing but to exist in love. The soul most likely is in no particular hurry to learn seven effective habits. It’s already engaged in assimilating the seven planets/metals in the Great Work.
What I am trying to say is that we have a tendency to want and want it now. That is what books like The Secret play on. want something? Get it now through the cosmic ordering system! Instant gratification with no effort.
Magic, true magic, on the other hand, takes effort. It takes a lot of effort. It takes years and years of practice, meditation, patience and understanding. Yes, change your self and change your reality but it’s not instantaneous. Food for the soul is good cuisine prepared with attention to detail, with love and with care.
