it’s possible that someone else has had similar reflections, drawn similar conclusions. Another thought I’ve had about these transition cycles, about how they affect our relationships and moods – switching from spiritual to material and back again – is that everyone seems to have a different standing, a different position, in both the spiritual and material worlds. And that’s very interesting. Because if a spiritual cycle begins, and you are not well-developed within it – if you have many internal conflicts, many misunderstandings within yourself – then you will always feel uncomfortable in a spiritual cycle. You won’t like it, because your mind constantly forces you to live only in the material world. You always gravitate toward material people, you prefer everything from the material world, from the world of earth. And when a spiritual cycle begins, you can feel it, but even if you fully enter it for three or four months, you might still resist it the entire time – causing constant stress during that period. Because your spiritual side, your heart, wants you to spend more time alone at home or with people who also have a heart. But instead, you resist it. Even when your body and nature are calling for one thing, you force yourself to go into crowds, push yourself to stay in an active rhythm, and then wonder why you feel exhausted, why you start getting sick. And sometimes, a person might actually fall ill and end up in bed with a fever for two weeks – just because their natural rhythm was supposed to shift into rest and retreat from the social-material world, but they kept pushing against it. They feel the shift, but they resist it because they don’t understand what they’re feeling. And then, nature itself intervenes – imagine walking against the current, and the current starts dragging you, breaking you, grinding you down. Some people, when transitioning from one cycle to another – whether from spiritual to material or vice versa – don’t sense it, don’t recognize it, and resist it. And because of that, they end up being broken down, whether by the material rhythm or the spiritual one. I’ve seen this happen to people. I try to never resist – it’s too painful and pointless. But there are those who don’t even realize what’s happening. They are so dense – usually people who are deeply attached to the world of earth – that even when their material cycle ends, for three months, they refuse to acknowledge it. If they sense something shifting, they dismiss it, thinking it’s just a hormonal imbalance or a mood swing. They ignore it completely and continue living mechanically, clinging artificially to their old material preferences.
