Thoughts on boredom, entropy & the Shadow

A wise old psychologist used to ask me the following list of questions as I was on the cusp of transition:

How bored are you?

Are you numb or is it apathy? 

What would happen if you just sit in it and do nothing?

What are you willing to work with?

Whats got you angry inside?

Each of these questions were a prompt that challenged rumination, an antidote for action, they were also a gauge by which he could often determine a clients next move and their readiness by which they act.

When we are bored we aren’t wanting a list of options as much as we are simply wanting to be acknowledged. 

To sit in the discomfort of numbness is to be uncomfortable until we are ready to shift into creation.

If we don’t sit in the uncomfortableness of the bored numbness we won’t ever be still enough to incubate and create. To create something out of nothing, starts in the stillness and boredom of our brain. The entropy, the decay is part of the process of rebirth.

When we allow the numbness to exist without judgement, we learn to trust the process it takes to observe entropy and the decay of what’s no longer serving us as we slowly create and breathe life into what’s next. 

To sit in the numbness we must sit in the fear until we are no longer afraid to make mistakes and fail. 

To be original we must be willing to step from the fear into being the fool, accepting our failures and still consenting to step into a path we have not previously taken. 

As we step into the fool, we step out of the numbness, from the void and into the creation of our own life.

Experience comes from being willing to reach many dead end paths. It builds on mistakes, on the unknown, out of the void, it rises as parts of who we once were transmuting into who we are becoming. Through eternal trial and error we break new ground on the craziness of the void each of us must pass through in order to come out on the other side. 

We must pass through the void of the shadow in order to bring to light the visualization of what comes next in creation.
