This blog is about the spirals of life, that occur within each of our experiences of living our
lives. These observations of mine are born out of over forty years of living and examining not
only my own life, but also the many others that I encountered in both a counselling role, and
also managing and living in several therapeutic homes that were primarily for drug and alcohol
addictions. What I began to discover was that there seems to be three main spirals that affect our
lives, and that within these three spirals were several minor variations, that impacted upon us in greater or lesser degrees.
The first spiral was the most intense, and one that I encountered many times while working with
drug and alcohol dependents, this spiral seemed to taper downwards, and would be literally
sucking the vital energy out of its host.This spiral was loaded with fear and extreme anxiety
and also had the awful effect of speeding up the thought processes, at times to the point of
extreme agitation and mental and emotional breakdowns, their thought processing was like
that of "shooting the rapids" uncontrollable thinking. If this particular spiral is left unchecked
then the results are most dire, you will either die, go insane, or need hospital treatment for
several months.
The second spiral seems to circulate in a horizontal orbit around its particular host, sometimes
called a edifying vortex, this spiral is about replication, going round and around endlessly and
getting no where fast. Doing the same thing daily, and sometimes expecting different results,
this is sometimes called the definition of insanity! While we are caught in this backwater,
literally going round in endless circles, our actual lives are "on hold" we are not growing, we
are not learning anything new,the ebb and flow of this second spiral can actually turn into the
first spiral if the rotation of the spiral gets more intense, and we fail to see what is happening to us,
if we have some insight, and can ask for help and support from say a good friend or relative, we can
then slow down the flow of this motion that circles us, and just like stepping out of a hoop, we can
re-emerge ourselves back into the healthy flow of life.
We now come into the final spiral of life and living experience, this spiral opens up vertically and
as it does it literally pulls in vital force, which is vital energy, this spiral is ever expansive and opens
us up to the living experience of becoming self aware of who we really are, and expands our levels
of consciousness and perceptions.
To be continued tomorrow. Warmest regards Michael.
