DISPEL creates "Nothing": USE this space to create Happiness, not to create something to be AVOIDed or ENDUREd, as it creates greed, dull ignorance-ness, don't-like-ness... which breeds and ripens, like Blackfly or mould!

As a further explanation:

By invoking the spell of DISPEL to rid oneself of hindrances within oneself, a space is created by the nothing-left-ness of the hindrance. Within that space, Happiness can thrive if you skilfully USE something you know to have a good effect. If on the other hand you don't do this, then the space can instead get taken up perhaps by unskilful thoughts or actions which instead you should AVOID or need to ENDURE, and those sorts of things can sit and fester or multiply if unchecked, like an outbreak of pests!

The fish take time to be seen

The world falls away

Crossing from one life to the next

We walk a tightrope of inner and outer worlds

Balancing with attention - if we lose it we fall. . .

Mindfully navigating this dream that is life, stay awake!

Supported by repeated practice to develop skill

Lifted by the angels of goodwill, love and compassion

Gratefully accepting the good and enduring or dispelling the bad

All finally is perception

Until, letting go of control, the self disappears.

As the task and moment requires

Leaving behind attachment

This is a taste of freedom

Effort in making something a habit

Strength from making something a habit

Increasing skilfulness in making something a habit

Joy in making something a habit

Naturalness in making something a habit

Non-attachment in making something a habit

Tolerate the itch

The mind lets go

The pain comes

Tolerate the pain

Something relaxes

They talk too long

Tolerate the talk

The heart opens

Avoiding as knowing when not to avoid

Avoiding as looking ahead

Avoiding as responding to the moment

Avoiding as learning from experience

Avoiding as investigating

Avoiding as persisting

Avoiding as wishing well

Avoiding as freedom

And all is dispelled

For a moment!

The age of mimicry, learning, discovery, attitudes, beliefs. Understanding of consequences, right from wrong, boundaries. Putting into practise all we have learned.

ACCEPTANCE

Making choices based on past experiences. Choosing the path i.e. relationships, career, beliefs. Realise we have control over our own futures & accepting limitations. Making the most of our abilities and aspirations.

AVOIDANCE

Not straying from the path we have chosen. Staying true to oneself and not being easily led. Choosing right from wrong according to own morals. Avoiding unnecessary conflict.

OVERCOMING

A time to be contently victorious - age of wisdom! Overcoming attachment. Realisation of what is important/unimportant. Letting go of trivialities. Vanquishing self-doubt.

Dust will be left to settle

Heed the inner voice.

Paper receives words

Disorder reigns untampered

Speak after the storm.

Domestic chores to be tolerated 

Not speaking in anger to be avoided and stopped (not always successful)

Thoughts fall on the page

Dust will be left to settle

Heed the inner voice

Paper receives words

Disorder reigns untampered

Speak after the storm
