After making my daily offerings today and while enjoying the sunlight, I started thinking about the recent Helios rite and the subsequent two-week planetary challenge and how the results from them are manifesting.

More specifically, I was thinking about how some of the goals I had for the Helios rite were connected to each other, even though I didn’t realize it at the time.

Some of them are more obviously connected than others, but most of them rely on the development of the same skills and the application of them in what looks like totally different ways, but is essentially the same way underneath; it just looks different.

I can honestly say I wouldn’t have realized the same skills are needed and I wouldn’t have any idea how to acquire these skills if I hadn’t added a few seemingly unrelated goals into the mix right before the Helios rite. I was actually wondering why results concerning these seemingly unrelated goals started manifesting minutes after the rite, worrying that maybe the biggest goals were too improbable, so maybe all the juice was going towards the more achievable but less important goals. Looking at it now, this doesn’t seem to be the case.

I guess sometimes you know something is missing but you have no idea what it is, and you wouldn’t recognize it even if it was staring you in the face. It may be easier to recognize it’s missing though from other situations and start working towards it. And then you see how it works and you realize this was the secret ingredient that you were missing all along.

It makes me wonder if this was always the case with my goals and I just hadn’t noticed before. If the same pattern of interconnection applied to other sets of goals I had in the past and I just failed to notice it. Maybe I just needed a little more light from the Sun so that I could clearly see what was already in front of me all this time.

Coincidentally (if there even is such a thing), I somehow came across and re-read Gordon White’s post The Dangers of Results-Based Magic, which would have made me think of exactly the same things even if I hadn’t started thinking about them already.

A little mind-boggling, isn’t it?
