Chapter 4- Mathematics: Contraindicated

Activities Contraindicated:

• The wearing of murky colors
• The wearing of worn clothes
• Gambling - and games of chance
• Tarot readings - and other prophesying mediums (runes, coins etc.)
• The reading of depressing fiction (with injustice unresolved)
• The keeping of irregular hours - night-shifts, social outings etc.

The wearing of murky colors does appear to have a total effect upon the consciousness concerning that naked person beneath the clothes. There are those colors which are clear, of ‘perfect pitch’ as it were; then there are those shades which are related; and further to that there are the muddied variety which ‘drone their tone’ instead of resonate their worth.

It is possible to experience colors in a variety of ways. Most folk do so unconsciously and the range that confronts us daily is interpreted as one large intricate picture, rather than seen and accounted for piece by piece. Yet the colors we adorn ourselves with, walk with and talk out from, not only feed our eyes continually but radiate a certain frequency in a particular way - depending upon what color and what grade of clearness it represents.

Ideally the mathematically incompetent should experience the entire rainbow on differing days - from pastels to brights - rejoicing in their clarity and brilliance. Colors of themselves hold much wisdom, relating firstly to the etheric world in which they incarnate most naturally and characteristically. 

 

Of equal importance to this is the dismissal of those old worn and favorite garments, which are so imbued with time that the odour has permeated the fabric. The burning of these pieces can be done with the optimism of starting afresh - whilst the tendencies to cleave into the habits and thoughts surrounding these clothes may also, with flourish, be commanded to depart.

It is true that there can be a comfort and a strength in an article of clothing worn - coats are wonderful in this, that our very identity becomes enhanced when we are cloaked in our favorite concealment. But one can notice with many of the mathematically deficient that there becomes a tendency not only to wear a favorite from time to time, but there are many shabby such favorites that seem to promote a relaxed weariness about their person as well. The coat may bring an aura of comfort or protection, of properness, of readiness, of strength etc. rather than that of the woolly jumper with the holes and threads dangling which moreover promotes the unkempt aspects about the soul’s condition.

The addiction to games of chance in this instance happens to be organic - being a symptom to the condition outlined. It occurs because of the compensatory need to correct the thinking, maintain the reasoning, and perceive what fits, what works etc. 

 

To feed such obsessiveness is debilitating to the self because although it can indeed be experienced that numbers and gaming all work to laws we may sense and may seemingly control or predict, the fulfillment is less than minimal and therefore creates yet more of the problem: namely the desire to comprehend the accuracy in life, rather than its apparent random nature.

Depressing fiction has been added to this list and alongside it we could put all dramas (film, theatre, even real-life acquaintances) which promote the concepts of injustice rather than the peaceful or positive aspects about any given matter. Once again there can be a frame to our thinking which represents this ‘randomness’ - a no sense nonsense, that unfairly (and rather badly) will cause but a constant threat to our insecure being should we go on to fixate about the upset at hand. If we indulge in murderous or dark thoughts, exaggerated by fiction (or even fictitious and paranoid obsessive concepts) then it happens that our tolerance becomes so weakened that the entire world begins to scare us witless.

Once again the problems may well be organic - to the point of being a physical illness or deficiency which is screaming at us to be heard and manifested in our knowing that things are not ‘right’ and as they should be somewhere within the bodily function.

Phobias and depressions are understandable in the context of the individual who has lost confidence in the existence of the higher laws around him. When he is unclear about the aptitude of life and of himself, when he no longer takes in the beauty and the truth made visible and it all appears to him with sameness - then depression and upset is quite a reasonable suffering to result.

The keeping of irregular hours appeals to the chaos rather than the order that is so sorely yearned for here within the individual. We may go on in defiance of our internal rhythms - eat and sleep at all hours, soak in the moonlight, hide from the sunlight - but the fallout from this erratic reckoning is that from this we can actually revert to the system of an infant rather than that of a grown adult.

What is meant here is that with a very small child there is within the makeover the provision for multiple feeds throughout a twenty-four hour period. The sleeping and the waking is dispersed in smaller episodes and the physiology is appropriately incorporating whatever routine at that time is being worked out. Here we are beginning at the earliest of efforts within our physical bodies to sense the correlation and correspondence of routines which are hopefully synchronized about us, coming from outside of us to answer a need within.

Not all babies have had the experience of there being a comfortable time period between need and answer, (depending too on the child’s own nature and tolerance etc.) - and not all adults are going to react similarly as a result of such experiences, because it can be that an adult in angst has had their infancy in ease, but fell out later with the timing in their life. 

However, what is known is that the very simplistic and episodic way of living is reintroduced to an individual when he gives over the daylight hours to irregular time periods of sleeping, eating, bathing, waking and so forth. These will cause a reversion back into a metabolism and an attitude which is endeavoring to adapt but at the same time quite ‘helpless’ to circumstance. He shall predispose himself to that baby-like dependency also in his attitude and lack of capability of doing for himself, disciplined as he should be.

The almost instant correction to this (and it can be perceived in a responsibility to follow an attitude of health and diet etc.) is to follow the farmer’s detail (or close to it) and live well in the day, and rest in the night. It truly is a wonderful restorative.
