Rainy Days
Rainy Day in the UK, 24 April 2023.
Droplets from the sky causing ripples to form on an otherwise still surface and blurring the bars beyond..
Perhaps our low vibrational thoughts and the emotions they engender can be seen in a similar way in that they create ripples in our four personality vehicles, keeping us distracted which forms, strengthens and obscures the bars, the prison walls of our consciousness, so that we barely perceive that consciousness is imprisoned.

Rainy Days……..
The retrograde movement should begin in one’s thinking. Your thoughts, your intellectual brain-consciousness, must be purified and brought into equilibrium with the fundamental idea. Everything confusing, everything impure, everything critical, everything earthly in your thinking must disappear from the mental, functional organ in your head sanctuary. On the basis of such purified thinking, the retrograde movement can then begin.
If you think in a pure way, as indeed you are called to do, your astral body will be ignited in a way that is in keeping with your mentality. The astral body reacts in a fraction of a second to every one of your thoughts. Like a flash of lightning, every thought gives rise to a mighty, measureless fire in your astral body. Via the astral body, the etheric body is then brought into a condition which corresponds with the astral body's state. Ethers are liberated and penetrate your entire physical organism, affecting all its organs and all its fluids, up to and including the blood. And when the blood is thus laden with the results of your flash of thought, it flows back through all the brain-cells and brings what you yourself have unleashed back into the intellectual brain consciousness again.
Are you aware of this retrograde movement? Thinking, astral body, etheric body, physical body, blood, and then back again, via the blood, to the head sanctuary. This is the course along which the retrograde movement circulates. And if your thoughts are directed entirely towards the earth, the result can be a prison wall, an impenetrable dungeon.

Perhaps there is an inner process that can help to keep the keep the rain off, and which can shelter us from the slings and arrows of the worldly.
And maybe there is something outside of us that can give a helping hand in proportion to that inner effort.
Leading, in the end, to a jailbreak for the consciousness.
