4/22/2008 - Second Meditation - G2

GONG #2

After thinking about the meditation, it is putting me into a conversation with the Universe/Cosmos/Creator/God.

I attempt the meditation at the same time of day as yesterday and ask again which path to take and that I need help to know where I am in life. This time I addressed the question to The Universe. I finished the meditation and then picked up a book I had been reading. I soon came across read this paraphrased:

Humans always choose the known over the unknown even if it meant certain death.

– 3 Million Days of Earth by D. Pisercia

This hit me hard almost as my heart was struck as a gong. The feeling was similar to when I had seen the star on the chair in church and Sidney had his breathing issues. I did not know why it seemed so pertinent and important. I had a meeting scheduled shortly after reading this passage with my new boss. We were to discuss the direction of the new department into which I was recently "moved." I scheduled this meeting to get answers from my new boss so that I understood the direction the department was going and how I could help build it up. He told me that they were making everyone reapply for their jobs and that all of us were to interview and hopefully be offered the new jobs. I was quite concerned about this as I was told that I was going to be a Project Manager working on implementations of new systems, but now it seemed that the direction of this department was changing. I asked him what would happen if I applied for the jobs, was interviewed and for whatever reason was not offered one of them. He said that they would have to let me go.

To me this was a sign that I must choose between the known and the unknown or that the known had now become the unknown. I was not sure exactly what was in store for me, but it was obvious that this was a much stronger response to my calls for help in the meditation.
That night, my wife and I discussed the urgent need to start looking for another job ASAP!
