what is the work?

the purpose is clear...but what is the work...if your purpose is to be a carpenter, is your work to build whatever? to fix things? to make cabinets? to build houses?

what is it? if you are a musician, do you just whip out your guitar and play? do you get a job as a musician? do you try and join a band?

hmmm...what is the work? i guess this quesiton becomes fortified with doubt when pupose is lost, when it is not part of the equation...as a friend of mine on the Path once told, medicine man is your purpose but that''s not the deeper purpose. the deeper Purpose is One-ness (ALLAH), is to be in a state of Surrender, of letting go, of releasing...of being so humble that, of being so aligned that, stars and orbits...

the Purpose for all of us is the same, and manifested uniquely, just as all rivers lead back to the ocean...

the Purpose is to die before you die (the prophet muhammad)...the musician, robert ester marley, played music, wrote music, lyrics, played guitar, bass, and spoke out against injustice, spoke for love, for unity...of course...these are part of the math of Spirit...

speak out, make medicine, join other healers, your music is to spread Love through medicine, spread community, village, ancient mathematics through medicine...it is not, has never been to be a solution to people's problems, never has been a quick fix, never has been a cult of personality, never has been competition, never has been deceit and duping, and consumerism, and product, and ancient himalayan herbs robbed from the sacred mountain...it has been to spread Love, to build community, to be of service...to be a medicine man...

...i am not here to prove to you that i am better than...that i have the answer to it all, that i am the One...if you are seeking glory, know that Glory belongs to ALLAH alone - The Recitation (al Qur'an)

nusrat fateh ali khan sang...he traveled with 20-30 other musicians, some who clapped their hands as their instrument, and they performed. he sang his lungs out. he was only 49 when he passed away...wow...i thought he was much older...his songs were in Surrender, in complete devotion to One...

the artist next to me, at the cafe here is painting in his sketchbook. i ask him if he's working on a comic series. he says no, he's just doing it. but i work as a cartoonist, he says. it's not easy. i also teach in an afterschool program as a teaching artist. so his path is clear - illustration. he draws on his own time, paints, sketches. for work, he does cartooning in a studio and he also teaches...

so...what is the work of the ancient-mathematics medicine man? to make medicine, to work with herbs, to treat the sick, to heal, to support the healing process, to work with the sick, to keep the healthy healthy, to be a medium for healing, to support and partake in ego-death...

in practical terms - he does yoga as therapy for healing, for increasing compassion for Self, he makes medicine, he sells his medicine, he does workshop on medicine making, he teaches holistic health - nutrition, yoga therapy, ayurveda, herbalism...he sees clients, and does group healing circles...detox reset elevate.....

like nusrat, hamza el din, robert marley...i am making medicine, writing formulas, designing sequences...all for healing...all to heal...all to support healing...all in Surrender to ONE...
