When clear assertive purpose applies itself to an open field of potential, then something else is brought into being. Existence is not sterile; it is brimming with a polarised life-force that cannot fail to create new life. Man, woman, child is a pattern that repeats universally - as artist, materials, artwork for example, or ideal, limitation, inventiveness. Rudhyar: A PREGNANT WOMAN IN LIGHT SUMMER DRESS. Fecundity: INNER FULFILLMENT. |

Vitality does not find its exaltation in petty things
A modest woman, with her own burdens, is somewhat disinclined to open up. We consider here the basic importance of anchoring ourselves inwardly. In order to attend to our own issues we must somehow cut ourselves off and establish a wall against intrusion. This can be done elegantly and without giving offence by veiling ourselves, and being cautious about opening up to new things. Each of us can, when optimum resourcefulness is at hand, reach up to a state of personal brilliance. There are various elements that need to be in correct relationship for this to occur, and we have to give them our fullest attention. Our sense of self needs to centre on these elements, and not so much on externals. We must not engage too much in trivia if we are to remain true; since the hidden truth is that actually we each have the capacity for genius. Becoming bogged down in pettifogging niceties will certainly erode this capacity. It is best to avoid situations where there is pressure to conform to low standards of interaction. It behoves us to defend ourselves against the insidious vampirism of those people who drag us down to their level of mediocrity. If we lack true involvement then external events are mostly transient distractions, since any experience of enduring value is established only to the extent that we take personal responsibility for its outcome. It is easier to say no than goodbye, so it is usually better to resist new involvement than abruptly curtail what has already begun. We can afford to understate our aims while we establish the worth of engagement – in fact, our very vitality and personal integrity will often depend upon such an approach. We do not want to disappoint another; it could lead to resentment and perhaps attack. Such an attitude – where we concern ourselves deeply with what is our business, and shy away from what is not – leads towards an unimpeachable integrity of character. It also promotes a great fullness of life, not only for us, but also as a significant and proper contribution to the community. This is because we successfully engage with what we are doing, with not much wastage of effort. We may need honestly to identify any disinclination to engage with the community at large on fair terms – and to check that we are not taking more than we are giving. Eventually this would bring distress. It becomes clear that most interactions are inconsequential, that the superficial variances between people are unimportant and that, if we are not careful, we can easily waste too much time and energy dealing with things of no ultimate worth. A certain reticence to become involved with such trivial matters may therefore be particularly helpful whenever we have heavy loads to carry. |
