Assignment to contemplate 'spirit being' and the discontent behind losing interest in work

Frederic says he has not explored much since the last session because he was on holiday.

The Wonders press him on what he did differently for himself rather than in terms of events, and he cannot say - they note he did not observe.

They give him a suggestion to work with for the next 30 days: consider the words 'spirit' and 'being', how that relates to the relationship between himself, his mind and his ego, and what a spirit being is, promising he will be surprised at what he comes up with.

Frederic reports going to work even less because he is not interested in it and it does not seem important, and describes what feels important as not letting the mind stop him and being connected.

The Wonders say he has spent most of his life attached to the physical world with the mind as a useful tool, is now realizing life is not all centered in the mind, but keeps missing opportunities to ask deeper questions - he did begin asking them during the holiday, but subtly enough that his mind did not notice or want to remember.

His discontent, they say, arises when the mind is not entertained by what it considers the real world, while the self insists on exploring in new directions.

Following the suggestion could intrigue the mind rather than bore it, and bring him a renewed vigor he has not felt for a while.
