The Seven Synergies

Today was a strange day. The Guardian Climate Conference was on in London and I had tickets not far from the stage, plus a train fare. I never got there, for overcomplicated reasons. Coming home after fruitless travelling to find my falcon (who hadn't wanted to go back in his flight (aviary) outside after flying today) waiting on the ledge instead of roosting up - dusk was becoming twilight and he should have been in bed. Some time with him on the lounge door (a favourite place) left him happy to go to his indoor chamber before I brought the tawny owl out from his flight at the back of the house.
Wol is now sitting with me.
This morning I met a friend for lunch, and we talked about the spiritual essence of work, planning a course of action to account for it. As we share coaching qualifications the slant stays parallel quite easily and we find much ground potentially to gain from collaboration. One of the things we discussed was what we do at the start of the day.
In this respect, we found significant differences.
We do know that Alpha and Theta waves are active at the slipstream between sleep and wakefulness, and that what we gravitate to at that time sets us up for the day ahead. So I pondered on this aspect for much of the strange time to follow, and at the kitchen table later wrote my thoughts.
Appreciation - what we must do to align with the best aspects of our reality.
Affirmation - what we must do to align with our own intentions.
ApPRECIation - the object thereof
Birds & Dogs (unashamedly the first things that come to mind)
Diplomas
Contacts
Private Transport
Body
Family (shame on me for not thinking of them sooner!)
Home
AfFIRMation - commitment to intent
I train, entertain and reward them, and look after their welfare.
I utilise my credentials
I optimise my relationships
I drive carefully and considerately
I exercise and eat necessarily
I love and consider my family
I look after my home
As a thought experiment, it was useful and showed how much my day influenced the order of my choices. As a template, it looks like a valuable addition to the spiritual toolkit, and whatever anyone believes in, if they believe in something higher than the power of themselves there's room for exploration of our lesser-known capacities.
That there were 7 in the end resonated as a number associated with magical apparition, and what my friend said about our thoughts not being real paradoxically sits with their capacity to be realised, so it seemed to me that if the 9 of Completion were to sit anywhere here, it would add a pair of personal details twittering and fluttering together on the upper branches, the mass hierarchy problem overruling all else in this respect.
(Pssst.... I'd look that one up, if I were you. I just did, and it blew my mind.)
When written on the back of an envelope, the word Will introduced all seven (after I) and I had to delete them here just now to make each statement an affirmation! Everywhere, all the time, improvement calls for brief attention. Your Seven Synergies may be key to the abundance we already have - if only we could commit to it.
We have one life, yet therein at least two, if not such an infinite variable of possible reality consequences that you'd have to ask Griffin which one you could be on, for any minute that could change, and all else be in vain, or won, or lost - but never forever.
