Play your game at best,
But
at the Great Game of Life,
Humility is necessary,
And
treachery is out of place.
Hasdrubal de Lemme
As far as negotiating one's Destiny is
concerned, there is a strange drift, based on the technique of the
‘Solar Returns’, that comes from Western Astrology.
The study of a western astrological chart
(drawn up for the exact time when the sun returns to its natal
position, in a given place of residence) is supposed to indicate
the climate of the year.
A worrying atmosphere prompts to look at what
would happen elsewhere...
The person draws several other charts up,
weighs them up, and decides to spend his/her birthday in New York.
But many things can happen in New York...
For Destiny hates looking foolish: one must
not shun responsibility, remember the tale Tonight in
Samarcande, where the hero cannot avoid his appointment with
Death, despite all his tricks.
==> Negotiating one's Destiny must remain a game.
One of my friends has a tendency to be sorry
that he so badly used the lucky periods he went through before we
met. «What a waste!» he keeps repeating, «I could
have got so much more out of them...».
At this stage, invariably, I reprimand him,
for when you want to win too much, you distort the game, and there
may be a karmic skid during the next harmful period.
The aim of the Great Game is
not to become rich, it is to live in harmony.
Napoléon divinely knew how to take
advantage of his good years. But he got caught up in a diabolical
spiral: at thirty, when he was a victorious general, he wanted
power. As a consul, he insisted on being appointed for life, then
on becoming Emperor.
While he was reigning over a sweet France
that was rising from the ruins, he set out to conquer the world.
Ruling a dumbfounded Europe, he plunged into
the Russian oblivion, dragging millions of people down with him.
Clever players have the opportunity to
prepare for the coming squall, even if they do not have the
necessary authorization level to avoid it.
Or else they have to make a choice, as we
have already seen; and, during a hectic period, to give more
importance to the spiritual than to the material field always is
an excellent choice.
It would even seem that the simple fact of
choosing takes you in a new tree diagram, where the best can
always happen (the infinity of the possible tree diagrams
alarms me, Hulysse de Lemme used to say).
