Today is the first day of Passover in the Christian tradition, full moon and the Hebrew’s departure from Egypt in their narrative. This full - with eclipse today - moon is the first to follow the Vernal Equinox transit and the one that is the marker for Easter on the following Sunday. This because Good Friday and the resurrection Sunday had to be on those days of the week. They could not move around the weekdays, the way Christmas day does.

It also shows that these festivities were regulated by the moon calendar and not the sun’s. The sun calendar was used in the agricultural societies - Egypt, while the moon calendar guided the herdsmen, because the animals go with the cadence of the moon, as did the hunters of days gone by.

For this evening I have a dinner invitation from Juliet. We will meet up at about three (3) pm, since she wanted me to look at her new computer. She is loosing typed files under the new OS-Widows8 and we have much to chat, since she was over in Pakistan this passed winter.

Last night I posted about six delayed entries on my web site. The most delayed was from March 31, the day we drove to Standard to commemorate our late friend Sharen, who I still miss after our ten years of coffee visits

Yesterday aft I picked up the annual tax forms and will have to do my yearly due diligence in this regard. I always do my own, because I find that the tax people in Winnipeg make corrections in my favour if and when that is valid. I don’t use the internet to file, which turned out to be a good decision an account of the recent ‘Heart-bleed’ security gap in the Open source encryption software.

Apparently it was due to a common oversight in the C-language type programme that was used. And I bought my standard Lindt chocolate plaques, while in the store, always waiting for the sale price to come around.

During my morning coffee and breakfast contemplation I had an interesting insight. Actually as I was getting up, I already had the first indication of it, in that the idea of ‘Eigen Weg’ - Own Way - surfaced again. I say again, because it is an insight that I first had during the end of June 1999 in Krimpen at the Yssel, in the Netherlands.

At that time I was faced with the question of how to proceed since my friends were returning from France to their home in which Tom and I were staying during June. As I did my regular walk there and crossed the little wooden bridge the insight ‘Go your own way’ came to me and that is what I did, for the rest of that year.

So, ‘Eigen Weg’ surfaced again this morning and as I sat having my coffee I connected that thought with my earliest ever recollection of ‘descending to this dark place’. Why did I have to go down so deep?

That was the sense that I remember and now I was tying this into ‘Eigen Weg’ as a path that I followed in my life. Some of those were: my kindergarten experience of not fitting with the school’s teachers, my Junior high experiences, emigration, university studies and the rest.

Nobody is doing what you are doing!

And last, but not least my present engagement with my search across religions to find a common ground. ‘Nobody is doing what you are doing’, said Herman to me several years ago and he does know.

Framing this belief framework of tolerance that I am now formulating, is the outcome of that journey along this ‘own way’ right from the very beginning at birth. This morning I realised that this is my way of doing things and that this chosen by me to be that way as I entered into this earthbound life of the human experience.

I am engaged - with others - in making conscious the way we humans experience our existence and are bringing this into expression as our own conscious awareness, discovering our destiny.

Our experience as humans in our realm within Existence Divine, is our contribution to the overall conscious experience within this existence in all its aspects. That is the way, which has to become clear and conscious as our human way forward, with reference to our human inherited biological and cultural past.

So, this morning I confirmed for myself that this is my own life’s reason for being, but also that many others are walking their path. Paths towards this goal of becoming conscious of our own human destiny, giving it direction in consciousness and responsibility, informed by our human traditions.
