More Employment Insights

The conversation with Ereshkigal about my job has been very much on my mind, prompting the submission of several applications for new positions at my current place of employment as well as stepping up the urgency of getting my vocational work (spiritual direction, teaching, tarot reading) out there on the market.

I did have a couple of additional insights, however. The most important was that relenquishing my current position to Ereshkigal -- a job I have never particularly liked -- is not the same as relenquishing being employed, and that it's often the case that you have to let go of one thing before you can pick up something else. Also: letting go of my current job, instead of clinging to it with a death grip for the security, opens up a channel for energy to move toward change.


Note to self: still need to have a chat with the spirit of my company and see if that's a relationship I want to pursue. Another insight from teriel and dragonscholar was that you can sometimes promote change in the workplace with the assistance of the company's egregore. I've been a very good employee (despite my discontent), winning several performance awards. Even so, I could make a much more significant contribution elsewhere. Perhaps the company spirit would be interested in helping me move into a more productive job?

Good. The company spirit might indeed be interested in helping you move to a position where you can be of greater benefit to the company, and not incidentally where you will be happier. Give it a shot!
