The Negative Confession
I just posted the entire 42 statement negative confession in the Introduction to Heka part one. Many of them are common sense, but I wanted to post some note-worthy ones here to see what you all thought of them and how they may apply to modern times. A person aligned with all 42 is said to have lived 'in rhythm with the universe'. 11- I have not closed my ears to truth 13- I have not made anyone cry 14- I have not felt sorrow without reason 18- I have not been an eavesdropper 20- I have not been angry without reason 28- I have not caused disruption of peace 29- I have not acted hastily or without thought 30- I have not overstepped my boundaries of concern 31- I have not exaggerated my words when speaking 35- I have not spoken angrily or arrogantly 37- I have not placed myself on a pedestal All of these deserve some comment probably. :) But number 30 really has me thinking; maybe that is what we would call a "busy-body" today or maybe just not concerning yourself with things you cannot control? Does anyone have one or two that stand out to them?

"I have not felt sorrow without reason" 🤔

@Trent Green Maybe context is lost in translation. Maybe it's part of living intentionally with awareness, instead of unconsciously. If it's about being in rhythm with the universe, maybe "sorrow without reason" could be attachment to what I wish the universe was, instead of accepting it as it is.
Pulse Check
The way to advance in this classroom is by engagement (i.e. posting comments and liking other comments). Leveling up will open up more curriculum. In order to promote engagement here, I want to ask the following question: In Heka, we are always balancing between Ma’at (Order) and Isfet (Chaos). Looking at your week so far, which one is winning?

Sometimes it feels like I'm just on a nicely-ordered raft, floating on a sea of chaos. Do I struggle to get my raft pointed where I want, or do I find out where the sea will take me? Either way I'll probably get wet eventually.
