The Human Atmosphere has its currents, but your Stillpoint has its own direction. This prompt helps you explore the difference between the two—and the freedom that comes from choosing your own path. You can read a post on this topic here.
Notice a place where your inner compass points one way and the atmosphere points another
Think of a situation where:
- you felt pulled toward something that wasn’t popular
- you sensed a direction that didn’t match the cultural momentum
- you wanted to act in a way that didn’t align with the “normal distribution” around you
Write about the tension between these two directions.
What did each one feel like in your body?
Explore the Stillpoint beneath your preference
Ask yourself:
- Why does this direction matter to me?
- What value, truth, or longing sits at the center of it?
- How does this choice connect to who I am becoming?
Let the answer emerge slowly.
You’re listening for the geometry of your own Sparksphere.
Reflect on the “open tails” of possibility
Even when the atmosphere favors the center, the edges are never closed.
Consider:
- What possibilities exist at the margins of this situation?
- What paths remain open even if they are narrow or unconventional?
- What small step could honor your Stillpoint without needing the HA’s approval?
You’re mapping the space where individuation lives.
Connect with Jung’s idea of becoming yourself
Write about how this moment relates to your own individuation:
- What part of you is trying to emerge?
- What inner truth is asking to be lived?
- How might following this path deepen your sense of wholeness?
Let this be a conversation with your future self.
Close with a sentence that affirms your direction
Something like:
- “My path may be narrow, but it is mine.”
- “I trust the Stillpoint more than the current.”
- “The atmosphere influences me, but it does not define me.”
- “I am becoming who I already am.”
Choose a sentence that feels like a compass you can carry.
