Also replying to a less-nested response to give a bit of the promised update, even if it is very late.
I think that the core being about my magical/spiritual practice and trying to reconcile that with the day-to-day of my job, along with the advice that it looks like a conflict, but it's not, was very helpful. It has, in fact, been a recurring source of thoughts in meditation, insights in journaling, and flashes in prayer that there is a link between my spiritual pursuits and what I'm doing at work that I'm missing/not fully embracing. I have tried to let some of my insights color how I look at the topics I teach, without pushing any particular spiritual or political views.
I'd say it's been a mixed success, but one that I am feeling better about than I did around the last week of the original reading. Then, I was definitely feeling like the work was opposed, now it feels more like there is a puzzle: how do I make doing my day job part of my spiritual development without compromising it either?
So thanks very much for this, and again, my apologies for taking so long to get back with how it went from my end.
