In my own life, I found that I was losing too much energy out onto the external internet to do effective internal work.

So I took down my website and all my profiles and began contracting my internet use.

At first I felt something akin to death. I felt dead to the world without my internet presence.

I was in the underworld.

It was like an encounter with evil, a meeting with extinction.

But what a wonderful release it was!

I felt like I was letting go of so much I had been holding onto, like a big sigh.

It was a sigh of relief.

It was my own way of reversing the flow, turning clockwise into counter- clockwise.
