Indolence: Resistance to Action - Derek John Thomas

Here we are at the second video of my deep dive into the Thoth Tarot system. Last week we were looking at an environment of worry. This week, the keyword is indolence: laziness or resistance to action. I think there is a common misunderstanding to laziness and procrastination. Many people describe it as not investing the energy or not having the willpower to perform actions. I venture to posit all of the energy and willpower are there, they are just put to detrimental use.

Looking at the definition of indolence, one word pops out, resistance. Resistance is not a passive act; it is to the contrary, active. For those of us interested in living the intentional life, we know that any form of resistance is anathema to the path of intention. Resistance closes us off from having full access to the power of intention. It takes energy to resist doing what we know and/or believe would be better if done. That energy, if channeled into the action would be so much more productive, because it would also be supported by the powerful current of intention.

In this week’s video we look at indolence and some possible causes for it.
