Never - the cursed word
I stood there, looking at a wall, a wall I was to Clean, sand and paint.
The last time I was painting, it broke me before lifting a brush.
“F!ck painting! It’s not physical, and it’s not mentally stimulating, it’s just boring. I’m never doing painting again” Me in Feb 2023
And here I was, July 2025, in Mangamuka, a town in the far north of NZ pretty much in the middle off nowhere, about to do a painting job.
2 days later, I’m stood there, looking at a clean kitchen, with a freshly painted ceiling, about to paint the walls, doing a job I said I’d never do, but now contemplating another thing I said I’d “never do”…… move back to Australia.
There has got to be a curse behind this word Never.
Said I’d never go back to a warehouse job, ended up going back to a warehouse, said I’d never paint, end up painting, said I’d never move back to Aussie, and here I am, planning the next move to Aussie.
So I did what most people these days do, I confided in my new besty, I went to ChatGPT.
“Is the word Never a curse?”
‘According to the hermetic teachings, every absolute contains its opposite, and declaring NEVER can draw in the energy you’re trying to avoid’
‘The stronger you declare against something, the more energy you unconsciously feed into it. This is why many esoteric teachers say, “What you resist persists.”’
Even Napolean once (Apparently famously) said he would ‘never’ return to power after his first exile… but he did.
Later that night I went outside, looking up at the sky, trying to break any previously said ‘Never Spells’
“I take back anything I said never to!!!”
Anyways 2 points to all of this:
- Never say Never otherwise you’re cursing yourself to repeat that lesson, and perhaps there is something karmic about it all, or it’s lifes way of saying “oh yeah?”
