Making Hermetics integral to life

["Daniel Gutmanas" <noxerus@...>]

Hello everybody, and a happy new year to you all!

I have recently noticed that Hermetic practice is under the 
label 'something I do' to me - like painting, programming, writing, 
studying mathematics, etc. This is not to say that I place a lesser 
emphasis on it than on anything else (on the contrary), or that I do 
not practice diligently day by day. Instead, I'm trying to say that 
it tends to fade in and out of focus, and is subject to all of the 
other inherent fluctuations of interest and effort like the 
aforementioned fields of interest.
Despite it being a daily thing, just like sleeping or feeding 
myself, I do not regard it with the same attitude. I don't have 
fluctuations in my eating or sleeping habits - for the thousands of 
days since my birth, I never got 'less or more interested with 
eating', I just ate everyday what I need.
This is exactly the attitude which I wish to have towards Hermetic 
practice; it being an integral part of my life, perhaps even to the 
degree of being necessary to my sustained life, and not being 
subject to various fluctuations of interest and desire.

So, to my question itself. Can anyone make any suggestions as to 
how, in the most effective way, can I transform Hermetics 
from 'something I do' into an essential and intrinsic part of my 
life?

Thanks,
Daniel
