Clarity through Design
We are organizing our next “Clarity through Design” event on April 4th at 17:00h Ibiza time. If you are interested in my reflections on your Bodygraph, please fill in our participation form and join us in this revelatory experiment! Only 8 spots available for active participants.
Reflection of the week: The Channel of Mutation: ‘A Design of Energy that Fluctuates and Initiates.’
Let’s start with gate 60, the gate of limitation:
In the energetic outlet of gate 60 in the Root Centre, we find the pulsing pressure to mutate. It manifests as power bursts rather than sustained flows because knowing, is ‘there’ and then ‘it is not.’ It is in the ‘space’ between the notes where mutation takes place. Acceptance of limitation is the heart of the mutative process. If not, there is a possibility that this energy manifests as a form of chronic depression such as the neutrino weather of this week highlights!
It is interesting to note that acceptance is what it is and doesn’t involve some sort of process-based development. One either does or doesn’t accept. Gratitude, which I find an incredible force, opens the doors to acceptance of what is.
The hexagram’s drawing - The Abysmal over Lake – illustrates a deep ‘saying yes’ to the challenges and stimulations of life and represents acceptance as the first step in transcendence.
When we approach this coding mentally, we create a ‘pressure form’ that reflects a struggle against perceived constraints, leading to a sense of restrictedness. In its pursuit of freedom, the mind resists acknowledging certain limitations that are fundamental to our experience.
The mind never thinks it has any limitations while limitations are indispensable and intrinsic to life. This can bring about a melancholic frequency of wanting to get out of something but feeling one is stuck and has nowhere to go or, on the contrary, not wanting to get out of something by not being willing to acknowledge the limitation of it.
The binary of the mind thus ranges between wanting to get rid of limitations and holding onto limitations at all costs.
Our individual life spark, though, is unique. In that sense, it is our limitation. Therefore, this mental positioning doesn’t allow a proper grounding of who we are. And if we can’t ground ourselves in our uniqueness, the doors to a deeper connection with the vast, interconnected fabric of life don’t open.
When we learn to witness the mind’s stance regarding the acceptance of limitation, the importance of harmonic energy comes into play. Harmony between acceptance and challenge.
This tuning allows for a synchronization of challenge and acceptance, creating a synthesis that fosters growth, creativity and transcendence.
Acceptance is not a passive surrender but an active process of embracing limitations while maintaining a commitment to overcome inefficiencies. Human Design points out that our individuality is inherently efficient. Recognizing the efficiency within our uniqueness allows us to navigate the challenges of life without falling into a state of tension or rigidity.
Let’s now look at the 3rd gate:
In this energetic outlet of the Sacral Centre, we find the energy to begin something, to give expression to a unique pulse of life. It needs to transcend confusion in that process and establish a new and unique order.
The hexagram’s drawing - The Abysmal (Water) over Thunder – illustrates a deep commitment to our adaptational capacities which represents ‘ordering.’
When we approach this coding mentally, we lose contact with the organic unity of life leading to a feeling of separateness from Existence.
Here, the mind identifies with confusion and sets the stage for a binary that either involves withholding and stepping into oneself in an empowering way or getting swept away by chaos and disorder. This binary accentuates a separative stance, contributing to a state of chaos and inefficiency rather that establishing a unique order.
Instead of trusting our Being and its inherent intelligence for knowing and order, we solely rely on the mind which leads to confusion and knowledge instead of unique experiencing and knowing.
When we learn to approach the Sacral Centre with awareness, it shows us that the door to interconnectedness lies in the embrace of our own differentiation and uniqueness.
In the context of this energetic outlet talking about transcending confusion and establishing order, it is interesting to mention a Sufi technique called “the technique of confusion.” This technique invites one to be so totally confused that nothing of knowledge remains, that everything one knows is uprooted which leads to emptiness and darkness. Confusion is an expression of our attachment to knowledge. When all knowledge is dropped, confusion cannot remain, and order establishes naturally from our essence. It is a deep invitation to come to see for ourselves, to establish our own awareness and individual knowing, to embrace our own pulse of life.
Let’s now look at the whole channel of Initiation 3-60:
When we approach this life force mentally, the pulse energy of life is distorted and knowing is prevented.
Pulsation is the fundamental rhythm of life. It is an alternating movement between contraction and release which is inherent to the flow of Existence.
All life is permeated by this interplay of opposites, yin and yang, the tender and aggressive sub-impulses of life as coined in bioenergetics. This pulsating rhythm aligns with physiological and biological processes and extends to the realms of emotion and consciousness.
When we approach this life force mentally, we distort the pulse of life and prevent ourselves from attuning to it. We cling to the mind and its defenses instead of trusting the uniqueness and the knowing it can give rise to.
When we learn to approach the coding with awareness, we see that energy fluctuates and initiates.
The pulsation of energy of life is a dynamic force that fluctuates and initiates. When we approach it with awareness, when we attune to our own pulsation, we initiate our Being. We move from addressing it through the mind – knowledge – to knowing and experiencing it consciously.
This knowing puts Love into the world thanks to addressing the ‘Love-in-Movement’ we are with awareness. As such, it has a mutative influence on Existence and the world, what Ra referred to as a ‘cultural mutation.’ Living the magic of our life spark is a contribution to evolution and Existence. Thanks to this initiation, a new individual frequency vibrates consciously within the totality and embraces the paradox life is.
“Lao Tzu has said that the greatest religious person never does anything, but millions of things happen through him. He is never a doer, but much happens through him. He simply goes on sitting and yet the impact of his being on the world of affairs is tremendous. He will give a new energy, a new pulse to life, he will impart a new pulsation to life. You may not come to know about him, but you may have been benefitted by him.”
(Osho, The Art of Dying, ch9)
The Neutrino weather of the week
This week we are encountering the Channel of Mutation in the neutrino weather, hence my further elaborations on it in the writings I’m sharing with you this week.
It is a week of potentially getting caught in a weather that imbues us with a feeling of ‘stuckness’ while it pushes us simultaneously to take control in an audacious way that can reflect confusion instead of centredness.
