    29: You Could Be The Water

    In the I’Ching the gua structure of hexagram 29 is Water over Water. The yin of the yin. A seemingly bottomless pit. Water cannot flow until the cup runneth over. Despair is a natural response in the Absymal depths of 29 and perhaps this fear of our vast power keeps us engaging half-heartedly to distract us from the truth. The truth that as a vessel of consciousness we contain multitudes that lie outside of moral dictation and structure. The ways in which we’ve been told to apply our energy in the world that was deemed valuable or….productive. But Leo season has shown us that we ARE royal. A highness of exact solar impact. This expression of life force within, is ferocious and potentially painful. It threatens to destroy all that does not honor its truth. How then can we kneel before the magnitude of our spirit and honor this fully? Commitment to protect build a reality that honors this knowing. That honors this light. A hearth that can hold and be fed and feed and warm the weary. This is not about domination, it is about self-mastery in serving what is good and whole. That which brings light. Protecting innocence. Being in service to collective sanctity. This is earthen walls of Virgo’s service holding the fire of Leo in reverence. 29 will bridge us from Leo into the Virgin’s sanctuary. A place of Holy Remembrance. An altar of service and devotion. 29 invites us to recommit to ourselves as Inner Sanctums of wholeness and light. That nothing done in apathy is done. Our feeble attempts to live up to external expectations keeps us estranged from our fire. From ourselves. In order to construct the dream in which we seek, we must commit our body mind and souls to its work. A process to honor, a destination to rejoice. The sanctuary is the process. We must construct the Heavens we experience, less they disappear before our very eyes. In order to build Heaven, we must remember her in our Mother Night. In putting the body to rest, we enter portals of rebirth and remembrance. This dreamscape of rest in the body, weaves together the reality of spirit. In the dream worlds of rest. Found by yin of yin. Water over water. The womb of life. The sanctuary is built to dream, to rest, to remember. As mentioned in this episode: THE HERBAL ASTROLOGY Oracle - Adriana Ayales The Definitive Book of Human Design - Ra Uru Hu, Lynda Bunnell The Gene Keys - Richard Rudd The Complete IChing - translated by Taoist Master Alfred Huang Yin Mysticism - Brynna Magnusson Rainmaker: You Could Be The Water - Clarissa Pinkola Estes Observation Notes Hexagram 29 : The Abysmal, Darkness Notes: Water over Water. The Mother Night. This hexagram amplifies the trust needed in the sacral’s cyclical nature. Once a cycle runs course, darkness follows. Darkness as rest and nourishment. Water over water is yin of the yin. Water cannot flow until the cup has been filled. This is the energy to fulfill a cycle but is not the direction or purpose (46). Gene Key 29: The Shadow of Half-Heartedness, The Gift of Commitment, The Siddhi of Devotion Notes: “Amino Acid is Valine. Valine helps keep the body healthy and functioning under stress. Similarly to 4, this is about how energy from external input is put to use. How we begin cycles is the nature of their full becoming. Commitment is the seed of good fortune. Luck as an ideal of attuned sacral response. Half-heartedness is dishonesty in that there is no full response to engage the process. The Gift expression is guided by full response and is not concerned with its outcome, it enjoys the process of unfoldment. Gate 29: The Abysmal, The Gate of Perseverance Notes: “The deep within the deep. Persistence despite difficulties has its inevitable rewards.” “A constant affirmation of life.” The gate details the energy of cyclicality that may no longer be there. The translation is more positive but seems to imply the impending end that must be disengaged in order to correctly commit your energy. “Always eager to say yes”. Encourages Strategy and Authority to correctly engage. Questions to consider: * In what ways can I deepen my devotion to the path that life is already unfolding for me? * What happens when I treat each “yes” I give as sacred? * How does commitment to one step at a time reveal a bigger journey I couldn’t see at first? * Where in my life do I notice myself saying “yes” without truly meaning it?

  4. The Oppressive Mirror of Truth

    The Oppressive Mirror of Truth

    In this solo episode I pull from my Realm of Being deck based on the 64 hexagrams of the I’Ching to channel a reflective message of the transient times I’m/we’re experiencing. This episode is a sort of experiment of my reflective nature to share insights into how we might be personally experiencing the present energies individually.  If you’ve connected with my podcast, chances are this message holds a fractal truth and it’s for you to decide how that message gets translated. Whether it’s an oppositional message that triggers you or a resonant message that affirms your own process, it’s entirely yours to know.  In this episode I pull hexagram 43 — 45 — 24/27 43 - is about translating your individual stories, ideas and thoughts and preparing them for manifestation and expression into the world 45 - is about gathering, and being sensitive to what a group/environment needs to flourish in the manifest world 24/27 - is about sitting in contemplation with your individual inspiration to watch what naturally emerges for you to nurture the fullest expression of your energy The present energetics are very collective and observing the dark parts and shadows of our history. This channeling is about how we apply this awareness of shadow into a stable and heart centered knowing of what our own energy needs to succeed and flourish ourselves and those around us! This energy is about getting brutally honest about how we can continue to perpetuate the same cycles of oppression we see in the collective inward upon ourselves and thus onto our loved ones as byproduct.  Medicine for this energy : observe our shadow and inherited stories with love, look to the environment for clues of observed shadow, admitting the truth of what no longer serves, sitting in contemplation to allow what naturally emerges to find florescence from within, finding what already nurtures us inside our environment, talking to loved and trusted ones.
