Today I heard about a casual acquaintance who is smoking despite being in treatment for lung cancer. I feel such compassion. I am seeing so many of us deal with very primal fear. And sometimes we don’t seem to have the bandwidth to get through. Yet what I see over and over is for those who make the radical choice to choose love over fear, love always wins.
Yesterday I found a little vile that said something like “being joyful on earth for no reason.“ I got this incense at the Celtic festival about 15 years ago. At that time being joyful or happy on earth for no reason seems like Mission impossible.
Turns out I come by that challenge honestly. Turns out my radiance is gene key 13. Turns out my challenge, my deepest challenge is not being overwhelmed being human.
For about a year from 1999 to 2000 I created an archetypal figure beloved who had roots On her boots and wings. I Mythically already sensed/knew my challenge. that hasn’t made it any easier to face.
But sometimes people tell me that the fears or challenges I have are easy for them. No kidding. Each of us will have designed our own personal hall of horrors to pass through to the full remembering of our divinity while playing human. I send my love and compassion to each of us as we face at this time many challenges, at least most people I know seem to be in that situation. When we encounter another in fear may we have the bandwidth to meet them with a kind compassionate holding. On my good days I can do just that.
Yes I want to confess there’s a couple of dynamics that still have me in a corkscrew. Compassion to self until this to gets zero pointed.
My Radiance – what keeps me healthy – Gene Key 13
There is a deep ascetic aspect to your nature. You need to set up regular periods of time to be alone with yourself and nature. Your body craves time away from people so that you can connect in to the source that unites all people. As someone who can be highly empathic to others, you also draw great strength from nature, and she helps you in processing and purging the many impressions and experiences that move mysteriously through your body. Your greatest danger is the fear that you cannot handle being human, and that you cannot face being with people because it overwhelms you. It will only overwhelm you if you are holding back some secret part of yourself. Your protection from the suffering of the world is to accept it so totally into your being that it passes right through you. The greatest secret of your life is that you have no secrets from anyone.
