NODAL ENVIRONMENT 20-34

Walking in the dark:

You never takes time to step back and reflect. You are identifying with your environment and take on the themes of always being busy with making changes. You are always living in tomorrow so that you are never able to see what is right in front of you. When unaware, you can be extremely unaware of yourself and how your actions affect the other. You can come across very arrogant and pushy as you don't know how to slow down and stop exerting all that power. There is a an urge to exert power, at all times, as it seems to heavy to carry. This can have a very negative effect, as the power of the great doesn't need to be shown to be experienced as such.

Before making a move, always consider others people's perspectives and respect their boundaries. Anger will never win you anything.

When you identify the self with the environment, you live life through impulses of your body. The body becomes the master of the self, and this can lead to a lot of trouble. When you are avoiding to step on your line of geometry, you are avoiding guidance to awareness, you are denying existence of the self within the body, and as a separate entity from the vehicle. Running away from your path makes you blind to seeing what is right in front of you.

Walking in the light:

The so needed regeneration is achieved while stepping back after completing something.

You know it's necessary to take time to learn and grow before making future steps. You also always take past into consideration and are careful before making any changes. The lesson for you is to learn to be present and notice what is there right in front of you, that you are not paying attention to, because you're living in the future. The door is open, but why is it that you are not seeing it?

What is pulling your energy away from seeing? You know that you don't always have to move, and are aware that the best steps are made when you have been asked to make them. Great power lays in the willingness to adapt rather then forcing things. Limitations can be nourishing, as they create space for growth and development. Even if you think you have the energy, the time may not be right. Contemplate before every action. The one that carries Great power with awareness, gets recognized when silent. Wisdom doesn't require demonstration.
