NODAL ENVIRONMENT 23-43

Walking in the dark

Consistent pressures to create something new. Possible awareness of homogenised environments that keeps triggering new, mentally driven constructs. Not taking correct timing into account creates a lot of resistance on this path. In the dark you have enormous need to stay in control and are filled with fears of the unknown, you resist change and letting go, so this may often feel forced onto you. Change is necessary and all the challenges that you are facing are pushing you towards a change of mind. Anger and force waste your energy and show you that the obstacle has not been overcome. Don't keep things for yourself, even if you know that what you say will lead to separation. Difficulty voicing one's thoughts due to fears of emotional reactions of others. Keeping things in with the illusion of control. Resisting to let go of the past.

Waking in the light:

Awareness that separation and destruction are not negative processes, but rather necessary in order to achieve breakthrough. Knowing when the correct time to proceed with action has arrived. Building up energy rather than acting out on short burst impulses. Loosing people and relationships may seem unfair, but the only way you learn successfully is once something becomes a part of the past. Conflict should not make you defensive but rather open you up in order to achieve breakthrough, and is to be seen as your sudden opportunities for learning and stepping onto your line of geometry. Regeneration doesn't come out of stagnation, it is only possible after destruction.
