NODAL ENVIRONMENT 35-5

Walking in the dark

To recognise that you are in the wrong environment or walking a path that wasn't meant for you, you will find yourself often feeling extremely exhausted, as you are constantly forcing energy. There is a constant urge to progress, and an inability to stay still and patient. Being so focused on manifesting progress, you end up alone because you are unable to see that this drive is not in alignment with the world around you. In an example of gardening; you plant a seed and you are checking the garden bed everyday, desperately seeking for growth. Taking control over other peoples progress and actively directing and influencing their decision leads to resistance. You find yourself filled with judgement, forcing outcomes and interactions.

Walking in the light

Your correct line of geometry is one that is keeping you patient, still and untouched by the lack of such states around you. It is where you are not forcing outcomes but are able to be receptive to what comes on your path. So very often chaos and busyness will be what you come across in your journey and these will be the opportunities where you can learn not to be influenced by them. The delays that you are experiencing in different areas of your life are your nodes pushing you onto your correct line of geometry where you can accept that progress has nothing to do with force and are able to let things unfold on their accord. On this road you are the patient gardener who plants a seed and knows that the progress is happening from day one, it just doesn't always have to be seen. Awareness that delays are necessary. Energy is not dependent on force.

Ask yourself how is the waiting changing you and notice how your vision gets more clear when you are able to sit in standstill.
