AVOIDING vs. SURRENDERING TO YOUR LINE OF GEOMETRY

Walking in the Dark

Relying on believes rather than experiences. Being full of fears and blockages which stop you from living your life. Uncomfortable with change, living life in comfort zones. Stability leads to stagnation and eventually collapse. Not seeing benefits of limitations, but letting them restrict you from movement and change. Prone to depression due to self imposed restrictions and limiting beliefs. You can be somebody who is afraid to leave your family home, nervous to experience life to the fullest. Clinging on to situations and people, being commited to your principles, stops you from growth.

Walking in the light

Recognizing the beauty of limitations. Seeing how they can shape your creative processes and trigger a much needed change. Every obstacle is there for a reason, trying to avoid them will just create new obstacles, where facing them and seeing every such experience as a lesson can be of great benefit. There is so much creativity and innovation to be found when you feel restricted. Pay attention to those things that are right in front of you and you never dared to explore them. Traveling can really help you release the burdens you are carrying. Also beneficial is simply going for a walk, alone, discovering new environments, with no sense of destination. On your correct path, you have no difficulty letting people and possessions go, you have no pressures to commit, and are able to live life with no expectations, never minding what happens.
