Unease and discomfort are the guardians at the gate to our deeper heart
Most of us have established ways to not having to feel them ...
In my contemplation of GK 57 - that moves from the shadow of unease to the gift of intuition and the siddhi of clarity - I discovered how this fundamental avoidance comes at a price.
In the enneagram it's the basic avoidance of discomfort in the 9, the human way of numbing ourselves.
We all pay a price, mostly without being aware of it.
Not many role models out there encourage us to simply stay with uneasy feelings or uncomfortable situations.
And now I'm telling you:
they show us the way
they invite us to pause
they are here to FEEL them
No solution in this moment
No detour
No escape
Are you willing to BE with them?
My willingness to discover what life is showing me as I slow down
and acknowledge what is here
what is now
naturally brings me to deeper layers in myself,
closer to my core,
unlocking the gift of intuition
the quality of presence
Only by being present with what is
my angry partner
my screaming child
my unexpected bill
am I penetrating the more surface drama of my life.
This is what is asked of me should I choose to live life fully
choose to be willing to unfold my full human potential
choose to be the one to stop ancestral baggage from being passed down the line
It is in breathing through unease and discomfort that I pass through the gate
and come closer to my deeper humanness
From here life flows authentically
and real
moment by moment
in clarity
and presence
