This is about the struggle of being human and all the conflicting currents between heaven and hell.
Shadow - Dullness: This shadow manifests when your spirit feels low. Dullness is a low frequency attitude to being alive. Two people can experience the same event, but attitude will determine how that event is perceived - as good or bad, exciting or boring. The greatest fear in the 15th shadow is repetition: reliving the same ordinariness forever. While we can’t escape the dullness of human life, we can alter our attitude about it, how we interpret it. Dullness is neither at the top or bottom of the spectrum, its right in the center. There’s no extreme, no polarity. Polarity is never dull, only the lack of “charge” is dull. It’s this lack of spark that we fear. In its repressive nature, dullness is an empty feeling. In its reactive nature, it’s extremest.
Gift - Magnetism: When we realize the profoundness of dullness, we slow down and learn to trust the natural ebb and flow of life events. The more we move into these slower speeds, and match the speed of earths natural rhythms, the more magnetic we become. What was perceived as dullness now reveals itself as the fullness of the abundance of life. The gift of magnetism is displayed by those who are rooted in the world and in tune with the natural rhythms of all life. They accept the ordinariness of everything yet see the true beauty in that ordinariness. There is no separation between the mystical and the mundane. Magnetism is the power to influence and be influenced through the aura.
Siddhi - Florescence: Florescence is “the bursting into flower”. It’s something we recognize in others, but cannot force to occur. It cannot be attained until the mind has given up all control. It is too unpredictable and spontaneous for the mind to understand. It’s not that we need to stop thinking, but to stop identifying with thinking. There is no technique to ensure enlightenment. Awareness comes on its own accord. Reaching your highest self is the flowering, the Florescence.
I Ching - Qian - Humbleness: The fifteenth gua of the I Ching is translated as humbleness. Some use the translation of modesty. Being humble always brings about a great harvest. This holds the sense of lack of pride and self-importance. The superior person weighs things and makes them balance.in daily life.
Questions for Contemplation: When do you find yourself concerned over living a dull life? How do you feel when you think about not finding “your spark”? Can you see that dullness, that emptiness, as a great vessel for the abundance that is already around you? How do you feel about slowing down to meet the natural rhythms of the earth? Does this slowing down feel too slow or uncomfortable for you?
Share your contemplations on this 15th Gene Key. How or when does the shadow show up for you? What small shifts can you make in your awareness and your consciousness to move from shadow to gift? Has this shadow reappeared for you with additional challenges even after raising your vibration and moving forward?
Appreciate your words, thank you. The 15th is the sphere of my purpose, and life has asked me in recent weeks to experience life with almost no energy to move, agonising in exhaustion and yet simultaneously spectacular sense-'ability'.
