This week, I have created videos for each card, where I relay my interpretation of the cards. I invite you to begin with the introduction below where I share my experience on this path.
1. FARSIGHTEDNESS - Key 17
Gift: Farsightedness
Shadow: Opinion
Siddhi: Omniscience
Gift From The Wisdom Keeper:
Farsightedness is here to remind you that nothing - no Opinion, theory, dogma or belief - is more important than love. The only way to liberate yourself from the unhealthy grip of an Opinionated life is to develop a sense of humor. True Farsightedness requires that you don't take yourself too seriously or what anyone says too personally. Laugh more. It's not about shutting down your brilliant mind, ignoring the patterns that you see or giving up on improving the world. But it is about being able and willing to see (and feel) every aspect of the whole simultaneously. Have all the Opinions you want. But remember, you are not your Opinion. You are so much more. You are a scientist of the heart, here to contribute your part to the future of humanity by seeing the small and the big picture, all at once.
Questions from Juliana:
Which of your Opinions are you most attached to?
How do you criticize yourself?
What is it like for you to sit in discussion with someone who has a different Opinion of your own? Do you argue? Do you agree with them? Do you become defensive? Do you remain curious?
Practice Suggestions from Juliana:
The shadow of Opinion is very active in our current reality, people are experiencing: polarization between loved ones, public shaming and cancel culture. The power of the 17th shadow of Opinion is that once it holds a fixed viewpoint, it will search for all the evidence available to support that opinion. When you become attached and over-serious about your opinions, you immediately feel like you need to defend them. This results in an energy that is closed to the experiences of others and the multiple possibilities that exist in our multiverse. Consider: Where do you hold such strong viewpoints that you feel you need to argue to support them? How are you contributing to our current global shadow of Opinion? How can you pull back and see through the lens of Farsightedness?
There are two aspects of the shadow of Opinion: Self-criticism and Opinionated. This means that the shadow of Opinion is either directed outward at the world or towards yourself. Like all the shadows of the Gene Keys, Opinion is formed from the energy of Fear. We fear what others may think of us so we judge ourselves harshly. Or we fear the opinion of others so we defend our opinions endlessly. Contemplate: Do you tend to agree more with opinions of others and criticize your own actions? Or do you defend your opinions without being able to hear the opinions of others?
The left hemisphere of the brain supports us with logic and the right hemisphere of the brain brings us creativity. The left brain sees in parts and the right brain sees in wholes. When the two are working together equally, the expression of Opinion is woven with an energy of playfulness. Journal: Where in your life do you take your opinions very seriously? How could you invite in curiosity and play into your opinions?
2. EQUILIBRIUM - Key 50
Gift: Equilibrium
Shadow: Corruption
Siddhi: Harmony
Gift From The Wisdom Keeper:
Equilibrium brings you a vision of a new world, where peace, Harmony and collaboration prevail. In you, I see a potential of inner peace and a gift for bringing Equilibrium and balance to any group of which you're a part. To ignite these gifts, you must first be willing to put all of your hidden agendas on the table. Own and take responsibility for your ulterior motives and your self-trust will grow. With self-trust you can create the safe space necessary for others to face and embrace their own Shadows. This is how to co-create a truly peaceful world. There is a self-organizing intelligence that naturally arises when people are empowered to be who they are, and are encouraged to contribute passionately to the ever-evolving whole. Remember to be playful. What's the point of a new world if we can't enjoy it?
Questions from Juliana:
What are your hidden motives?
Are you aware of your own motives and why you have them?
Do you trust yourself and who you are?
What would life be like without our hierarchical systems?
Practice Suggestions from Juliana:
Corruption moves beyond the most common description of the word, which places corruption in large corporations and governments. Let's start thinking of corruption as the information that we are absorbing is being translated through fear which leads to a slanted view and manifestation of the world. Corruption comes from the need to control and keep hierarchy in play. Practice: Begin to look at corruption that you see with an understanding that it is created from a fear based place of the need to control.
Corruption is the symptom of a collectively created reality. As our world becomes more open to the differences in human beings, the shadow of corruption gets louder because the fearful mind wants to create order and control out of what it sees as nonsensical. The fear misinterprets this openness and corrupts the information of what these differences can mean. This manifests in two ways for the individual: through submission to the control or through reaction. Those who submit, go along with the corruption and the hierarchy. Those who react take advantage of the corruption and profit from it. Journal: What are you looking to understand or integrate into your life? How can you take practice steps to have an experience of the understanding that you seek?
3. DISCERNMENT - Key 13
Gift: Discernment
Shadow: Discord
Siddhi: Empathy
Gift From The Wisdom Keeper:
