"Out of the darkness and into the light."
Seeds planted under the cloak of night rise up and expand into the light. When our comfort zone becomes uncomfortable, it's due to the cramping of conditions. Conditions that need to be broken through. These breakthroughs usually occur after we've had some sort of breakdown. The breakdown leads us to the realization that we've outgrown what has been.
If we are to keep going, we must push beyond by detaching from what was. This letting go frees us to grab onto what's coming. What's coming is the harvest, but we must stretch and reach forward to get to the summit. There's a bright future ahead. Until then, we ascend. Inward and upward. Until we've reached the peaking point, where the fruits of our labor finally bloom. Having risen above the past, we can peek back with newfound clarity. Hindsight is foresight. Knowing where we've been indicates what yet looms overhead. How far we've come is a window into how far we'll go. ∞
"Be fruitful and multiply."
When we're in the middle of a major transition, a major cycle of growth, it might not be immediately apparent. We might not recognize the metamorphosis that's taking place. As old things fade out, we may be so centered in the pain of their loss that we don't yet see the light of abundance on its way. Abundance that can't reach us until we've cleared our inner and outer space to make room for it. Death, dissolution, and liquidation precedes multiplication. This multiplication is the dissemination, diffusion, and the scattering about of new visions.
The most profound stages of growth take place in hiding (subconscious). That is, until it's time to come out (make conscious). Until it's time to get turned back on. To emerge from hibernation. To beam, to radiate, with renewed vigor. To radiate is to emit, to diffuse, to give off, and/or to emanate. Atziluth: We're inspired to give out. Briah: Ready to create, new thoughts begin to take shape. Yetzirah: Blueprints finalized and images impressed, anchored informaton spreads. Assiah: Motivated, we take action and bring our vision into the light of manifestation.
To multiply is to increase in size, quantity, and/or quality. To chart this, we would see an arrow gradually ascending. Gradual, because promotive change that endures appears to be slow, steady, and consistent. There'll be periodic declines in the ascent. However, even the slight drops of backtracking will still be at higher levels than in previous stages. It's because this ascent is gradual that we often aren't aware of how much progress we're making while we're in the midst of it. Not until we actually reflect on how far we've come.
This slow charge, this build-up, can trigger sudden upsets in our lives. These dramatic bursts will be noted as little blips (ascents/descents) in our imaginary graph. These tumultuous events can come to us in exciting moments or disappointing ones. There'll be a peak and a sudden drop. From there, we can then return to the heights we fell from. This may be followed again by a brief plateau or period of of adjustment before further progress is made. The plateau can be seen as a horizontal flatline, a dead zone, or a lull in activity. This evens us out as we re-enter that period of elimination. Again, releasing to hold on and to re-stabilize. But not for too long, though, because we must keep things moving and shaking.
This concludes today's article for my 30 Days, 30 Posts challenge. Tomorrow's topic of discussion will be about Hearing. Yesterday's article was on Control.
