From March 7th through the 12th...The Sun is transiting Gate 22, Grace/Openness. The Earth is transiting Gate 47, Mindset/Realization.
These are two super important energies.
They have great names: Grace and Openness, Mindset and Realization.
They combine two different circuitries: Individual Knowing and Collective Sensing/Abstract.
So on the one hand, we’re tapping into our inner knowing, our inner sense of beauty, grace, openness, and on the other hand, we’re at the mercy of our Mindset.
We can’t allow the realizations to land – unless we have an open mindset…
This dynamic combination can go one of two ways…
We can be tapped in to our inner knowing, listening deeply, embodying a kind of graciousness…
OR
We can be disconnected from our inner knowing, caught in a negative mindset, trapped in an emotional spin.
As Viewed So Appears....
How we see things impacts what we see…
As viewed so appears is taken from Paul Levy’s book, Quantum Revelation.
This statement reflects the double slit experiment in quantum physics which understands that reality exists in relationship to being observed.
In other words, what our mindset is, determines what we allow ourselves to experience and know.
With Earth in 47, The Mindset Gate this week, there is an opportunity to look at our mindset.
What lens are we viewing life through?
Is it a distortion lens based on an early wound?
If so, we’re in relation to the world from a victimized place.
With the Sun in Gate 22 coming off the Emotional Solar Plexus, there is a potential for deep feelings and emotional swings.
This Gate of Grace can be gracious – or not!
I think of the jingle my mother used to say to me:
There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good she was very very good.
When she was bad, she was horrid.
These two energies – Mindset and Grace can either elevate us and raise our frequencies to new heights…
OR
They can combust and bring us down into a hell-realm of no possibility and distress.
Richard Rudd speaks to the energy of 22, Grace, as holding a deep reverence for all of life.
His path for the energy of 47 is Oppression, Transmutation, and Transfiguration.
He says: The bottom line is that our oppression – the particular nuances and flavours of our suffering and karma during this lifetime, are exactly equivalent to the greatness of our inner light. Their purpose is to awaken that light.
From this viewpoint...
We can witness our negative mindsets and use them for transformation.
Use them, we could say, to open into Grace.
Let me give you an example from my life…
This weekend I was a small group retreat with Pali and a number of close friends with the exact intention of using our wounds to awaken to our True Nature.
We were at a magnificent location overlooking the ocean.
The host, a very dear friend, asked if the temperature was good for everyone.
Everyone she said, except for Robin. She didn’t care what I thought.
She and I had had years of temperature jostling.
She typically kept the room frigid (from my view!). I had an aversion to being cold, and was always trying to get it warmer.
Even though she spoken partially in jest, in that moment I viewed it as mean, dismissive, disrespectful.
It was direct hit on an old wound.
My typical reaction flared, a shut down. A pull back. An inner voice that said I’m out of here.
I was deeply hurt. Furious.
I actually walked out of the room for the opening 30 minute meditation and sat outside in the warm Maui air.
When I came back....
I worked the trigger with Pali in the group.
I applied the Six Step Process to use the wound for transformation – to bring more light.
As much as my pattern informed me that I’d been mistreated, and would righteously make the host wrong, I used the Mindset Awareness to take my attention particles off of her and to recognize that this was about me.
An earlier wound had been touched.
There was an opportunity to see it for what it was, to liberate it with the light of Awareness.
The predominate feelings were powerlessness, outrage, total disregard of my needs.
I had a history of being cold, and not having it acknowledged and responded to.
I took a moment to inquire.
The initial memory that arose was being 8 years old and breaking my leg the first time I went skiing. The first run, in fact.
I remembered lying in the back of the station wagon with my leg in a cardboard makeshift brace as we drove the two and a half hours home to get a cast.
My brothers, not happy about having to leave, and generally not interested in my needs…insisted on having the windows open. I was freezing, but they just laughed. Told me to put a blanket on.
Other memories started flooding in…the memory of getting frost bite on my toes the next season I skied…My ski boots had been inadequate…
My doctor dad was shocked and distressed when he saw my feet and treated me…why hadn’t I said anything, he asked.
I HAD. But no one listened to me when I told them my feet were cold and hurt. That my feet were numb.
(Of course – there is that Open Throat Center in the mix!)
As I tapped in, a flurry of memories downloaded…in each one I was a victim of the cold. My needs not heard, respected, or acknowledged.
Stepping back into Awareness and seeing the pattern….
Seeing that I believed/concluded that my needs didn’t matter…
(UNDERSTANDABLY, given my experience)….
I saw that I had been living through that lens: my needs don’t matter.
As viewed, so appears.
Only it wasn’t true!
OF COURSE MY NEEDS MATTERED!
This is a little challenging to describe, but in seeing the pattern, and seeing it wasn’t true…
You could say my Mindset changed.
You could say I brought the light of Awareness to the early wound, the early conclusion, the early view.
As I did, the emotional entanglement, the emotional pain dissipated. Tensions in my body began to unwind.
The lens cleared.
No longer identified as the victim, I felt present, connected, At One with everyone in the group.
I felt Grace.
Openness.
The deep reverence for all of life.
Something opened. Something shifted.
Allowing that wound to be seen, held, acknowledged shifted my view.
I can’t say what will be different going forward.
But something fundamental has shifted….
HOW HAVE THESE MINDSET/GRACE ENERGIES IMPACTED YOU?
Have you found yourself more emotional this week?
Triggered?
Have early wounds been touched?
Or have you been touched by Grace, Openness.
Perhaps both.
What’s your mindset been like?
Invitation to take time to inquire.
To see if there are old stories/old conclusions you’re still believing – and living out of….
Can you allow them to be opportunities?
Join me and those of us who are ready to be free….
Take advantage of a mindset shift…
As the world as we’ve known it begins to fall into a new level of chaos…
Let’s open to Grace.
Let’s lean into Truth.
Let’s rest in our natural state of Being.
Let’s liberate our wounds.
Let’s identify with our Awareness – rather than our early conclusions…
Blessings on your path-
In love and with light,
Robin
P.S.
We continue to explore the Planets in our Human Design Certification Training. Investigating which Planet is in which Gate. How does that energy show up in our lives…Are we in alignment with it? Are we in resistance to it?
My Unconscious Moon is in Gate 22. It is a powerful energy in my chart. One that I will continue to explore and work with long after the Sun has transited out of the 22.
What do you know about your Planets and the Gates they occupy? Are you curious?
If you are getting the message that Human Design is crucial to deepen your understanding of yourself, and to supporting your clients and/or family during this global transition, We are taking applications for our yearlong training.
Join a community of like-hearted souls opening to living their potential and supporting others to do the same!
What shifts in Awareness await you?
Are you ready to take the next step…
PPS. Yep, I’ve started making paintings with As Viewed So Appears. That one I gave to my dear friend and host!
