THE SHADOW — Unease

In the original Chinese I Ching, the inspiration for these 64 Gene Keys, each symbol or hexagram is represented by the combining of eight different types of natural phenomena such as thunder, wind, earth, fire and so on. The 58th Gift is symbolised by the single repeated figure of a lake. A lake is a beautiful and simple symbol on which to meditate because it immediately captures the very essence of calmness.

Lakes signify emotional calm as well as mental stillness. Moreover, when you study the 58" Gene Key’s programming partner, the 52" Gene Key, you will discover that

its highest and most natural manifestation is stillness. These themes of joy and stillness are therefore intimately and genetically linked. In contrast, the 58‘ Shadow — Dissatisfaction — is very unspecific. It is a lack of fulfilment rooted in the programming partner of this 58' shadow, the 52"4 shadow of Stress. It doesn’t refer directly to a particular emotional state such as sadness, boredom or frustration, or to a mental state such as anxiety or worry. It simply implies a lack of joy and a deep sense of restlessness or unease.

Whenever the 52 shadow of Stress breaks the surface of the still inner lake inside you, your natural state of being is lost. The question contained within this 58 shadow then is: how does this happen? How and why do human beings so easily lose touch with their natural state? The answer lies in a single concept— the future. As you peruse and contemplate these 64 Gene Keys you will see that there are entire Gene Keys— for example the 10 and the 20' — which are dedicated to the experience known as living in the now.

This simple expression is the core principle of almost all great mystical and spiritual systems and paths. So how on earth do you live in the present moment? One way to bring greater awareness to this conundrum is to understand why, how and when you leave the present moment in your own life. In this respect, the 58" shadow and its Gift can lend you considerable insight.

Most people drawn to reading this work will already know that the main culprit within human beings is the mind. If you are at all interested in spirituality or self- improvement you probably have heard this over and over again — the mind is the problem. Out of this truth countless systems have been born — meditations, practices, affirmations and modalities — all with the single purpose of helping you transcend the mind and find inner fulfilment.

Although it is indeed true that the mind is the root of the problem, there is great danger in directly confronting the mind because it is such a slippery mechanism. The problem with the mind is that it hankers after self-improvement, the very core of the 58' Shadow. It wants more than anything to give you the feeling that you can do something to bring about the state of joy. Unfortunately, in this respect, anything you do — any technique, any system, any strategy — can only bring about continued ...

THE SIDDHI — Clarity

At the higher reaches of the 57" Gene Key, you begin to access the ability to tune your clairaudience beyond the borders of time. This marvellous gift thus allows you to bend time and intuit the future, which in turn changes the way you live your life, allowing you to relax more deeply into your being than ever before. Even at this incredibly high level of consciousness however, the subtlest traces of Shadow frequencies may still remain.

Your abilities allow you to sense what is coming, but you are still functioning within the realm of duality. In seeing the future you acknowledge its existence and, as long as it exists, you don’t function fully within the present. Your awareness at these levels has stabilised for the most part in the present, but it still flickers in and out of the present moment.

When the ancient sages spoke of the siddhis or special powers as potential obstacles to the path of liberation, they may well have been referring to the upper reaches of the 57 Gene Key. Because your frequency becomes very refined at this level, your intuition penetrates everything, including human beings. The sheer sense of power one feels from being able to sense the future or read a person’s aura in this way can become an addiction to one operating at this level.

The subtlest fear becomes the fear of losing all that power by going any further. Of course, when the veil lifts and reveals the 57 Siddhi, you do indeed lose these powers, but not in the sense that one would normally understand. What you lose is the sense of power

itself. Since you lose your identification as a separate being, the whole concept of individual power comes to an end.

The 57‘ siddhi is the Siddhi of Clarity. Since they are programming partners, the 51%t and 57' siddhis always dawn together. Thus we only see reality clearly when we awaken fully. The only way to expunge fear totally from your being is to eliminate that being altogether, which is what occurs at the siddhic sphere of consciousness. At the Shadow level, we explored the idea that each human being acts as a kind of acoustic tuning fork, picking up the frequencies of the output source beside which it is placed.

Similarly, we can see how this works at the Gift level as your awareness expands to pick up a wider and more integrated vision of reality. At the siddhic level, which really brings an end to all levels, the output source and the receiver eliminate each other. You could also say that they come into a harmony so perfect that it is experienced as silence. This state is the eternal now.

It captures and conveys the very truth of immortality. There is no fear because there is no tomorrow and therefore there is no death. This is clarity.

We learned that the original symbol for this archetype is the wind. In the I Ching, it is usually translated as the gentle wind. This essence of gentleness is one of the greatest secrets to life. Consciousness is the gentlest, most subtle phenomenon. ...
