GENE KEY 7: VIRTUE IS ITS OWN REWARD

Spectrum: Division → Guidance → Virtue THE SHADOW — Division the Shadow of Desire — is where the connection between your ability to listen is weighed against the raw force of your human desire. This codon, which codes for the amino acid known as glutamine, is one of the great human genetic battlefields. Interestingly enough, there is now a large body of scientific evidence linking this amino acid to various functions and malfunctions in our gut. Symbolically, one might draw a connection between how effectively we human beings process our past and how effectively our body eliminates waste. The force of human desire found in the 30" shadow usually outweighs our ability to listen to our past experience, and this leads us once again down roads that do not serve humanity as a whole. The problem is rooted in the human emotional system and this 30" shadow of Desire is the core of it. Because desire cannot be sated in its current form, it influences the direction of the whole human race. Despite what has happened in our past, we go on making the same poor decisions and judgments. This sets up a global frequency of discord in which we can clearly see where we have been going wrong, but are unable to remedy it at a collective level. An example of this is the current threat of global warming. We can see what damage our lifestyle is doing to the long- term future of our planet, but our desire outstrips the energy to do anything about it. Anyone who has a deep knowledge of human history will see the same cycles being repeated over and over but each time with different nuances. It is true that today there is more global awareness of the problem than ever before. However, this awareness does not change human behaviour. We hear the discord that we are creating, but we do not listen to it. In the end, our emotional urge to satiate the desire within always wins. That sums up the dilemma of the 13‘ shadow. We hear only discord in the world because we are unable to listen to the overall dilemma. The ancient Chinese name for this 13' hexagram of the I Ching is The Fellowship of Man. It is a beautiful name, seemingly filled with hope, and it does in fact describe the higher frequencies of this 13' Gene Key. However at the lower frequencies, because of our inability to listen, we go on pursuing our own short-term agendas with disastrous consequences to the greater society. Ironically we find no solace from our own desires either. No matter how many of our desires we sate, more appear. We hear only discord in the world because we are unable to listen to the overall dilemma. We cannot yet see it at a collective level, so we are not ready to find out what the Fellowship of Man really is. This is why we keep programming our future direction (through the 7h shadow) as a future of division. Not listening to the real problem, all our actions create more and more divisions within our societies. Out of all this ancestral memory and our inability to create or find the Fellowship of Man, a huge pessimism emerges at an unconscious leve...
