So I've been out on a journey, sharpening my blade, my wits, and my typing fingers (do we still call it typing? keyboarding? snowboarding? jean - read your blog about distractions dude!)
Sharpening up to deliver the blow. And if you have expectations right now, you might want to drop those cuz it may not be that big of a blow after all.
In the Nov 18 blog, I alluded to fairy tales, root vegetables, ok - roots - vegetable not specified, but possible, natural disasters (which pair perfectly with roots if you look at my hair right now!), and money. Here it is - draw your sword o Dragon!
When we talk about survival in our culture, what does it really boil down to? Money. Do I have enough money to live? If I don't have enough money to live, then I will die. This keeps us in jobs we don't like, gives us an excuse to behave in certain ways - i.e. - i have to put my job first, otherwise I will die, etc… And if we are "poor," living hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck, or not even having a paycheck, our biggest concern is getting what we need to stay alive one more day.
Let's just say we are a in a family that's "poor." We have a built in pet - a dragon, a demon, something to blame, something to live for, something to band together to fight. Just like when tsunamis and hurricanes hit, we have a "reason" to forget who we think we are for a moment, and fight the dragon, the demon, the evil that hurt my fellow people. But what happens once we slay the dragon?
Once we slay the family pet, the dragon, and my family has more than enough money, towns are rebuilt and thriving, we are no longer fighting for survival. We are no longer stuck in the root chakra. We no longer live in constant fear of our lives. Now we can sit up and take a breath and start being who we think we are. Happily ever after? Let's look at fairy tale...
Take that family that was working together to survive. Now they have the trips, the cars, the time. Have you heard this comment "We were so happy when we were poor? Money has ruined everything!" (only people with money will say that btw). Money ruined nothing. It eliminated your excuse to stay in your root chakra and make fear based decisions. Now that death is off the table (not exactly true, but for now, let's just run with that), we are left ourselves, sans dragon. And we are left with the person who was fighting next to you. What if your relationship only works when you are fighting a demon? What if when you move out of fear to the next level, you have nothing to talk about? What if now that you know you will live to see another day, you start acting like yourself - warts and all, and that pushes your partner's buttons to high heaven and vice versa? What if you are appalled at their behavior and choices, now that they actually have a choice (since before it was life or death, and that's off the table)?
Now the Dragon, the devil, the demon, is no longer outside of ourselves, and we are faced with the dragon inside of ourselves. So this "we were happy when we had no money" just means that fear kept us ignorant. And ignorance is bliss. And in the end, and the beginning, we have the choice to stay stuck on the Dragons outside of ourselves, or we can slay that beast, and then turn our attention inward and start getting to know the Dragons within. And this is where the real war begins.
