The Sun and the Shadow

Welcome to the year of the Sun! Our leading star of this year surprised us with some events that, honestly, those who did not expect a big turn were living in a parallel world, a world inhabited by individual issues, regardless of which ones, that do not allow you to perceive the universal context to which you make part.

As we all know, the Sun illuminates, warms, exposes everything that is hidden, whether due to lack of attention, neglect, denial or any other motivation that does not really want to look at what you have. Then, our star king arrives and unveils, even if you don't want to, since it is no longer your choice, as it is the energy he provides in a collective sense of regency. In the individual sense it is our personal power, our Manipura, the third chakra, what we have internally as empowerment, qualities, essence, strength and vitality, and the more aligned you are, the greater your power of action and fulfillment.

We see ourselves in a crucial current scenario to understand that we need to look at ourselves, at our essence and collectivity in order to be able to face the universe that we will have outside when all this is over. One of the hermetic laws that govern our reality on the planet, is the reading of the correspondence that says: “what is above, is like what is below. What is inside is like what is outside ”, that is, conscious and unconscious, inside and outside in constant exchange, and I already tell you where the manifestation of Tantra enters this historical chapter in our lives.

Before expanding on this issue bringing more depth, I want to bring up a vision about the symbolism of Corona and all the viruses that somehow inhabit our environment, integrating a biological understanding of what this Covid is about and our current moment in the touching the shadows of humanity, now revealed under the auspices of the Sun as ruler of the year, bringing us an opportunity for universal mutation.

Biologically, a virus translates into a molecular structure, which interacts with the life of a cell, that is, it does not even have life, however, in contact with cell life, it has an immense capacity for self-replication, producing copies of himself, acquiring space, reproducing himself, after all, this is his functional programming.

As for the shadows of humanity, or even their shadows, they come with a program to replicate something that is only ours, a mirror, even part of a structure that is both individual and collective, we walk and when we conduct ourselves, we also conduct our shadows, inherent to our nature.

Illustrating the issue that we are now experiencing worldwide, that is, our collective shadow, which is consistent with the behavior of this virus is very similar to what we experience in our economic system of world production, above life, above a process of I guard in quarantine, above any form of government or improvements in recovering what it uses to expand, taking over the resources of nature and spreading, taking everything in availability and expanding to the maximum. A system as invasive as the virus's own behavior, which feeds back very effectively.

Until ... something much bigger than our established systems, it was stopped by nature itself imposing its limits with its own resources. We were invited to stop, go to our homes, our deepest interior, to rethink our lives, our attitudes, our own shadows and failures in perception of what we are, of what we were feeding as a collective, showing a lagged, saturated, sick system . A global phenomenon that invites us to rethink our attitudes as individuals.

We have so damaged the environment and our neighbors that we have been forced to retreat, and when we return to the outside world, it will no longer be like when we imprison ourselves inside our homes. Now it remains to be seen whether this time of reflection and living with us and / or with whom we share this intimate environment, will impel us to live the same way, without an ounce of awareness of our own shadows and not maintaining our own projections, or if we will seek better resources at the expense of the self and automatically us.

In these last years of your life, how much you have explored your friends, family and similar ones, your health, your body, your sexual and emotional energy, your resources, in benefit of a survival factor, generating accumulation or even having your desires satisfied. , often at the expense of going over the other, not revealing their true intention?

Individualism, consumerism, envy, anger, manipulation, lying, all of this will be put in check in this isolation, with yourself and those closest to you. What do you really need to (over) live better after that brake? What makes you worth being human and what makes you worth human life? The time has come to awaken, at least in some part of yourself, so that on the whole there will be an effect of something more consistent than the great failure that we live supporting us as a fertile and firm soil. Fell apart. His mask fell, our mask fell, we were revealed in daylight, under the sun, casting our shadows under the asphalt. But it is worth remembering that this shadow is not our totality. We are a complex system, as a collective and as our individuality.

Invited to contribute with more awareness, more value to everything around us, from our relationships to what we consume, be it food or news in a day, be it the sun, a stream, a tree, a hug, a walk or conversation and everything which is in fact essential to us as humans. Nature out there is recovering from a big wound. Rivers clearing, the sky clearing, animals taking up space, plants growing, and you, where are you expanding in this movement? Returning to your personal power? To your inner sun?

Tantra being a series of behavioral teachings and philosophies, in addition to the internal resources available that we all have inherent in our lives and a matriarchal system, which is not different from the planetary system itself, which generates and nourishes, a female body that shelters us, being that we experience our humanity through the coming to the physical body by a woman, we are being invited, more than ever, to integrate our systems, outside and inside, inside her. Out of a female body and we inhabit another.

What motivates you to relationships, and your actions? And how do you treat yourself and consequently treat the other? What is allowed or seen and is allowed passively? What is your active contribution to yourself and the other? What is learned today with traces of pain, in fact, has a great love involved, so that it arises intrinsically to the period, its own conscience that is invited from inside to outside to act in an external world. But before that, it needs to be experienced internally to the point of becoming its truth, its power, its sun. Welcome to the new world, new being. The greatest act of love for a woman is to give birth, and this is accompanied by immense pain, the same that you will have to face when facing the discomfort of your own shadows, but that will be necessary when opening your eyes and seeing that the whole universe hopes for great growth in co-creation, no more exploration, including yourself.

This is how Tantra generates changes for you, bringing your truth, transforming it into power, and generating valid resources to deal with everything that is yours, consequently, everything that is ours.
