This December (1+2=3) is a month of contradictions.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the wintertime brings the qualities of introspection, going back to the earth, looking for the warmth of the inner fire and that of the family. However, there are also decisions to be taken, doubts about what is going to happen next year, incertitude.
We are beings of habits and tend to repeat the known path. When we face a challenge, we look for the old parameters that can help us to re-establish the balance lost.
This had been one of the many ways the humanity had always advanced, learning from the past. But today it has become a limitation. We are required to use our intuition, let it go, adapt to change. Meanwhile, the information is overwhelming and contradictory.
Some of us want to follow someone who knows but instead of digging and find the right information for us, we look for that pre-made information that fits our already-made filters. We look for confirmations in order not to change anything and keep hoping that we will be safe! We use our Prana to feed our blocks, beliefs, limitations.
The number 3, devil or divine, is showing up in its both forms. The extremes and exaggerations increase. The identity, the doubt, the choice – these are the themes that occupy our minds.
We often forget that the calmest place is in the eye of the cyclone, and that is inside of us.
By pondering it well, there is nothing to do or change, except holding on the increasing tension. This is not different from what we do during a Kundalini Yoga kriya. We hold and contemplate the tension of a challenging posture until there is a shift and the borders of our physical, emotional, and mental bodies expand, making room for new perceptions that simply happen, without us even knowing how.
We do not need to “know” the way. We just need to feel the tension and not give in to our fears that tempt us to look for quick-fixes and short-term solutions.
And this is the devil part of the 3 – the short-term solution that does not consider the karmic future load. It is just a temporary relief to the pressure we could not hold.
A finger hurts?… We could cut it! We all know this is wrong and of course we would not do it because the physical body brings us right back to the present through the possible pain this would cause.
Yet we often do something very similar when we give in to our fears and discomfort and go for short-term solutions. We go for the illusion, we blind ourselves, we irrationally hope that “it will work”, we bath in the temporary relief and refuse to think further of the consequences. And when the consequences come, the 3 might keep working in favor of our temporary relief, giving us reasons why this choice was unavoidable and looking around for confirmations that we did the right thing!
The teachings always carry a paradox, and so do numbers. The same formula this month, 1+2=3, could be used to go back within, re-discover the relation that was never lost, and find the joy of the connection with the permanent principle that tirelessly pours down the ever-changing and multi-facetted creation of which we are all part.
