It is always exciting to open a new chapter of a captivating book, a mix of expectations and fears about what will happen next. You might have an idea, an intuition on what will follow but still, only the writer knows. Surrendering to the story is relaxing, even in most tense moments.
Briefly about 2022.
The total 2+0+2+2 makes 6.
We have 3 times 2.
The last 2 digits 2+2=4.
2*2*2=8.
In the story of the Sikh Dharma, moving from the 5th Guru, Guru Arjan, to the 6th Guru, Guru Hargobind, was a big shift and an important transition for the community. Guru Arjan was tortured for 5 days by order of the Muslim Emperor because he did not want to change a word in the scripture. He faced these atrocities with grace and a smile, dying with dignity and uncompromised. Touched by his courage and attitude, the community realized that they had something precious to preserve and defend. When Guru Hargobind became Guru, he took 2 swords and proclaimed that he will defend the integrity of the community!
The number 6 is our integrity, it is based on our sensitivity (4) and our intuition.
The three 2s remind us that integrity is not possible if we have unconscious fears since they will call for unconscious strategies. We will avoid what brings fear and go for what brings us temporary peace of mind (pleasure). Once we divide the world into two categories, integrity is lost.
6 is beyond the duality (2) of an opinion. Being for or against is possible only when we obey a reference outside of us and when we have an enemy, an opposition that plays the other polarity. Guru Hargobind was not against anybody; he had no enemies.
These three 2s remind us that our 3 centers (material, emotional, and mental) need to be aligned to support our integrity. 2 represents the choice and we need to make choices about how we want to live, about our deep needs, and check if these choices are aligned with our values, with our hearts (4).
On Communication
„An expert is a person who knows more and more about less and less, until they know everything about nothing. “
Max Weber
This quote can help us to transition from 2021 to 2022.
2021 was a year of immense amounts of information, overwhelming and contradictory, often based on assumptions that were already deviating from primitive simplicity and common sense. December (3) coupled with the 5 of the year (2+0+2+1) brought this reality significantly to the foreground. The question was “What if the assumption is wrong?”
After this spiraling out and increased tension of the last month, January (1) reminds us to come back to ourselves and to ask us the question “Is this true?”; “Is what we hear based on a reality that I can confirm through my perception and experience?”.
The answer comes from the quality of the year to come, a quality related to the heart space.
The “2”, the doubt, is dissolved when it melts with the other half, another 2, resolving the duality in the heart made by the two 2 mirroring each other.
So “22” makes a 4, and 2022 makes it a 6. Both are in the axis 4/6 together; let’s see how to use the quality of the heart space and its balance to serve our higher vision and “know” what is fair or unfair for us; what is nourishing us and what must be rejected. Our thoughts are the first step to our communication. The first step to reach the heart is to go back to “1”. However, if we go back mentally and automatically, without feeling, we risk recreating the past or wish again that things go back to “normal” … This is the time to ask ourselves what we have considered to be “normal” and if we have been brought to believe that this is really the only way for us to live and act?
JANUARY 2022
January (1) in that context of 2022 is very much connected to our verticality, our spine!
Our spine reflects the integration of our masculine energy, Shiva.
Our verticality/spine is our power, our projection, our vision, but the strength of our spine relies on its FLEXIBILITY! True integrity is constantly in movement. An unmovable fixpoint is a belief, temporal and limited. It does not adapt and results in fanaticism!
On the other hand when the spine collapses and curves, we become a victim (2), and we justify this by beliefs and opinions.
The spine is the center of the universe. The universe is endless, forever expanding.
Our ability to experience the universe is our spine and all its nerves.
The full potential of our life depends on how the energy flows along our spine.
January 2022 (1+2+0+2+2) makes 7, the Aura, what it filters and keeps, the energetic body that has the capacity to uplift us and others when properly used.
There is a lot of encouragement to take a stance and courageously regain possession of our lives in this beginning of 2022.
The condition to be able to do this is SILENCE. We do not always need to have our opinion, let alone share it. Nobody is listening anyway! Do not be a part of the chaos!
Imagine a tremendous increase in noise and vibration of an event, like a rocket burning and losing its pieces going through the atmosphere, or as a stone falling faster and faster. There is a moment when the impact with the earth or outer space happens, and silence sets in as the movement is still happenning and contained in the event.
To hold on to that “silent” noise is our chance to use the qualities brought by January at their highest potential.
