Just Know It

Week 3 is gone... almost, we step into an epic studio looking over the heart of Hong Kong's central district every Saturday Morning @ 9:30am for a three hour practice named appropriately "Wild Lotus"; P makes yogic art, mixing music, with asana combo, love and challenge, in a nurturing way that will disassemble you, without force or ego, and with enough empathy that you can walkaway on your own to put the pieces together, as new. This marks the end of a cycle that leads into the end of an other cycle, as the fourth and final week of this training starts Monday @ 7am, the layers build as the onion peels.
My teacher has pointed out the importance of finishing a cycle strongly, and as much as this time in HK is the beginning of the rest of my life...and that it is, this I "Just Know". My heart is letting go of how it was, now it's not like I've grown a white beard and seen the burning bush...although just writing that is a quick realization that all the Hanumans', Ganeshas', and even Jesus Christs' have little on Moses as far as archetypes go in my life thus far, leading a people out of slavery and into their auspicious age, how appropriate for a boy aligning into his manhood, not without much struggle, but even Moses didn't make it to the land of milk and honey, and new leaders had to rise to the occasion, make what you want out of that analogy, but Transformation comes in segments, directions are followed, only to have their outcome unexpectedly create new leaders or passions.
Voices arise, teachers fall upon us in the most unexpected ways, (especially when we are listening, and to listen is the truest skill to have) and like source turned Moses from spoiled prince to filling him with purpose as Martyr of a nation, it did so in many manifestations, from direct clear transmission of power and course to presentation of challenges that took Moses from the firsthand recipient of the holy grail, to the causality of his own cause....and with all that said comes the reminder that we are all mere conduits for the teachings, that empower us and those around us.
When broken down it's like this, whether it's a friend laking truth in their actions/speech, whether it's in Vancouver, Hong Kong, or Toronto, whether it's unnerving, or unresolved, to complete the cycle with integrity, LISTEN...all the way through. It may be a sign to move away from the fire or it may be a suggestion to persevere until there's a parting of the sea, whichever it is only listening will reveal it and only that allowance to listen to that which one needs to hear will give you the power to "Just Know"
peace
