I just had our weekly food supplies delivered by a jolly driver. We talked about how we are keeping during such crazy times and given that I don’t watch or read news, I learned that the ‘crazy times’ are still all about covid and keeping safe and also how we are sadly ruining the planet. There was mention of the fact that children don’t climbs trees the way he used to as a kid, certainly not his teenage son, and maybe it’s part of the problem.
I hardly said a word all this time, simply listened and smiled noticing how detached I feel from all this, although it was lovely to be complimented as ‘one of the nicest customers' whom he enjoys meeting. Of course I don’t expect to become bosom friends with anyone who is nice and who thinks I am nice. But it was a reminder of how rare it is to connect with others - truly.
Most social interactions are superficial, which of course makes sense. We are still organised by the tribal bargain and so we are mostly friendly, sometimes even showing real sympathy and the willingness to support in times of trouble. However, anyone starting on their human design journey learns how vulnerable their social bonds become in the face of honest inner authority.
Most of all - there is a sense of aloneness. Not many people can ‘get’ human design in practice. But social loss can bring a secret gain, which is finding out over time what is true for us, and letting life do the rest.
Aloneness starts with the truth of who belongs in our life and the frequency of connecting with them on various levels. Also, the truth of where our place is and when it’s correct for us to act or to interact. Food intake and environment are the attunement tools, while view and motivation reflect the zigzag movement of awareness within the journey. Each step is revelatory by highlighting layers of our differentiating nature.
Funny to see that the moon is presently in gate 61.3 Interdependence - It is exceedingly difficult for truth to stand alone. It’s a wonderful experience to be able to share personal revelations with the right people, but it’s also fun to have a fleeting social chat with a stranger who simply happens to show up as part of life’s daily surprises.
You may feel alone in your experiment, but you are never alone when you can live you right here and now.
