Gene Key 6
The 6th Gene Key is meta on a few levels.
Its Shadow, Conflict, is present in the energetics of the EVERY Gene Key Shadow.
As humans living in this illusion of separation, we have inherited some programming that prioritizes self-preservation in our early years.
The purpose of this is to keep us alive until we are developed enough to evolve beyond the ego, the defense mechanisms, and the reactive emotions that run the show.
The problem is, most people never evolve beyond the fear-based operating system!
This is where the collective consciousness lives right now.
We can see it everywhere we look: social media, the news, road rage, neighbors that don’t get along, and corporate greed.
Everyone is looking out for themselves.
This defense-based way of living means that we’re so practiced at PROTECTING ourselves from everything that might do us harm that we’ve closed off our hearts.
We’re lacking intimacy, we’re terrified of being vulnerable, and we’re so afraid that someone or something might hurt us or take something from us that we are extremely unpracticed at regulating our emotions.
When other people and situations trigger us and make us uncomfortable, we create distance and set boundaries that divide us.
We blame our inability to process and respond with emotional intelligence on anything but ourselves.
It’s not our fault, really.
Our entire society is set up this way.
Taking responsibility is not modeled for us at all!
I hypothesize that the overwhelming majority of adults are running on the same operating system, defense mechanisms, perspectives of the world, and emotional patterns that they had when they were 7 years old…without any awareness that this is the case!
The glorious part, though, is that the triggers and conflicts that have us react, hide, fight, protect, and close our hearts also create the kindling for some of our most important work in this lifetime: to discover the inner conflict behind our reaction (what we’re afraid of underneath it all) and then embrace the shit out of that until we turn the lead into gold.
This is transformational, alchemical work.
Unearthing and embracing the glittering diamonds within our shadows that we have created through the pressure of hiding, suppressing, and ignoring, them for so long.
What emerges from this particular Shadow of Conflict is the Gift of Diplomacy.
When we begin to regulate our emotions and consciously choose how we respond to life, we create space inside of ourselves and in our relationships.
Inside this space, alchemy can take place.
We take responsibility for how we show up.
We drop our defenses and become vulnerable once again, which is where true strength lives!
We feel comfortable inside of conflict because we have cultivated inner peace.
And we behave differently inside of the oh-so-familiar relationship dynamics and patterns that once sent us for a spin…which allows OTHER people to respond differently.
We can wield the Gift of Diplomacy, which opens the door for more light to enter our bodies — for a state of PEACE to evolve our cells.
When we have more space, more choice, and more responsibility for how we respond, we can literally BE the change we wish to create in our lives, in our relationships, in our communities and workplaces, and in the world.
Peace is a state of being that requires embodiment.
When we embody the divine gift of Peace, it radiates from us.
“Every human being is emotionally vulnerable until we drop our protective defenses. The defenses form around our heart, and as long as our hearts remain defended and closed, they can’t heal.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways
