I agree with you both that integration is the essential point. The most useful part of my post is probably the segment about having 'gaps' in the system. I have seen in myself and others unfortunate results of such 'dead zones of awareness and resonance' manifesting in behavior and health. Listening to the nature of my blind spots (at the least the blind spots that I have awareness of!), it has a lot to do with resolving the fundamental polarity on a personal and lineage level. The tension I feel currently may be related to the Kan and Li process trying to move to the next level which works well on lineage issues. I currently have only studied to the level of lesser Kan and Li, and from what I have been told, the next two formulas target my issues more precisely. Fortunately, it is an organic process that unfolds on its own with persistent, sincere effor unique process. Whatever I learn from this, I upload to the collective as we all develop together interdependently.
Alexander, I have appreciated your input to prior posts and I feel that your comment has insight. One of the problems of the Western schools is approaching from the top-down (I hope that you all know what I mean by this) and being mostly a fire primary path, it can get caught in the mental or in an obsession with 'will.' It can have problems engaging and harmonizing the emotions which can lead to a 'gap' as mentioned above which leads to power plays on the physical and emotional levels. Unfortunately, we see this in our current world situation. The Western paths that are able to bridge this gap into the feeling realms through sincere compassion and an understanding of the great interdependent process can be successful. Each path has its merits, and it's useful to know the strengths and weaknesses of whichever path or skillful means one chooses to employ. The water primary paths have their strengths and weaknesses as well.
I feel that just as we are moving from a patriarchal period with the resurgence of the feminine, we will hopefully find a balance of the polarity rather than seeking a return of the matriarchy (seen a lot of interesting posts about Hilary lately.) Is this Kan and Li on the global level...
Thanks,
Pema
