As I read what I wrote a couple days ago, I see I ended it with commenting on “learning who we are.” This has been one of the consistent themes in my life for at least 15 years. It is one that I bring focus to, and then life moves on to something else, and then it comes back around again. When I first became aware of it, put words to it, I was in a new space in my life. I knew that I would be having experiences and I knew I would not be the same person afterwards. I decided to write while I went through the experiences. It was the journey that was important. Yes, there would be, and there were results. Things happened. But I knew I did not wish to share only in hindsight.
There have been iterations after that. It has evolved. I remember checking in several times and finding my website heading continued to grow with me “Awakening to Who We Are.” Admittedly, when I first created that, I believed it was more of a one-off. I would go through this adventure that I was on and I would know me. As with so many things in my life, I keep learning that “it” is infinite, endless.
Fairly recently, but still back when I had the outlet of Moments with Marybeth, it became very clear that to create the level of community that I see is possible or probable, it is required that we each step into our uniqueness and that we know who we are. “Know Thyself” is not a new concept. But the way or ways in which we can embody that, land that, work with that, can most definitely feel new. This landing as a requirement was new to me. Yet in some ways, I had been teaching for some time the importance of showing up to every relationship, to every group we joined, as ourselves. Show up to be us and see what happens. What opens? What is possible? Stop showing up to try to fit in. Stop showing up just to see what is in the relationship or the group. It all changes when you put you in, and only you can add that ingredient.
I see as I say that one of my own structures of experimentation. For some of you, how this opens will not necessarily feel like an experiment. You will have a different texture or flavor to add to the creation.
Because of seeing this as a requirement for where we are going as humanity, I have started to teach three modalities that are blueprints of who we are. I find myself dreaming in the language, the concepts, and the geometry of each of them. I still know that I am the Book of Life. No, I don’t know exactly what I mean by that. Maybe I know that modality is mine as in I have created it. Maybe I have just worked with it before. There are stories around that, experiences I have had where I know it is significant to me. That took several go-arounds before I really stayed with it.
And, in my experience and knowing, it has a veil around it yet. It is not fully usable or cohesive. Don’t get me wrong, I use it often. This modality is one of the reasons I call myself a writer. It speaks it clearly. There are pieces we can pick up and rely on from this, in knowing ourselves, but I am aware there is or will be so much more. I started to follow the mathematics behind it at one point. I may need a greater understanding at that level before I can see next pieces. There is no hurry. And currently, my focus is elsewhere.
For those who are not aware of what the Book of Life is and want to know more. It has many names. It has many authors. The International Association of Cardology has a website with a lot of information to give a background and authors to explore. Yes, much can be said here. But that is enough.
My focus has turned to Human Design. It is another one of those things that has had to find it’s way in really. There were a lot of starts and stops over about a decade. But I have found my way in now. I am starting to teach it. I am curious what more will open from this. This is a space I will be sharing more from as I keep seeing more in here, about me and about humanity and about where we are positioned right now. It is something I am exploring, so there will be more about that soon, maybe next time we connect.
I hold much appreciation for the responses I have received, whether they are verbal to me or just you taking the time to sit with me as you read this and allow the energy to move through you. I look forward to more. Thank you for being you and for being a part of my current journey.
With love,
Marybeth
