Quite a funny day... Finishing with the taking on of the phoenix archetype. Im in the office, finishing a coaching call when the staff of the company who share the building run out yelling that their lab was on fire, spreading and threatening their warehouse of [prone to exploding] chemicals... After being assured that everyone was accounted for, all I could do was look from across the street at the billowing smoke, considering the inevitable incineration of the office that houses the business that is an extension of myself. There was a primary experiencing of the understandable reaction via attachment to the memories, stock, capital etc. that would be lost, however in that following moment I became eerily present to that fire; the neutral and majestic energy that it represents in our world, and the consistent opportunity it offers for regeneration, renewal and evolution if you are willing to look beyond the veil of heat, destruction and generally perceived badness. In these moments I learn a lot about business and preparedness... However this is not what this post is addressing; this post goes deeper... It was not that I didnt care, and it was not an attempt to swallow the rising emotions, but in that moment I truly felt the reality of the metaphorical phoenix that lives within me; a presence that not only accepts the fire, but wills it as an opportunity to emerge cleaner, clearer and lighter than ever. It was one of my true experiences of the phenomena that is acceptance and unconditional gratitude; free from circumstantial dictatorship. Sirens wailed, people yelled and water was sprayed in a heroic and clinical attempt of containing that which just taught me one of my greatest lessons. Miraculously (according to myself and the detective I reflected with post flame on!) the fire was eventually contained before penetrating the medicinal fortress that is SuperFeast; leaving me raw, schooled and humbled by the experience I had, despite not seeing the unfolding of that vision which spurred on one of the most spiritual moments of my life. Life is never boring, and even in the moments of destruction I am grateful for the aliveness that pulsates through my body, offering sweet blessings and opportunity for the distinction of letting go and spawning a new. Like I said, I learnt a lot today, and despite still having my physical business in tact, I got something. That something is now embraced by my constantly upgrading cellular structure, and shall be a part of me forever. I am grateful, that is all.
