With everything that is going on in the world, my deepest desire is to shout my truth from the rooftops and hope that as many people as possible listen and gain something from it. I also know that this same kind of view has, at times, made me a cold person who is unwilling to hear certain perspectives. What to do?
There are a lot of people in my life that I love. Almost too many to count. But it becomes clearer by the day that out lives are taking much different paths, and so I must ask the question to myself: At what point does the difference become too much to bear? Who is actually receptive to the heresy I want to bring the world. (As if I have figured out what my heresy even IS! Lol. Anyways…Ask yourself this as well)
Breaking Points
Depending on your design, breaking points might differ. But the basic contemplation stays the same in my opinion: At what point does an interaction turn from constructiveness, where both parties are similar enough to not have too many differences that make conversation impossible but also have enough differences that both can gain, to simple chaos due to the differences.
The first point I wish to make is that there is a basic saying that I have often lived by: Any interaction can be good, it is a matter of attitude. In a way, that is true. We want to remove our resistances to create the best possible outcome from any situation we find ourselves in. However, when it comes to the people that you interact with, I believe you must also be honest with yourself in what you are surrounding yourself with. Don’t let the projections of society and others determine what is good for your environment.
To be honest, I have a lot of work to do there. China Brooks made a point about 5th line relationships recently in a video series with her friend Christy Luckart (I apologize but I don’t have the exact quote). She said that 5th lines need people around them who are 100 percent aligned because even slight dissonance can wreak havoc (like a friend you only chill with but doesn’t support you in other ways).
My problem, and I imagine the problem of many other 5th lines (heretic) in human design, is that I am drawn to share my heresy with everyone and help them. In the past, this has made me loved by many. However, as I continue to evolve, their projections no longer match and I get burned at the stake for it. The thing is, I am constantly drawn to sharing. There are people that are very receptive to these message and that keeps me going. Thank you to them. I won’t stop sharing. However, the message needs to reach the right ears.
It’s Hard in Today’s World
Everyone has an opinion in today’s world. I don’t want to knock anyone’s opinion. But that doesn’t mean I won’t stand in my own truth; it just needs to come from a place of love and not negativity.
So to get the the meat of this article’s title: What to change, and who to change. They are pretty much two sides of the same coin. What to change is the people you surround yourself with, so that they are positively receptive and will also send you things to receive. Who to change is those people that will actually benefit from what you put out. Then you get something back!
There are literally billions of people either asleep or hypnotized, depending on how you look at it. I prefer to say hypnotized. What we must come to terms with is that sometimes, even if someone is your brother, sister, best friend, mom, dad, etc., people are asleep and it isn’t worth all of your effort to try and save them. Doesn’t mean cut them out, necessarily. But if you are viewing them as more important than someone who actually would be receptive, maybe there is a problem there.
Yes, I do believe myself and others I listen to and associate with have answers that can save a lot of people. Not all will choose to step outside what I see as a control grid. I want people to be saved that want to save themselves, maybe with a little bit of help from yours truly and others.
Your Truth
As 5th lines I think that we must be careful to maintain a space not contaminated by negativity. Negativity will make our sharing of heresy negative as well, and people will feel you are forcing upon them instead of giving to them. That is my ultimate wish. I want people to listen and to feel inspired, safe, beautiful, sexy, etc.
Those are the people I want to share with! To aid them in a journey which is similar to mine. To grow together, knowing that our individuality can also unite us. This is stronger than ever. In a way, COVID was a blessing. It is making like-minded people come together and that is strong. Really strong. But to take full advantage of that, we need to release old patterns and people. Otherwise, we are half-in-half-out. And as Yoda says: “Do or do not; there is no try.”
