We have been looking at The Main Central publications that offer great insight into the contents of Text 2.

Issue Number 66, Fall 2009 continues a series of articles about the stages of life in a human being from page 42 of Text 2, authored by Iole Lebensztajn.

Today we will continue with that series:

Stages of Life in a Human Being (Continued)

KIDNEY – 49-56 YEARS OLD PAGE 42, TEXT 2

Know Myself

“The Kidney organ has a seed shape like a bean. It is related to the seeds, potentials and gifts we bring to develop in this lifetime and also the seeds we plant in the heart of each person we are or have been in touch with through how we treat them. Kidney Function Energy is related as well to the seeds we bring from past generations (and/or past lives) and the seeds we will leave for the next generations (and/or next lives). That is a time to contemplate about how I have transformed resources I have received from the past and how I can share these transformed, recycled, even “upcycled” resources to be utilized in the future. I want everybody to upgrade now and also in the future. How can I be a source, a resource, for helping the world to be a happier place to be?

As discussed in the previous article of this series about the Bladder “time”, this is still a period of deep crisis for many of us. Some people start suffering because of fear of death (a Scorpio subject), that many times is caused by not living life in its depth and intensity. In fact, any kind of loss can be very difficult to deal with when the principles related to Kidney Function Energy are not well developed in our lives. Scorpio teaches us that, in truth, one does not lose what is really essential for our soul to grow in awareness, only that which is superficial and superfluous. Remember, this is a Deep Flow! Many times when we give up what is not essential, we will not feel this as a loss. However, when I am attached to it, and life takes it from me, I am likely to feel deprived.

Scorpio is opposite to Taurus (Large Intestine Function Energy – I have). That’s why we need to revisit the qualities brought by Large Intestine when we are 49-56 years old which are Security, Abundance, Generosity and Gratitude for what I have now instead of focusing on what I lost, what was taken or what I was not able to get till now.

As Heart Function Energy is a double fire, Kidney Function Energy is a double water, because Scorpio’s element is water, and 4th Depth is also water. Scorpio has to be with and explore our deep emotion and to be in movement – and in this case we will observe an intense movement inside that not always is perceived from outside.

Kidney Function Energy is the bridge with 6th Depth, our individual Source, the access to the Infinite Self. It is the bridge between form and formless. The more attached to matter I am, the more fear or resistance I will have to cross this bridge, to move through the steps that will take me closest to where I will find my true Self and finally Know Myself.”

Thank you, Iole.

Gassho, Namaste, Blessings
