3 Ik
Ox'ib Iik. The expansion.
As we grow, we become more cunning and learn to arrange our lives and avoid conflicts and problems. But the spirit is even more cunning. It will always find a way to make us uncomfortable, to make us angry, to create a problem, a disorder, a conflict and to push our tolerance to its limits.
We live in an expanding universe. It is our own will, and that of the universe, to grow, to expand, to become more intelligent, wise, strong and rich. You cannot grow without shedding old skin, without getting rid of clothes that no longer fit you, without maturing from those childish intolerances and neuroses that, if we do not expand them by our own will, the universe will find a way to do it for us (and if we do not learn this way, it will repeat the lesson, with more violence).
That is the nawal, the intelligence that lives beyond your rationality and attention, which is bigger than you think you are. We can try to live avoiding it, or we can be ready for it. Understanding that we must be much bigger, that our soul wants to be much more loving and strong to be agitated and succumb to trivialities. Be careful what you choose, the wind can be gentle for those who enjoy it, and violent for those who avoid it.
