Make yourself invisible. Don the cloak of Invisibility. Even the smallest selfless acts are magical acts. Go out into the world and make a difference. Make this lifetime really matter.” ~ The 64 Ways

This Gene Key therefore has a great deal to do with the proper and harmonious use of volition. And depending on how wisely that power is used, one will either feel rewarded or punished.

Shadow of Pride: Dilemma of Lack

Lack is the problem facing the shadow of pride. Lack is fundamentally a "whole-world" perspective that rejects abundance or the light side. At a deep unconscious level, we are in survival mode if we think there are never enough resources to go around.

This emptiness, this ingrained, ancestor-driven worry of not having enough, will always be present in life.

* Where are you living from a sense of lack?

Think about everything, including your relationships, finances, career, and diet. Ask yourself: Where am I fooling myself? What simple act of kindness may I perform for someone else today?

* Will you be remembered as a giver, or a taker by Cosmic Intelligence?

Consider your highest potential: Know that you can do anything you put your heart, mind and will towards.

*Ask: What is my greatest Gift of Artfulness? How can I use it to make a positive and lasting difference for this world?

* Breathe the breath of the Buddha into your heart.

See yourself as a god. Let your light shine out into the aeons, influencing the past and the future. Become the magus. The magus is an archetype who spans the past and the future. He or she is beyond time and space, beyond past and future. The magus is eternal, and omnipresent. The magus is within each of us, invisible, waiting, always waiting
