Recently I was reminded of the image of a Phoenix by my friend
.I’m passionate about human change and transformation and seeing Eyal’s reference to the Phoenix prompted an idea in my head.
The ability to come out of the ashes and start anew, to be reborn, is a gift. One we can put into practice, regardless of its regularity.
Some may look at it as a daily process. Others may save it for the moments that come after big hardships.
Nevertheless, the promises of new beginnings are always alluring. However, a certain danger lurks within this possibility.
If we’re not careful, we’re being rebirth into a new loop, a new story following the same structure as the previous one.
To actually embody a Phoenix, one has to be worthy, ready for an deeper change. Otherwise, the illusion of rebirth takes place, not the act itself.
As I contemplate my life in this past year, while also looking at 2023, I ask myself:
Am I worthy of a reborn?
Am I ready to, once again, go deeper within? To create change?
I’ll be traveling back, to a place I once inhabited, a known destination. Yet, the path is different. And even though I’m returning, just like in the Hero’s Journey, I’m doing so with a different worldview.
Am I worthy of taking the first step in this journey?
Not yet. Not today. But soon.
First, I’ll need to let go of some of my own comfortable ideas and habits.
I’ll need to revisit my code of conduct and change whatever needs changing in order to embody a Phoenix.
Join me, if you want.
Take these next few days to understand exactly what you need to let go of in order to embrace this path.
Then, we shall walk.
Sometimes together, other times alone.
With joy, strength and faith within us.
With despair, weakness and fear within us.
But this time, we’ll keep walking, no matter what.
Because this time, we will be worthy of embodying this rebirth.
Because this time, we will be in touch with Métis, seeking wisdom in our actions.
Just yesterday I was whatching Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets and I saw a Phoenix dying and rebirthing, never gave importance to that moment in the movie after many times of whatching it, but yesterday it got my silent attention.
As if somehow life was showing how everything is connected, my simple attention on detail to your inspiration!
I cannot understantd neither put it in words how much this "rebirth" resonates with me!
Life is pushing me to a new start which leads to a methaphorical death, I see many things changing my relations, my attitude towards life, work, my body, my habits!
Also, at this point I might seem like a stalker but trust me ,I'm not!
Your inspiration really touches me, and I can't stop my self on showing that through a like or by comenting. I don't even beleive that I should think of stoping myself on showing anything.
You are worthy of feedback!
I've really been enjoying reading you!
Other thing, I am curious, what do you mean by being worthy of rebirth?
