Fruit of Life

12_Fruit of Life - Throat

The clockwork nature of time is held in the throat chakra. This story is revealed in the geometry of the fruit of life matrix by adding a ring of 18 and 24 circles to the flower of life. 

The first ring of 18 circles represents an 18-year Saros cycle, when the Sun, Moon and Earth return to the same relative location to repeat a solar or lunar eclipse. This cycle helped ancient astronomers predict the time and location of the Sun and Moon as they began to measure time and space. A Sar is the 9-year period between a lunar and solar eclipse.

The second ring of 24 circles represents the 24-hours in one-day, or one rotation of earth on its axis. A day is defined by 2, 12-hour periods: AM (ante meridiem) and PM (post meridiem).

By adding these rings of 18 and 24 circles with the 19 circles in the flower of life, a total of 60 interlocking circles surrounds the central “one”. This correlates to 60-minutes in “one” hour and 60-seconds in “one” minute.

The actual fruit of life pattern is revealed by focusing on the 13-independent circles within the 61 circles. Together these 13 circles represent a 13-week cycle, which is the approximate number of weeks within the four seasons of: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. When you multiply 13-weeks by 4-seasons it equates to a 52-week year.

The sacred geometry within the fruit of life inspired the creation of calendars and clocks, which brought order into everyday life. As farming communities grew, temple towns were created and the nature of time was known only by temple priests and priestess as a way to control the people and enforce laws. As patriarchy grew, men associated themselves with the solar world of the sun, as “keepers of the seed”. Women were associated with the lunar world of the moon, as “keepers of the mystery”. The fruit of life reveals the wisdom of time.

Time is relative to how we perceive it. Some see it as an illusion, or as a mathematical construct. Others believe it to be proof of divine order. In reality time is timeless. Earth spins on its axis as it orbits the Sun every 365.25 days. The Moon is revealed by the Sun’s light as it orbits Earth every 29.5 days. Earth’s tilted axis determines the days when the seasons begin and end.

Message: It is time to rethink and reset as we prepare for change. Become aware of our surroundings and identify what needs to shift in order to move forward. We are encouraged to share our stories with others as we shift into this new reality.

Collective Unconscious

Fruit of Life

The throat chakra carries the energy of the collective unconscious through the sharing of stories and memories across cultures and generations. These cross-cultural stories were based on human experiences that formed universal patterns within the psyche (self and soul). Carl Jung saw these patterns as archetypes that were manifested through dreams and behaviors that informed the myths that haunt us. 

These archetypal patterns have influenced science, art, religion and as well as our moral compass. It unconsciously informs our conscious and collective mind, which impacts societal shifts in human behavior and how we see the world. The power of myth and story is pervasive in our lives. 

These stories held within our collective unconscious were passed on through generations of storytellers, which held the archetypal wounds of being male and female. We perpetuate these unhealed stories of our humanness whenever we share or collude with the patterns they created. 

By shedding light on these old stories, we can begin to see them for what they are, old wounded stories that no longer serve us. This allows us to rewrite and retell these stories in a way that can help us heal those old patterns of behavior. 

The goal is to awaken the collective unconscious by becoming conscious of our stories and the choices we make. By shifting these unhealed patterns through our actions and stories we can begin to heal our self and our world.

Message: It is time for us to reclaim the wisdom that is within us by taking another look at the old stories of our life and rethinking how we want to react and share them. This will help us to speak our truth from a place of peaceful power. Words spoken with love and wisdom are the most powerful gifts we can give to our self and our world. 

“The collective unconscious – so far as we can say anything about it at all – appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious” – Carl Jung
