The cosmos respects risk.
All life forms, when aiming to unlock full potential, must take a risk at some point along their evolutionary path.
A flower opens itself to the sky, a baby bird spreads its wings leaping forth into the unknown, risk is a paramount element to the cultivation of passion.
Those who move in slow motion, who bask and bathe in stagnation, reorient the energy field they carry. Instead of existing as a catapulting mechanism, a field of spiralized motion that works to propel the soul forward on its evolutionary path, the field becomes a weakened net of density.
Energy that doesn't open itself up to risk, forgets the fundamental requirement for life itself is to sometimes take leaps into the unknown.
We sway from risk because risk is correlated with vulnerability, and vulnerability is linked with past traumas. Unresolved pain carries the tone that vulnerability is dangerous, when in fact it is not vulnerability that is dangerous, but people who took advantage of the vulnerable.
Do not allow those who preyed upon your vulnerability to make you believe that opening your heart is somehow the passageway to destruction.
And do not take risks of the ego. Risks that entail naivete and parasitism. Opening your heart to a predator just because they said you are their twin flame. Casting your soul into a net of confusion and misdirection because you're trying to fit in with a misguided society, or a version of livelihood that is completely irrelevant to your heart.
These are not genuine risks, these are genuine attempts to fit in. The two could not be more different.
A healthy risk, a risk of the heart, must actually follow the heart, not defy it. Raise your arms up and inhale the breeze that swirls around you, let the higher intelligence that blooms within your mind guide you, and when the timing is right, drop into an abyss of uncertainty.
Fly as an eagle surrenders to the sky. Move as a panther sets its paws into the flesh of the earth. Invite the cosmos into your heart by willing your heart to open as all true life forms do.
Risk intersects with purpose, as no hero's journey is complete without the suspense of a great fall, as your body fades into the darkness of night and the cosmos catches you a split second before you reach the ground.
Risk is the gateway to expansion, and is a requirement for the evolution of the soul.
